Israel today faces what is beyond a doubt, the most dangerous time since its founding. It faces escalating wars on several fronts and its closest ally, the United States is “slow walking” munitions and support that is desperately needed by the IDF. Additionally, reports state that Iran who as sworn to destroy Israel is only weeks away from creating a nuclear weapon, while Israel is viewed as a “one-bomb” state (meaning that a single nuclear weapon that hits Israel can in effect destroy the state of Israel). Given the very real threats to the nation and unless the current U.S. administration changes course and expedites munitions deliveries to Israel (ala the 1973 Nixon airlift which all but saved Israel), Israel will be forced to examine all military options. Can that include a nuclear first strike?

The linked article outlines options that Israel must review as it faces a time of “total war.”  With the scanty militaries of Western Europe looking at the threat from Russia, the U.S. must move quickly to support Israel. Unfortunately, the current U.S. administration has shown by its actions in Ukraine that it does not understand that a policy of slow support only increases the cost of war.
