A Zero-sum War

Excerpt from this day’s program:

…And now we hear Putin has decided to sell Iran, after five-year delay, Russia’s S-300 air defense system which is far superior to its current equipment. The sale will enable Iran to defend its nuclear works better if Israel tries to destroy them, make it harder to do that.

If I were prime minister, though, I would not order such an attack. I think it is irrational. All agree that a successful strike would only mean delaying the program a few years. Obama’s plan he himself admits is also only a delaying tactic.

No, I think such an attack would be pointless. And in any case, in this age of foolishness, stupidity and decadence, people seem to have forgotten that the enemy is not equipment. Centrifuges are not the enemy. The enemy is no machine but the leaders of that country.

Israelis also seem to think that if Israel attacks just the nuclear works, then that would be okay and the Iranians would respond proportionately.

No. One must see that an attack on Iran’s nuclear installations is an attack on Iran as a whole. It is an act of war, and in war one wants to defeat utterly the enemy.

What I would order up is no strike on the nuclear installations. I would not go near them. They are well defended.

Instead, I would wait for the government and parliament to convene, and when they all are their on the most important day in their calendar, and strike there. Bomb the parliament in an effort to decapitate the government of Iran, kill all their leaders, which would also open the door to anti-Islamist Iranians to take power and free the country from the grip of these maniacal Muslim priests…
