Putin Threatens To NUKE Israel! (Jimmy Dore)

During a recent TV appearance, Col. Douglas Macgregor's suggested that Russia has likely delivered a jarring ultimatum to Israel, warning that if Israel uses nuclear weapons against Iran, Russia will retaliate in kind. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger examine Israel's "Samson Option,” which threatens massive nuclear retaliation if the state faces existential destruction, and note that Israel possesses an estimated 90-200 nuclear warheads with a full triad delivery system.

Jimmy contrasts Iran's restrained warfare, which deliberately targets military infrastructure while avoiding civilian casualties, with Israeli leaders like Netanyahu who explicitly invoke biblical genocide against "Amalek." He warns that the U.S. is being dragged into a war it cannot win, and that if Trump follows through on threats to bomb Iranian power plants, Iran will destroy Gulf energy infrastructure, triggering a global economic depression worse than the 1930s.



It's unlikely that Putin has made a nuclear threat against the Israelis, but he might have told them that Iran has Russia's full support, and this is because the neocons have targeted his country through Ukraine. He might have also hinted that China also supports Iran, and that they'll send more missiles. If Putin put up a threat to nuke Israel (if Israel nukes Iran) he'd be targeted for assassination, in all likelihood. Putin would be more subtle in how he talks to the Israelis.
