1. And Bibi Talks and Talks and Talks
DSM ,   USA   (04.14.15)
The clock keeps ticking and Bibi keeps talking nonsense with no discernible plan of action.
2. Marco Rubio can't become US Pres soon enough!

3. SA-300
EFBarasch ,   Sacramento USA   (04.14.15)
The reports coming out of DC say that the SA-300 is a game changer. That only stealth fighters and bombers can operate with it in action. You choose who you want to believe.

5. iran nuclear threat
tomer ,   jerusalem   (04.14.15)
It may be not political correct to say that iran will get nuclear bomb anyway,but this is what it looks like and Bibi is the main reason for it. Israel ,for a long time,according to foreign sources, is a nuclear power and has capabilities to deliver a-bombs via sea or land missiles.israel is the only power in our region with these capabilities. Now this situation automatically started an arms race among our neighbours. (Iran,syria and most probably others). History tells us that arms races like this ,for example US-russia, can be stopped if both sides agree to reduce over time their capabilities.Bibi of course claimed and still claims that iranians are irrational war mongers and thats why the world has to stop them. However this seems to cry over spilled milk. The best one can do today is to "manage " the situation as Kissinger put it. A real reduction would only come if Israel would agree to reduce and to eliminate its capabilities when the other side does the same. But Bibi's policy today is not trustworthy and therefore it will not happen and we will run into ......????
6. Easy to say !.
Arne Strand. ,   Sweden.   (04.14.15)
I Quote - The system is intended to protect against missiles, rockets and hostile aircrafts, and has different versions with different varying capabilities. Comment - I think an EMP is required to Neutralise Irans all capabilitys in order for a strike. Arn.Sweden.

my grandfather's cousin's wife. She was from the pre-communist era. She doesn't share many similarities with Putin, though - to put it mildly.
8. #6 - Do you even understand the physics of an EMP?
spyguy ,   seattle usa   (04.14.15)
To produce a small EMP, requires a BIG nuclear blast, which woudl get Israel branded as a nuclear aggressor and probably, at best, get Israel completely isolated from the entire world economy. At worst, the people down-wind of the blast (China, India for example) might just nuke Israel in return. Then there is the "slight" problem that the S-300/400 is hardened against an EMP. Before you post made up stuff, study the science.
9. S300...Problem....maybe?
