[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in and live in Arlington. I drive by the Pentagon almost every day, and the last time I can remember seeing the parking lot as full as it is now during the winter holidays was back when I was in middle school - in December of 2001, when the Afghanistan war was getting started.

It looks like that again now.

Bookmark this post - we are about to start another war. Probably with Iran, [b]with the Israelis helping. [/b]Or maybe even against China and Russia. Something is going to happen, and soon. [/quote]

LOL what are they going to help with...holding our beer? The Israel can not project force. The only thing they can help us with is as a cheerleader.

Israel likely has somewhere between 80-300 nuclear bombs. If that’s not “projecting force”, then I don’t think you even understand the term. [/quote]

this is not projecting force. projecting force means having a force you can actually use. many countries have the bomb and there has been many conflicts in which they have been involved since WW2 and how many times did they use the bomb (except for WW2 with Hiroshima and Nagasaki)? zero times. for Israel the nuclear bombs are a deterrent that might be  used only in case of an immediate, existential threat .  any war with Iran would be fought with conventional weapons, and there is the issue of how much help Israel could actually provide to fight a country with 80 million people while having its own internal issues to address.

remember when UK and France got involved in Libya. the UK was using missiles , shooting several a day and an article on the newspaper said that the UK has about 80 missiles of that type in its arsenal (US has thousands) meaning that Gadhafi could have simply hunkered down for two weeks and the UK would have finished all its missiles and this is also why the US was dragged in. do you think the UK could have then used the nuclear bomb on Tripoli?    I don't believe Trump is about to start a real war. I don't believe the military would want it and his GOP enablers are not that stupid (hopefully). he may try to do something like the killing of Suleimani to make things more chaotic and difficult for Biden and the new administration[/quote]
