What'd He Just Say?

Please read the linked article, I'll wait. It's pretty important. I mean this. Have you read it? Good.

Joe Biden said that we won't stop Israel from attacking Iran. Syria has even said that they won't notice if Israeli war jets fly through their airspace. Iran has already countered as saying that they'll defend themselves like they always said they would.

ISRAEL HAS NUKES! I know they say they don't and we say they don't but they do. In case you hadn't noticed, there are a lot of little countries in that region that don't like each other very much. If it hits the fan between Israel and Iran, how bad do you think it will get? I think it will get pretty bad. Hopefully we'll stay out of it, even though Israel is an ally of ours, because otherwise Russia will get into it, they're an ally of Iran. It could very quickly escalate into a major conflict the likes of which the world has never seen, or it could fizzle out because Joe Biden was just talking to hear himself talk and the Israelis and Iranians are just making the same noise they've made for a few hundred years. It could go either way. Which way do you think it will go?

UPDATE: The State Department has since come out saying that Joe Biden's statements are not a 'green light' for Israel to bomb Iran. Thank goodness. Still, answer the questions because they are going to apply for a long time.

  1. Well, that update pretty much cured your suspicions. Otherwise, though, Joey does have a point, meddling in other countries affairs can be good or bad, and Israel is closer so for them it could be bad.

  2. Yeah but it's political suicide to run on anything except a pro-Israel platform. We have more nukes than anyone -- did you talk about the US/Russian disarmament agreement? Nope. No you did not.
