Israel's nukes
« on: September 18, 2004, 08:11:57 PM »
the Iran nuke thread gave me another  thought to ponder.

Israel has a lot of nukes, no arab state has a nuke. A lot of Arab states wish to destroy Israel. They claim Israel is out to get everyone.

Isn't is funny that a lot of Arabs think Israel is out to destroy them, but Israel could destroy them all at any moment, yet does not.?

You think Israel would still exist if the situation were reversed?

I don't think Israel has enough nukes to "destroy them all".

Suppose, hypothetically, they could, then re-examine the question.

But it's a good point. If every one of them had nukes, it'd be a train wreck.

I kind of look at Israel as a little piece of North America that happens to have the rotton luck of being smack dab in the middle of chaos. They, like pretty much anyone else with nukes, won't use them unless they're dead either way. Can't say the same for some of the have-nots.

Agreed. Some nations are a little too eager to get them. Kinda implies they wanna use them.

Britain needed a little piece of NA close to its umbilical cord which is the Suez Canal, cuz if the canal was to ever be shutdown they'd go belly up in three months. Otherwize Israel, it would never exist today.

Think that was "Sum of all fears" big

The real scary one,,,is the Idea of what the  American Billionare has planned in "Rainbow Six"

Edit- sorry to hijack a bit, but my response too the topic could take days,and its one of the most important issues we will ever know,
but basicly... Our current state of mankind needs to get thru this time period without ending it all.

Never, as in never for all eternity of human civilization... This nuclear stuff has only just started, not even 60 years yet.

Israel has only tactical nukes.  10 kiloton warheads mostly.

Israel wouldn't use the nukes unless all the arabs states would be attacking it.
Even then it'd be a last resort, probably in small quantities to make them think otherwise.

Besides it'd be rather counter productive to have the fallout land on your side of the border, if the weather isn't just right.
Israel is also so small piece of land that a single cloud could pollute the whole country ;)
