At The Economic Collapse, Michael Snyder discusses the dangers currently accumulating in the Middle East, referencing Sen. Marco Rubio’s assessment that this is “the most dangerous Middle East moment since 1973.” Then Snyder suggests it’s even more dangerous than that fraught time. He writes:
If Iran hits targets that are outside the land of Israel, that may not spark an all-out war in the region.
But if Iran hits targets inside the land of Israel, that will literally push us to the brink of the unthinkable.
Earlier today, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio posted the following message on social media…
Iran wants to launch a large scale attack from their own territory against #Israel
Israel will respond instantly with an even more severe counterattack inside of Iran
What happens next is the most dangerous Middle East moment since 1973
I agree with his assessment except for one thing.
I believe that what we are facing is far more dangerous than anything that we witnessed in 1973.
One British news source is reporting that a war simulation that was “crafted by military and security experts” indicates that all-out war is likely if Iran starts hitting targets inside Israeli territory…
Iran and it’s terror proxies including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis all have powerful long-range, high-precision rockets which they use to hit key Israeli targets.
Israel hits back and is fighting off Iranian proxies on a frontline in Syria and Lebanon near its border while striking Iran by air.
Tel Aviv appeals to the US several times for intervention but with no luck becomes isolated in its fight against Iran.
According to the simulation, nuclear weapons are likely to be used as the conflict progresses…
Eventually it resorts to a non-lethal nuclear detonation in an attempt to make Iran surrender, which it does not.
A desperate Israel eventually launches 50 nuclear weapons towards Iran, who unleashes its own nuke ambush against an air base with US troops.
The war game simulation ends here with a conflict that would involve Syria, Lebanon, even Yemen and could reduce large parts of the Middle East to a pile of smoking, radioactive rubble.
In the entire recorded history of the world, we have never seen a war like this.
Can you imagine the chaos that would erupt all over the globe if major cities in the Middle East were reduced to piles of “smoking, radioactive rubble”?
Let us hope that the war simulation described above is not accurate.
