I came across the following headline and nearly spontaneously combusted:
US report: Israel would weather nuclear war with Iran
Wait. Correction. It wasn’t the headline that set my teeth ajar. It was the graph below it.
‘Israel would win nuclear war’ – Study compiled by U.S. Center for Strategic and Int’l Studies says nuclear war in region could lead to death of 16-28 million Iranians, 200-800 thousand Israelis. ‘Iran would be completely obliterated,’ researchers say.
Phew! Oh Happy Day and what a relief! They’ll lose more than we will! I feel sooooooo much better knowing that only a fifth of Israel’s population will be incinerated. Compared to millions upon millions of Iranians. Civilians. Women. Children. Obliterated! Mercy me.
WTF? Read the story here. Jeez. Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year, eh?
