#1 On Thursday, Kochavi, speaking at the opening session of the Herzliya Conference's closing day, spoke of the growing threats Israel was facing: "a more hostile, more Islamic, more sensitive Middle East, one more attune to public sentiment, less controlled by the regimes, and less susceptible to international influence."

It's that Arab Spring thingy. If you thought Mubarak, Qadaffy and Assad were bad, wait till you meet their replacements.

#2 I wonder how big a seismic shock would be needed to prematurely detonate a missile warhead that is stored underground? Would have to happen at night, wouldn't want to blow up all the schools that those shining example of humanity hid them beneath. They would have to explain the hospitals.

#3 As per HUGO CHAVEZ, unfortunately futurist LAND, ISLAND-SINKING "EARTHQUAKE/SEISMIC/TECTONIC"
BOMBS would be mostly non-discriminatory = non-selective in the casualties caused, espec in relation to Air-based EMP Weapons.

DEDICATED EQ BOMBS MAY NOT HAVE THE DETERRENT EFFECT AGZ USAGE THAT NUCWEAPS HISTORICALLY HAVE, + will destroy both the Military + Econ value of its Target + peripheral Region(s), as it places the costs burden of recovery + rebuilding on an Enemy.

Undoubtedly, many World countries includ Nuclear Powers will deem such NT + Weaps Sys as inherently "destabilizing", which in trun infers that any country employing such will mainly do so COVERTLY, ee as A PDENIABLE, MILPOL OPERATION-OTHER-THAN-WAR [OOTW].

E.g. D *** NG IT, IT WAS ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CATEGORICALLY UNDENIABLY .... A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE NUCPLANT OR MIL, NUKE DEPOT "ACCIDENT" AR RANDOM, NOT A WILY DASTARDLY EQ BOMB(S) DELIBERAT PLANTED BY FOREIGN SPECOPS!
