US facing a cataclysm

Forbes reporter, Peter Robinson talks about an interview with a military historian and a former CIA field officer. Both are experts in Middle East affairs and their observations on Iran's capability to produce nuclear weapons and what they see as happening in the next few months is not a pretty picture.
....What is the probability that Israel will strike Iran within the next six months?
"Forty-nine percent," said Baer.
"I would say 50-50," Hanson replied.
The final observation: Iran would retaliate......

  1. The Israelis are not about to sit on their hands while the nutters in Iran plot to destroy them. Israel will strike first and they will strike hard. All the way up to nukes if need be.
    The same scenario prevails in Pakistan. The Taliban, Al-Queda, and there verminous cohorts have vowed to attack India over the disputed Kashmir region. Once the Pakistani government becomes weakened to the point where it is evident that the terrorists are about to take control, India will launch a first strike nuclear attack to prevent the Pakistani nukes from falling into the hands of the extremists. None of these nations grew up with the understanding of the concept of MAD hanging over their heads as did the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. These two nations sparred and threatened for years until their own analysis convinced the majority of their military and political leaders that an attack by one side meant the destruction of both. None of the countries in the Middle East and Southern Asia have yet come to that conclusion.
    it will come to war in both cases.
