One thing about Wretchard is that his comments are often even better than his original posts.

We conservatives like to point out that the liberals are either fellow-travelers of the Marxists or they are nice people that haven't noticed in 100 years of socialism that it always fails. We feel so smart when we put almost all liberals into the "they just don't understand" category. We need to face we have a likewise elephant in our room we are determined not to notice and that is the persistent and willful refusal to look at our opponent with clear vision. Because of that we demotivate ourselves, even against a deadly opponent like Marxists wrecking the world.

There is no other reasonable explanation for why "liberals" persistently advocate weakness, breaking all societal conventions, and their adopting the views of any mortal enemy to Western Civilization. There is no reasonable alternative that explains why NOW will help smear women, the ACLU will ignore civil rights abuse, and environmentalists create more pollution than they are working to wreck the world. The few/many that don't know they are actively wrecking the world actively avoid seeing that everywhere their plans are implemented the same decline and dysfunction follows. Those "nice" liberals deserve no more respect and accommodation than you would give Typhoid Mary. Anyone that was able to see the error of their ways has already come over to our side. The remaining "liberals" don't think there is anything in Western Civ worth saving. However, recognizing that "liberals" are in league with the jihadists to destroy the system suggests wide-ranging action. It's just easier and more pleasant to believe anything but the truth about them. That's how we contribute to the decline of Western Civ. Better the world end than we feel the need to violate the Mayberry Ladies Auxiallry code of conduct that lives in our heads.

"Get in their face and punch back twice as hard." Call them what they are and don't be talked out of it because it causes a scene. The commie-libs trade on the certain fact we are rule-followers. There is no pride in being the most cooperative jew to climb into the cattle car to Auschwitz. The commie-libs want us enslaved or worse, the least we can do is wreck their meetings.

The US and Israel aren't the only nuclear powers. There are other wild cards in the deck, like France, Russia and India, who might have their own motives for a preemptive strike. Russia in particular might want to cauterize the festering sore on its border in order to achieve domestic peace and a larger share of oil sales.

This is one situation where NIMBY doesn't work. Not even in anyone's backyard.

Well, Fernandez is generally spot on, but the comparison with 1939 is problematic. Hitler knew that France and the UK were going to go to war over Poland. That was not a surprise. I've seen enough stuff from the last half of the 1930's to know that they all thought a war was coming.

The question here is more of "what could happen?"

Yes, Muslims hate the Jews, but nuclear posturing by Iran is going to be answered by the Saudis somehow, and I have no idea what that may lead to. Other than it will be bad for them closest to it.

Will the oil fields get slagged? So how bad would that be? For the US, a serious annoyance. For Europe and China? Sucks to be them. For Russia? They just got richer. Better watch out that the Chinese don't try and come and take it away.

Just some ideas.

The next Nuclear detonation(s) will be an Islamic one.
