#18  How about one of the smaller tactical nukes? Not much fallout and prevailing winds blow it all up to the DC-Boston corridor. What's the downside there?

#17  Cold air (fall/winter is on the way) mixing with hot air. Mix in a nuclear fallout and you have an apocalypse at CAT 5 wind power. The left started the nuke talk, falsely claiming Trump said it.

#15  #12 A few nukes into southern Lebanon would calm things down.

Arclights at the very least.

#10  Also, notably, about an hour ago, Bahrain criticized Lebanon for allowing Hezbollah to run loose.
Lord Garth, that's how you know who to shoot.

#9  funded, in part, by Iran with $400 mil in cash provided to Iran by Obummer.

And in larger part by their share of the drugs trade running through Central and South America to customers in the U.S. and Europe, and spreading into Australia.

Thank you for being on top of this for us, 3dc.

Interesting that Israel’s response to 2-3 anti-tank missiles is 100 mortar shells at pre-planned — one assumes — targets in Hezbollah country. It will be interesting to see what the bad guys get up to — or don’t — overnight...

#6  Is Hezbollah one of those plagues of the bible? More likely, it is a terrorist group conceived by the mad mullahs and funded, in part, by Iran with $400 mil in cash provided to Iran by Obummer.

#3  Explain to the Leb PM that we have something more serious than his little country right now.
A near CAT 6 hurricane will erase the close friendly nation of the Bahamas in a few hours and then maybe smash into Cape Canaveral (the actual USA).
It's been interesting knowing them but sorry..
