And it is pretty evident, IMO, Saudi Arabia is spoiling for a fight with Iran. There is definitely something in the works now regarding Iran. I would be surprised if Saudi Arabia doesn’t play a key role in what happens

They are already having a bad enough time with the Iranian supplied missiles in Yemen, so they are very aware of the range and capabilities of these cheap drones. The Iranians can very easily close the gulf, leaving the oil exporting economies of Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar (Gas) and the UAE in tatters. Saudi would still have some export abilities through the Red Sea, but places like Dubai would become a ghost town overnight. It's not a scenario that has any winners.

Hezbollah is believed to have an arsenal of between 100,000 and 150,000 rockets and missiles, though the vast majority are thought to lack precision technology.https://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-sends-hezbollah-gps-parts-to-turn-rockets-into-precision-missiles-report/ Israeli officials estimate Hezbollah has stockpiled approximately 150,000 missiles, compared to about 15,000 before the 34-day war in 2006 war that killed about 1,200 Lebanese and 165 Israelis.https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/whats-next-for-hezbollah-after-its-syria-adventure/2018/12/11/4818d7e2-fd66-11e8-a17e-162b712e8fc2_story.html?utm_term=.fc062955c6ec The BICOM document said Hezbollah is currently thought to have only a relatively small number of precision missiles, somewhere between 20 and 200. But even this number, combined with its enormous quantity of “dumb” missiles (which Israel estimates at between 100,000 and 150,000), would be capable of doing damage to Israel’s infrastructure.https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/.premium-iran-s-covert-scheme-to-upgrade-hezbollah-s-rocket-arsenal-revealed-1.6978683 There are known rocket stockpiles remaining in Syria—and, clearly, there are larger missiles, as last month’s launch showed—but the world leader in the field is Hezbollah in Lebanon, with an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 rockets of all ranges and payloads aimed at Israel.https://www.thedailybeast.com/to-target-israel-irans-suitcase-gps-kits-turn-hezbollah-rockets-into-guided-missiles That’s because Hezbollah has used the intervening period to fortify one of the world’s most powerful militias, gaining strength through its hold over Lebanese politics, an influx of fighters battle-hardened from Syria’s civil war, and an arsenal that Israel says has been boosted 10-fold to about 150,000 missiles.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-10/israel-faces-a-more-formidable-hezbollah-digging-in-from-lebanon Enjoy the read and hopefully snap out of your denial syndrome.

Would you like to hazard a guess which side and which 'rockets' have killed the most? Again, have you any unbiased legitimate sources? Atleast 4 of your sources are either ran by or have members on the board that are from Israel.
specky4eyes wrote: » I thought you'd accept Usraeli sources as legitimate as they are the ones all the rockets are aimed at. The BBC good enough for you? There have been outbreaks of violence between Israel and Hezbollah across the Israel-Lebanon border, which is heavily fortified. Hezbollah has built up an extensive arsenal since the 2006 conflict, with Israeli intelligence suggesting it possesses up to 150,000 rockets.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-46437629 Your confusing Hamas with Hezbollah I think, HAMAS have DIY rockets, Hezbollah have real rockets/missiles. And thats from https://www.csis.org/

Reality on Earth- its naive to believe all the world leaders are good people and their intentions are always benign. Human beings are different and not everyone sees the world in same way as you do. Wars are a result of us being different. John Bolton is blamed for everything, yet his only a cog in the wheel.

Then, there's Netanyahu and last but not the least those lovely, lovely Saudis! There is no need for all this aggression we have been seeing since Bolton and Pompeo became the defacto government of that dystopia over there. Worryingly, these aggressors don't even have a clue and just negative destroyers and little if anything else. One can compare them to The Handmaid's Tale or Bond villains but I would think that real crowd are far more reckless and incompetent which makes them worse. Looking at the mess that was the Iraq war tells us all we need to know.

I agree there are to let's but that figure is just wrong. Think of the storage, logistics, deployment...... Absolutely silly stuff.

I've yet to see him post anything original here that sounds like it come from his own thinking on the subject and not just parroting the latest pro-US talking points. His posts get tired real quick.

When we are talking about that lot (Bolton, Pompeo, and the other dunces), we are talking about idiotic imbeciles.
