Apparently anything anti-Israel is off topic folks, hail Zionism

Having subs gives Israel the power to nuke the US. Then they can blame it on Iran. It also makes it easier to smuggle terrorists and spies into the US.

Considering not too long ago (50 years) the Germans wiped out half of the Jewish population on the planet. I would say at least another 50 years.
However being a normal person with a brain I don’t really think you can put a cash amount on such an atrocity. But hey that’s just me.edit on 3-5-2012 by CountDrac because: (no reason given)edit on 3/5/12 by masqua because: Removed Off Topic comment

I really, really want one of those subs. Israel does not need any more "defensive" capabilities. Ask the survivors of the USS Liberty.

I can see the Arab states becoming one huge sea of glass, radioactive glass, with Israelis only being able to travel by air if they want to get out of the country,even the Israely shore line glowing in the dark, to keep seaborne attacks
at bay.

So essentially you think the weapons should be used simply because Israel has these weapons and it would be a waste not to use them? That seems like backwards thinking. Using weapons should be the last resort, not the thing you press and kill thousands of people simply because it is getting old and it is better to use it than throw it away. A submarine capable of being armed with nuclear warheads isn't your fridge.

In case you hadn’t noticed the Muslim world is stuck in the 21 century. While israel has the fifth most powerful army in the world.
Give the Muslims a hundred years and they might be able to do something. Meanwhile they are too busy oppressing and killing their own people in the Middle East….

My point is that if you do purchase weapons of mass destruction (or any other product), and the raison d'etre of the transaction remains (Iran's threat to Israeli security, in this case), then not exploiting said weapons and mitigating your response deems the whole bargain wasteful, and indeed it shouldn't have been conducted in the first place. If Israel is to engage in Cold War with Iran, it shouldn't wait for an inter-Iranian revolution which might never occur, but capitalize its resources for the sake of Iran's evaporation; since Israel has achieved the measures, the only logical conclusion is that they should be used.

During the 1980's, Russia had 40,000 nuclear weapons. Does this means that the Russians should have use them, instead of letting them sit there and rust?
