Only slightly off topic:
If your interested how and why historic moments often go unnoticed, check in to following link during the next 24/48 hours:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... atest.htmlThere's an inside chance this Israeli/Hezbollah land war will erupt into something
of far greater scope.
Israeli leaders feel precipitating this current crisis, (I know, I know, what crisis?)
at this time, is the last window of opportunity to bomb Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
The Russians, as you may or may not be aware, promised Iran delivery of their
latest S-400 anti aircraft missiles. Once Iran has S-300 and S-400 missiles in place,
IAF losses would be greater. Hezbollah needs to be neutralized prior to Israel launching 'tactical' nuclear bunker busters on Iran's enrichment facilities.
Hezbollah, like Israel and Iran have been preparing for this show-down for years.
For Putin and Russia this is a win win. Iran can't hit US but it certainly can
knock out Saudi shipping for the better part of a year with just a few submarine launched missiles that manage to get through.
Should Iran's oil distribution choke points be compromised, Saudi Arabia,
will be next.
So far oil markets are reacting like most reader's here: Crisis? What Crisis?
