The fact is Israel`s nuclear monopoly is coming to an end, so it is going to have to undertake the extremely costly business of maintaining a second strike capability to implement the doctrine of MAD. Which Israel cannot afford in the long term.
The fact is since the end of the second world war the entire planet has been under the threat of being wiped off the the face of the map by nuclear weapons. Israeli ones included.
It is the threat which is the deterrent. The threat to Israel is that the Iranian threat will cause those with second passports to leave, that is the real threat to Israel. Not Iran achieving parity with Israel, it is the fear of Iran having parity with Israel. |
