Can you speak Russisn? If not get the lessons booked.Israel are the example of why we might as well get rid of our nuclear weapons and spend the money on the here and now, given that Israel are telling us that they are constantly being attacked, on all sides, and yet they’ve had nuclear weapons since 1967. Seems the deterrent effect might be a tad overstated!
They haven’t got them, though.MAD works on the basis that participants are all able to think rationally. The Iranian regime do not conform to our notion of rational thinking .
They are lead by religious fanatics.
The eschatology of their belief system encourages them to seek conflict with Israel and the West to bring forward the return of the hidden Imam .
Look up Shia Twelverism and it’s eschatology.
The people in charge of this country actually believe this .
Let me know if you still think they should have access to nuclear weapons .
When I included the US it was because of their role post WW2.Nowt to do with US at the time it was a carve up based on the interests of the UK and France.
Undoubtably the creation of the state if Israel - but everything else is related to the defeat of the Ottoman empire - which had to happen.When I included the US it was because of their role post WW2.
Whilst the concept of MAD relies on rational thinking the practice does not, because it requires, alongside a belief that all parties would rationally believe nuclear war is catastrophic, a belief in the infallibility of the system and no system is infallible. Past performance is no guarantee of future success. Rationality is also in the eye of the beholder.MAD works on the basis that participants are all able to think rationally.

When Trump first shook hands with Farage. Hive mind nonsenseI'd love to know when the far right in Britain first got on board the Israel train.
Tyrannical (exercising power in a cruel or arbitrary way.) Which country is doing that again? I dont see Iran nakedly killing tens of thousands. Dont get me wrong they are all bad, but saying Israel are in the right is ridiculous.Israel have carried out a number of strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the past several decades, as well as targeting key individuals within their nuclear programme and of course developing the Stuxnet programme. Thankfully these actions have so far prevented a tyrannical regime in Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and hopefully this morning’s actions will prove just as effective.
So what you’re doing in posting what you did is simply highlighting the efficacy of Israel’s actions and indeed the justification for doing so.
I presume this wasn’t quite what you intended, but thanks all the same.
Amen to that.One consequence of the allies victory in WW1 was the collapse of the Ottoman empire and subsequent carve up of the Middle East.
Can't help but think that things would be better if the British and Americans had not been the prime movers and shakers in the area
Maybe so, doesn't mean i can't be concerned with the countries that have them already.Well they already do so it's kind of moot.
I'm glad they aren't in Syria, Libya and other failed states though.
You can apply so much of this rationale to Israel, and they're being openly aggressive to other countries in the regionMAD works on the basis that participants are all able to think rationally. The Iranian regime do not conform to our notion of rational thinking .

77 years of terror, surely?Israel are in the right !
30 years of terror and I hope this is the beginning of the end for the Iranian Revolutionary Guards!
Why? What benefit would it serve them? What evidence is there that they’re even remotely capable of this, or that they’d want to bankrupt themselves attempting to do it?Without Nukes, the US coukd back out of its commitments to NATO and Russia would definately attack Europe.

So you think invading a country on their own borders equipped largely with Cold War era Ex-Soviet weapons is a good analogue for rolling through Germany and France with their fifth generation combat aircraft and armour that, in the conflict you site, has been shredding the tiny number of modern tanks Russia has been able to deploy? OK…I think invading Ukraine, which is in Europe, was a bit of a clue.
I watched some of Louis Theroux last night on tv.I hope the Iran situation doesn't distract too much from aid gettng to the starving and dying innocents in Gaza.
It's incredible how cruel Israel is.
