      Does Iran have operational nukes? They’d probably respond in kind. If not, they’d probably launch basically everything they have at Israel.

        Pakistan has made guarantees that they will retaliate with their nuclear weapons if a nuclear strike occurs on Iran.

        EDIT: I went to find a source and Pakistan has walked this back and are denying that they ever said it

        They do not, that’s kind of what this whole deal is about dude. And they’ve been launching what they have at Israel for a few days, it’s not much.

          It’s not much? They broke through the iron dome, that’s a bit more than not much my dude.

            It’s not nothing but Israel is bombing targets on Iran’s eastern border right now, that speaks a clear language.

          Most countries, Israel included, don’t possess the material for a protracted war. Most Non-US countries can make war, at best, for six months.

        Even if they don’t have any nukes that they developed themselves, there’s always the possibility they could’ve bought one or two from North Korea…

      If anyone does. It’ll be Nosferatu. All to cover his own ass. Because once he’s out as pres he’s going to jail for a loooot of corruption apparently.

      I don’t think they will, but I’ve been thinking that one way Israel could get current and potential future enemies off their back for good would be if they finally showed the world that they do possess nukes and are not afraid to use them, possibly by making an example of someone. I do hope they won’t prove quite so callous.

        If that happens (and I hope it doesn’t, but they’re crazy enough to do it), can the west stop supporting them and leave them to their own devices?

      Yeah, he seems narcissistic enough that he really doesn’t think there would be consequences.

      Hopefully there are other people around him who doesn’t want the rest of the world aiming everything they have at them.
