Logistics of an Israeli strike on Iran: an informed view from Germany. How things might play out, in the remote event that smart power and sanctions don’t work (and by “remote” we mean “likely.”)

The Israelis are not bluffing, they will not sit by and let Iran and the screwballs gain an atomic weapon that in turn can be used on them. They have learned the lesson of appeasement in the hardest of ways.
The Iranian people wish to be free, they need just a little support from the West (USA and GB) and they will take care of the rest. barry is so worried about kissing ass of the Saudis he wont lift a finger to help those who are truly oppressed.
Before the end of summer Israel will strike Iran with cunning accuracy. The Mossad is not an agency to be taken lightly. The military now has someone in charge that will not use restraint as in the past.
The rallying cry of Israel is NEVER AGAIN! Perhap Imanutjob should take heed.
The Israelis are going to take care of business when it comes to Iran, all the sanctions in the world isn't going to do diddly / squat when China and the Russians are Iran's number 1 oil customer. But how much do you want to bet "Dear Leader" tries to take credit for it when it happens.
When you consider that Israel just wants to be left alone, I don't see how they can just sit there and wait for Imanutjob to lob nukes at them. They're not fools.
Iran should ask Egypt bout the 6 day war
This is how I view it from a Christian point of view. Islamists especially Iran (Ancient Persia) has been commissioned by evil forces to continue and finish the work that has been started since the Jewish people were commanded by G-d to speak of Him to the world, but in all reality, the most dangerous time for the Jewish people was during WWII. The Nazis perfected the murder of mass amounts of people. It was a machine. A machine that was allowed to be built uninterrupted, once the machine was out it took millions upon millions of lives to destroy it.
Every regimen that goes against the Jews specifically, and against Christian and/or liberty loving people on the general level, amplifies what the past one did. Corraling the Jews (and others) and exterminating them one by one or by groups takes too long, even with weaponized gases. It was an effective method, but like I said took too long and in the meantime they were fighting on several war fronts.
The next obvious step for another regime is to exterminate mass amounts of innocent people with one or two strikes and if possible get the rest with a few more strikes later. This time it needs to be coupled with the destruction of the forces that could create the most problems for their plans. Hitler did not take the US seriously and neither did Japan. That was to their detriment. Iran is not making that mistake and neither are the other Islamists countries. It will take immobilizing the stronger opposing nations/factions either from without or from within (or both). Sometimes all it takes is infecting the culture and outliving and outpopulating the cultures with their own. The only way to strike once or twice to make the greatest impact, will be with a nuclear weapon or a weapon of mass destruction. It is an evil plan that will be effective if it is allowed to be carried out.
Think about it: The Allies of WWII are being destroyed from without and within. Mostly it is a cultural and religious invasion. The English are no longer a superpower and they have allowed themselves to be taken over by either (evil) godless people that want anarchy or by Islamists people that want to overtake the West. The US sadly is not far behind. Latin America is not a threat. All other European countries are in the brink of self destruction, Africa? Please no help whatsoever is to be expected from there and the Asian countries as well have been taking over by Islam and other -isms. Who is to blame? Well everyone over the age of 45, lol, but no really everyone is. We let this happen. It is our fault. We shall be destroyed if we do not do anything about it.
Thankfully I believe in G-d and I'm good, but it is going to suck, no joke to be destroyed by a nuclear weapon, especially after everyone has been warned. If the Jews believe that they can surgically deal with this and nip it in the bud, I say more power to them. They need to do what they need to do. Haters you are seriously misguided and blinded if you think that Iran is not a threat. They will kill you the moment they can and you stop being useful, so your stupidity won't pollute them.
Good post Kimmy. I say that Israel should drop several well placed nukes in Iran and then invite the rest of the Muslim world to come look at the holes!
TY! Israel needs to do something and they need to strike first for sure.
Great post, Kimmy....well thought out and written....
Thank you!
And by "smart power" you mean "anything but."
Israel cannot sit by. They will do what they have to in order to survive. I was watching a documentary earlier about the last days of the Third Reich. When the German citizenry near the death camps were made to bury the victims and otherwise work in the camps, many complained that they didn't know. The Allies gave them no quarter, they considered every German guilty because they failed to do anything to stop the regime. I cannot see how the same standard would not apply to the Iranian people if Iran attacks Israel with nuclear weapons or are collateral damage of an Israeli preemptive strike.
Oh, johnny.....another thumbing down. Puss.
I was going to say that it looks like you have a fan.
it's all he's got
I'm pretty much for non-aggression. But I don't see how Israel could sit by and wait for another holocaust. It does make me sad for the people of Iran though. They certainly do not deserve the nutjobs they have running things and forcing Israel's hand in this matter.
Too bad our youthful Precedent couldn't get behind a Persian Spring.
Psst. Ruben. Its "president" not precendent. I'm not harping, just you've done that at least 3 tmes and it makes the left think we're stupid if we make the same mistake twice, I am typing very quietly, so no one will hear. ;P
rose, if the left is too stupid to understand that Obama has set precedents for how government make work (or fail) in the future and how he has left us with unprecedented levels of debt, then, do you think they'll notice how I intentionally misspelled president?
Keep up the good fight, My Friend!
Point taken. :(
We, as freedom loving Americans, need to unpresident his ass ASAP.
Right on, Homey.
Um, Rose, I think that spelling was deliberate.
You may be right. I'm rather concrete!
