#1 "He promised us, on the beard of the Prophet, that the nukes are just for Zionist entity." replies Europe.

#2 The same Europe that is driving out the Jews again. I don't seem to recall that population conducting terrorists acts to cow the local citizenry.

#3 The massive defense cuts proposed by Netanyahu's pet commission suggests that he doesn't really think the Iranian deal compromises Israeli security all that much.

#4 No it just says that Iran cannot be dealt with by conventional military means, Zhang.

#5 Perhaps the money will be used in another IDF 'pocket' from which to draw.

Perhaps for a new undertaking of some form or function.

#6 From Ynet:

The opening shot of the battle for the defense budget

Analysis: In the battle over early retirement in the IDF, both sides are pulling no punches; the IDF says the Locker report will discriminate against female officers and scare off intelligence and cyber officers, while members of the committee return fire: 'They hid information from usâ.

The key paragraphs, it seems to me, are:

Under these circumstances, it is safe to assume the report as it is written will not be implemented. But its general ideas will keep hovering over the political arena, where the defense budget is decided on by the regular trio - the prime minister, the defense minister and the finance minister.

Netanyahu will listen to everyone's claims, agree with everyone, and then make them square it out with each other. He has the time. The 11th hour can also arrive in December, much like almost every defense budget in the past. And besides, how can Netanyahu convince Congress that the region, after the signing of the agreement with Iran, is descending into chaos, if he's cutting a third of the army's manpower?

#7 The battle for Israel's defense budget begins in in Unitarian Washington, + in lessor Brussels.

As for EUROPE = EU, methinks their present failure to come up wid a common plan agz MilTerr infiltration, etc. is more the danger at present than new Obama BFF/BFRF OWG Co-Superpower Iran.

* IIRC BLOOMBERG, TOPIX > EU NATIONS FAILING IN PLANNING TO SPREAD 40,000 MIGRANTS ACROSS EUROPE.

MIGRANT-STRESSED, FAVORITE ILLEGAL ENTRY-POINT = BANKRUPT GREECE can't handle everything, OR CAN IT???

VERSUS

* BIGNEWSNETWORK [Repost = Old]> [Washington Times] IRAN'S EXPANDED POWER IS LOOMING AS LEGACY OF OBAMA'S MILITARY EXIT FROM IRAQ.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Independent.UK] ROBERT FISK: THERE IS NO GUARANTEE "CIVILIZATION" WILL TRIUMPH OVER ISIS. THE WEST LIKES TO THINK THAT "CIVILIZATION" WILL DEFEAT ISIS, BUT HISTORY SUGESTS OTHERWISE.

Again, iff the US = US-Allies/West fail to defeat or destroy the ISIS/ISIL, be prepared to see the rise of a ISLAMIC MAHDI/MESSIAH/HIDDEN IMAM 2030-2050, I.E. AN "ISLAMIC/MUSLIM NAPOLEON".

* SAME > [The Nation] ITS NOT A NUCLEAR-ARMED IRAN THAT ISRAEL AND SAUDI ARABIA REALLY FEAR, ITS THAT THE VIENNA AGREEMENT [P5+1-Iran Nuke Deal] OPENS THE DOOR FOR THE US AND IRAN TO DEVELOP IMPORTANT FINANCIAL AND TRADE TIES.

IOW, ISRAEL + KSA, ETAL.? FEAR BEING SUPPLANTED IN US EYES BY FUTURE "US-STYLE", "US-PAR", OWG CO-SUPERPOWER RISING IRAN [China? Russia?].

I'd like to remind GUAM-CNMI + PACIFIC ISLES = PEARL HARBOR BATTLESHIP USS OKLAHOMA = "GUAM WILL CAPSIZE", BUT THATS IN EAST ASIA-PACIFIC AS PER 1960'S-1970'S GUAM TAOTAMONAS + MAINLY CHINA-VS-USA, NOT IRAN AND THE MUSLIM ME [dats another story].
