    Trump’s team is also saying the same. I can see it going like this:

    Trump backed Israel nukes Gaza. Iran gets pissy about this and tries to nuke Israel. US immediately interferes and tries to nuke Iran in retaliation. Israel, if it still exists, also joins. This pisses off Russia who joins in the fight. China and North Korea follow. Taiwan, Ukraine, and South Korea get attacked. We all die.

      Israel is not going to nuke Gaza. They can’t control the wind. Iran maybe. Gaza, no way. That’s just poisoning themselves. They may be genocidal, but they’re not that stupid.

          I’m sure some people want it to happen, but Netanyahu isn’t suicidal. He’s not going to destroy Gaza just so he can die of radiation sickness.

          The riff-raff are the true believers (in Israel, most being brainwashed since childhood with racial supremacist beliefs).

          The leadership are just Sociopaths.

          Sociopaths do what they do, no matter how abhoring, for their own personal gain and satisfaction, and dying from radiation poisoning ain’t good or satisfying.

        It’s a bit like Finland and Russia; we’re the one country they wouldn’t nuke because St. Petersburg is too close.

        It’s almost poetic, really.
