I think Israel (and, unlike GP, also Iran) are too small-time to start real global war. They're more the potential Bosnias or Serbias - small, belligerent countries that could drag their patrons into conflict.
- nerpderp83 8y agoIsrael has "the bomb", they definitely could start a global war.
- raprp 8y agoAccording to Colin Powell they have 200 of them. More than enough to bring the Fallout series to life.
- foobarian 8y agoWhat series of bombings might start a global war? I doubt bombing Iran would be enough.
- caf 8y agoThe nuclear bombing of Iran by a state would almost certainly be enough to precipitate the complete collapse of the NPT, which is already wobbly (the latest Review Conference ended in acrimony). Subsequent nuclear weapons projects in erstwhile NPT NNWS could easily trigger a few regional wars, and from there the escalation to a global conflict is certainly possible.
