If they have just tested a nuke, now is the time to glass the country,
And all the innocent men , women and children in it ?
The phrase "glass the country" seems to have become popular on this forum recently but people who use it seem ignorant of the reality of what that would actually mean , I find that very very sad.
Perhaps Russia should "glass" us because reasons.

I noticed that too. I prefer "Canned Sunshine".
Call it what you please the suggestion is still idiotic , it smacks of keyboard warriors with little understanding of the reality of what they're saying.
We reported earlier on a UN source who said Israeli forces had attacked the organisation's peacekeeper observation post in Lebanon again this morning.
It came after two people from UNIFIL, the UN's peacekeeping mission in Lebanon, were injured when Israel fired on them yesterday.
An official UN statement now appears to have confirmed the second attack, while providing more detail about the incident at the Naqoura headquarters.
"Two peacekeepers were injured after two explosions occurred close to an observation tower," the statement said.
"One injured peacekeeper was taken to a hospital in Tyre, while the second is being treated in Naqoura.
"Today, several T-walls at our UN position 1-31, near the Blue Line in Labbouneh, fell when an IDF caterpillar hit the perimeter and IDF tanks moved in the proximity of the UN position.
"Our peacekeepers remained at the location, and a UNIFIL Quick Reaction Force was dispatched to assist and reinforce the position."

A UN inquiry has accused Israel of carrying out a concerted policy to destroy Gaza's healthcare system in actions that amount to war crimes and "extermination".
Navi Pillay, a former UN high commissioner for human rights who is chairing the inquiry, said Israel has carried out "relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities" in the past year.
In a statement ahead of its release, she said: "Children in particular have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and indirectly from the collapse of the health system."
The UN inquiry's statement also accused Israeli forces of targeting medical vehicles, deliberately killing and torturing medical personnel, and restricting permits for patients to leave the Gaza Strip.

Hamas has denied hiding militants and command posts among civilians.
The UN inquiry's statement comes after 27 people, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school sheltering displaced people in central Gaza, according to Palestinian medics.
The strike, which also wounded many more, happened in the city of Deir al Balah, where upwards of a million people have taken shelter.
Israeli military said it carried out a "precise" strike targeting a militant command inside the school, without providing evidence.

Iran hasn't threatened anyone with Nukes , Russia on the other hand does it regularly.
The major destabilising force in the region is Nuclear armed Israel , if I were to place a bet on who is most likely to use the weapon my money would go on the untouchable Israel , it's easy to understand why a country opposed to Israel and its practices would want such a weapon.

At some point , way long passed in my opinion , the International community is going to have to confront Netanyahu and stop this madness , it is they who have become the Nazi state.

Do you really know what a nuke on Israel would cause. Yes, I could see the mad mullahs using one but the aftermath could/would ruin all of the middle east. Fallout is no joke. When Chernobyl popped the fall out spread all over Europe, it even reached the UK in as much as they advised not to eat Welsh lamb because of the contamination.
I think you completely misunderstood my point. I actually AGREE with you. I was saying that now that Iran has Nukes, it is no longer feasible to attack Iran if it can respond with nuclear holocaust on Israel and fallout to surrounding countries.
I have a feeling if Iran truly has a Nuke Israel is already on it there is no way they would let that ride.

There will never be any sort of compromise or understanding with Iran.
