This is an interesting tidbit. I wonder why not only the US but the Brits want to keep Israel protected? HMMMMMMMMM. Why is it that they want to quash the fact the Israel has nuclear capabilities? Is it because they do not want other Middle East nations to create their own atomic weapons in fear of an all out ME nuclear war with the probability of Israel being destroyed? If Israel goes, the whole Middle East goes. Hopefully we do not see that, but I have a bad feeling.
I guess you are only allowed to have nukes if you are an ally of the US and the EU. Otherwise you are seen as a potential "threat" to the rest of the world. Funny how that works.
