Israel has 300 nukes and Iran has none. Who is a threat to whom, was his question. He also talks about staying out of the affairs of other nations.

Israel has long had nuclear weapons (even as its policy is deliberate ambiguity on that issue). It has never threatened or attempted to use those weapons against Iran or any of its foes. In contrast, Iran has repeatedly made threats against Israel. In short, Iran is a threat to Israel, not the other way around.

Pat has never liked Israel much. On top of that he's an outright isolationist.
 
I've heard numbers of 100 but never 300. Since nobody knows, the "threat" grows all by itself. Eventually, Israel will be reported to have thousands of nuclear weapons. Be funny if they didn't have more than a few and an excellent disinformation department. Or do you think they would spend the presumably huge amount of money to build so many despite the unlikely event of their use?

( I have neither information or an opinion, just hanging out)

Given the disparity in size, Israel needs 300 nukes to keep the Iranians from launching the one that they are supposedly building. It will only take one nuke to destroy Israel, and if the Iranians try it, they better pray that they get their bomb exploded on target before Israel can launch about 100 in return. Iran will be destroyed.
 
There are plenty of valid arguments for why going to war with Iran is a bad idea and the dangers of Israeli nuclear policy. However, Buchanan's anti-semitic history makes his motivations suspect and his conclusions untrustworthy.
 
Supporting a nation because a holy book tells you so is completely ignorant.
 




This curse?
