The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Seems a bit unlikely, given that Israel doesn't have the ability to actually win that war.

Actually, they probably do. They have nukes. I was not sure the Felon wouldn't use them, but -fortunately- he didn't. Israel is in a different situation than we were. Their civilians are killed semi-regularly. Various proxies against Israel launch actual attacks in force. It's sort of existential for them.

Not saying they will do it. But Bibi is enough of a hawk that I wouldn't put it past him. They have on the order of 100 nukes. That's more than enough to do the job. I don't think any other Islamic country (except Pakistan) could respond in kind.
