Is there a nation or a people in the world more afraid of being attacked than Israel? More ready to defend itself? And yet Bibi and Barak both confirmed what I've said all along: Iran is no nuclear threat to them, or anyone else, and it never would be. Israel's defenses are too strong, and if Iran nuked Tel Aviv, Iran would shortly afterwards cease to exist, for all practical purposes.

I'll never forget the first time I broached the subject of nuclear weapons. All I got in response was crickets. Not a thing. I know it's a tough subject. I know it's scary as hell. I know it goes against intuition to think that a country with nukes isn't a threat. But it isn't. Not as long as MAD works.

I've marched against nuclear proliferation. I've marched to ban all nukes. Now I'm quite a bit older. Nukes aren't going away any time soon. The Federal Reserve will be abolished first.

But NO nation is going to use nukes in a first strike, except possibly the U.S. If any nation uses nukes, they will be reduced to ashes by a totally justified counterattack.

Anyone who claims otherwise is unable to face reality, or just can't make their minds go to a hypothetical nuclear scenario. Understandable. But not very realistic.
