Israel vrs Iran. Strike? Numbers say no.

Remember that the US stock market does not like uncertainty. The equity markets in the US seem stable.

If there was a green light for a launch against Iran the big investors would have got wind of it. Despite other things this would show up in US equity trading.

So.. no green light for launch against Iran for now.

IMO they won't attack. I'd rather think they will attack Lebanon/Syria, but that will be a big mistake because Iran has given their support to Syria in case of an attack by Israel.

Actually, Israel could probably come up with a justification to attack Lebanon/Syria without too much difficulty. If they did attack, and Iran joined in the fight then Israel could destroy all of the nuclear installations in Iran including the Bushehr reactor in "self defense."

I could see it happening . . .

Reading the numbers is like reading tea leaves or the tote board at the race track. Pretty imperfect science.

Looking at how people with money move their money is like a lie detector. Might be helpful.

Israel is the most elite force in the middle east. With RPG and tank missile rejecting technology, some of the toughest tanks in the world and a bunker load of nukes, Iran's threat will always remain as "threats"...

Hawkins was right. The future of humanity lies off this planet. If you were born in 2000 and wanted to live to be 100 you will have to find another planet to do it on.

This planet seems vulnerable to a core breech. Those fissures at the bottom of the ocean floor. Not just the gulf.
