Is it time to join the fray?

 

"This war has taken us to the precipice of history. What we do and how we do it, could affect everything for evermore. We need to do the right thing and do it fast. The Israelis may be our friends, but time is not. Do the right thing President Trump. It is the right thing to do." 

Let's face it. Israel has exceeded expectations. The war between Israel and Iran has been a David and Goliath story for sure. Iran, whose size is somewhere between Texas and Alaska, is at war with Israel who is about the size of New Jersey. And for the most part, Israel has been taking it to Iran. So much so, just recently Israel has established air superiority over all of Iran. As the saying goes, that ain't nothing! 

But with all this success, here is the rub. First off, Iran still has over 1,000 ballistic missiles, some of which are hypersonic. As good as the Iron Dome has been in the past, as good as our AEGIS system is (acting as support), as good as getting help from some other countries, these ballistic missiles are just too much at times. And when a 20-ton missile makes it through the gauntlet of defensive measures, the damage is extreme. And this tit for tat could go on for weeks. The carnage and death might be too much for the civilians living in Israel's major cities.

But there is one more thing which is even more serious. Some of the centrifuges which are very close to coming up with the correct recipe to making a handful of nuclear warheads, is buried so deep underground, Israel cannot get to them. If this war ends, and those centrifuges are allowed to finish their vile task, this war will all be for naught. One nuclear warhead, on one ballistic missile, and it is game over for Israel. Period.

Netanyahu wants Trump to use our B-2 planes with our super bunker busters and help out. Even though Trump wants to stay out of this fray, one or two sorties with B-2 planes carrying bunker busters could be the fix to this issue. Right now, with the air superiority that Israel has established over Iran, we could almost safely fly a Piper Cub over Iran. With the invisibility that the B-2 bombers have, they should be about as safe as safe can be. 

I say do it. Get it done. We have the fix to keeping Iran from becoming a nuclear power. Besides the ability to destroy Israel, a nuclear Iran would try to nuke us also. It would turn the Middle East into the world's newest arms race. All the outcomes would be negative. Again, we need to join the fray. Bomb those underground nuclear sights so hard and so long, not even ants could survive.

This war has taken us to the precipice of history. What we do and how we do it, could affect everything for evermore. We need to do the right thing and do it fast. The Israelis may be our friends, but time is not. Do the right thing President Trump. It is the right thing to do.
