#1 I am sure the families of Lebanon and Turkey feel much safer now knowing they have this memo from the UN with which they can use to protect themselves.

Why the UN hadn't offered to protect them with memos before the bullets started flying and killed their family members is anyone's guess. But I am sure they are all sleeping better knowing those memos are now posted and keeping them safe from harm.

#2 I like Spanky Moon better, or just "Spanky" for short.

Technically speaking, Russia's Boyz = Motherly Airborne, etc. can go anywhere in the Region, including but not limited to Iran proper.

#4 Iran and Russia have a mutual defense treaty. Any attack on Iran is considered an attack on Russia. I guess this is their way of saying they mean it.

#5 What good will ground troops do, if the attack on Iran comes entirely from the air? Do they plan to join Iran in attacking Israel?

#6 To actually take out many of the facilities, they would probably need ground troops. Air strikes would set the project back a year or two, but that is about it.
