Ultimately Obama’s fantasies are not sustainable. There is no real missile defense, Obama having killed the program. What we have is Patriot missiles which cannot really hit the ICBMs that Iran has. They are certainly useless against Missiles fired from Lebanon and Gaza and Syria. Flight time of less than a minute to hit major Israeli population centers, with nukes.

So, no, Israel will have to decide: kill half the Iranian population to survive, or die itself “morally.” Ghandi’s urging of Jews to simply be killed by the Nazis, to be the morally correct ones, or survival which means killing millions of Iranians through their own nukes first.

Lets be honest, most of the Gentry Liberals in the US, including most Jews, would prefer the former. Israelis are disquieting, Jews who mostly reject the Gentry Liberal assumptions of PC and Multiculturalism in favor of ardent, Jewish-based nationalism. Zionism being an uncomfortable reminder of ethnic nationalism, as unwanted in SWPL circles as the Marine Corps Hymn.

My guess is that Israel will wait until the last moment in the hope that the Green Revolution will succeed (what a joke!)

Nevertheless, in one way or another, US hegemony over the Gulf is ended. Among the casualties is the ability to lean on the Saudis as their protectors to keep oil cheap. Get ready for oil at $150-250 a barrel. At least. Lets not kid ourselves either. Both Russia and Iran need really expensive oil to survive, so they can pay their thugs. Men with guns don’t come cheap.

All this suits Obama just fine. He views himself as the occupier of nasty, horrible people, who have the original sin of being both White and American. He’s there to bring them to justice. Most Gentry Liberals and SWPL share these beliefs too, so it’s not just that man.
