25. If you swap Iran for Pakistan and Hezbollah for the Taliban, we're much closer to the scenario
Edited on Thu Apr-09-09 10:22 PM by Turborama
you paint in post # 17 and in the last paragraph in the post above.

Pakistan already has nukes and they are undergoing what could easily be described as a civil war against fanatics in the Taliban who would detonate a nuke if they could get one.

I have a feeling that this is less about a nuclear winter affecting the world and more about what might happen to Israel IF Iran ended up with a nuclear arsenal?

The hypothetical Iran scenario is not immediately possible, the Pakistan one is.
