It's been a few years, but my recollection is that the Stuxnet attack on Iran's nuclear facility was a joint U.S.-Israeli project. I suspect that's why Iran and others are terrified of Trump becoming President again.


Not just that, but President Trump had the Iranians on the brink of financial collapse.

Agreed. Not to mention how they were able to get explosives in so many pagers and radios en route to Hezbollah. That’s even more baffling.
Hats off to their intelligence agency. Absolutely genius.

I heard that operation was something like a 15 year investment. Incredible.

One of the recurring criticisms I’ve heard for decades about US HUMINT intelligence operations is that no one ever wants to support anything for a long haul. It’s always mentioned that the Soviets, and now probably the Russians and Chinese, were willing to plan and hope for successes years in advance.

Whether that’s absolutely true, I don’t know of course, and we hear about only the failures, not intelligence successes, but I suspect it is.

Well, she may have been worried that a smart bomb was on its way to her, which wouldn't have been a bad thing either.

Good job Israel, shows what a bit of Intell and a lot of commitment can do to the enemy.

Nice to see Israel taking the lead. Sad to see we weren't part of it after the Houthis attacked 3 US destroyers on Friday.

There hasn’t been a time since December 1941 that our many enemies were more justified in believing that we were absolutely incapable of defending ourselves against aggression of every type.

But don’t forget that if we took action against the Houthis, that would just embroil us in yet another of the “endless” wars that so many whine about, so perhaps it’s best if we just roll over to expose our soft bellies and then everyone will finally leave us alone. That has worked for so many other nations over the centuries, so how could it fail now? Roll Eyes

Thanks again to SigFreund for recommending the book.

The least I could do for introducing me to Gabriel Allon.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=dan...r-data-refreshed_2_9

As I read the series I am struck by what a good job the author, Daniel Silva, does at making fiction resemble what I have learned about real life from books like Rise and Kill First, or at least what conceivably could be real.


Daniel Silva's early books featuring Gabriel Allon were really good. The last one I read was very leftist, anti religion oriented. I will never read another one of his books.

Edited to add that the name of the book was "The Order". Silva is also good friends with Paul Krugman the "acclaimed" New York Times economist.


Silva's bools have moved away from current events and Israel to a very different story line, and at the end of his latest book, in the authors "Thank You's" he fully admits to being a lefty.

I used to know him well enough to be a bit more than acquaintances (along with his wife), I have nothing to do with him anymore

Israel has called up more reserves, and more families will be without fathers, sons, daughters, and family members for the Jewish Holidays (starting this week).

It's very hard inside Israel right now, and the amount of inner strength is as equally incredible as what is being seen from the outside

There is no choice
