What a week.
The President cancels a missile defence system to be built in Poland and the Czech Republic, and the Iranians respond by revealing a second nuclear materials processing plant. That's quite a slap in the face.
Oh, and the Russians get a boost, for free: All your Poles are belong to us.
The President wants to embrace the Iranians, who respond by revealing a second nuclear materials processing plant. That's quite a slap in the face.
One question I've not heard asked is just how the assorted US intelligence agencies missed all this.
Back in 2003 we were told Iran was years away from nukes, while Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Iraq didn't, and it looks like Iran soon will.
What's going to happen out of all this?
Well, Europe, enervated and all its money spent on wlefare, cannot project power. It;ll roll over. Amaerica, under President Pantywaist, will do nothing. The only people who will art are the Israelis. If the Iranians get nukes, and IRBMs, then Israel faces destruction. Israel will attack,
Israel may have some new-found advantage: the only working Iranian AWACS just got taken out in a mid-air collision with an F-5. So, no early warning for the Iranians.
Brzezinski has indicated Obama would shoot down Israeli jets rather than let then overfly Iraq en-route to Iran. The Israeli's have some Boeing 707s converted to do in-flight refueling, so I guess they could fly all the way around the Saudi peninsula, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Saudis were to give the Israelis permission to overfly. They might even give them an E-3.
