As horrible as the bombing is, I don’t see it as a trigger for nuclear war.

It will create a strategic opportunity for other nations, Russia in particular, to capitalize on Americas moral failure, and act with impunity where they wish, but who is going to come to Iran’s aid? North Korea?

the ME countries, along with other countries, will condemn this in the strongest way, rightfully so, but I'll wager a years' worth of my pension that there is a sigh of relief from these same countries, especially the ME countries, that Iran's nuclear weapons program has been destroyed for now.

But the world isn’t going to be a happy place for a decade or more as global alliances are shifting very fast.
