I see I’ll never live the moose down. Maybe I’ll go back to Typos_R_Us as a nome’ de Web.
Meanwhile what would happen if Israel cuts loose a few Nukes? Would the Muslims start killing any Dhimmi they could get their hands on? Maybe but so what?
Everybody dies and Israel will still have more nukes.
The world will be horrified, for about 2 weeks. In 2 years it will be mostly forgotten. New despots will take the place of the former despots. I suspect that process will kill more people then the nukes.
Will Israel be tossed out of the UN? Probably but again, so what? President Bush the Younger challenged the UN back in 2001 and the UN failed to meet that challenge, proving that they are nothing but a sink hole for monies better spent elsewhere. I think if they just nuke Tehran, Damascus and Mecca, none of the other Muslim nations will do much. Sort of like when the Einsatzgruppen would line up their victims. As they walked down the line shooting them in the back of the head, they would stand there and wait, Like good little Jews. It was reported that they rarely would run or fight back. Shock that it was actually happening and disbelief that it would happen to them.

The only military that is capable of giving the Jews fits is the US military. I don’t see that happening. If LLMD commits them without Congressional authorization, then the Military is within their right to refuse those orders. Considering that there already are officers that have resigned because they don’t consider the Usurper to be a legitimate POTUS combined with the general concern within the military over fags and queers, Somebody needs to keep in mind that one NEVER gives an order that you know won’t be obeyed. 1st rule of leadership.
I wouldn’t worry to much about ammo stocks. Logistics is important in long drawn out campaigns. Israel should have enough munitions to last a week, which is about all they will need.

AFAIK, Israel is using a version of this;

I think the guy that sold the design to them is still in jail.

The Israeli subs are Harpoon capable. Harpoons are NOT nuclear capable. Tomahawks are. The USA refused to sell Tomahawks to Israel for that reason, it is presumed.
So Israel developed it’s own SLCM that was nuclear capable. Then to get back the research money it sold that weapon’s designs to China. The US Congress then whined about the technology transfer but the technology in question was jointly developed and the USA had no legal right to restrict it’s transfer.
While nothing is known for sure, best guess is that Israel has a rough equivalent of the Tomahawk with a version of the W-80 onboard. It would make sense to have either 2 or 4 on board. That is because with 3 subs, they will have 1 on station, 1 in transit, 1 in dock.
Of course, it is possible to switch crews when they re-provision at sea and keep 2 or more on station. Lots of wear and tear on the ships when you do that.
With all 3 subs available, Israel could turn every Arab capital into a glowing crater. If they are going to be destroyed anyway, there is no reason not to. Look up the word zealot and see where it originated.
