10. Maybe the best question isn't "who will stop him?"

Perhaps the better question is “what’s stopping him now?” Or “what has stopped him so far?”

I mean, some republican has already suggested dropping a series of small tactical nukes to open up an alternate channel on the peninsula opposite the strait of Hormuz and Iran’s coastline.

I’m sure Bibi would support the US using nukes against Iran, so why hasn’t he?
