#15  Great preventatives.

With all of the tank hubs in the Med, I can easily imagine a hijacked hull attack.

#12  Sounds like the only way to ensure the pier works and no American casualties is to let Israel clear out Hamas then.

#11  Re #7: I'm sure Hamas has missiles with a range > 5 miles. Make it 10 or 20 or so.
And put a bunch of Patriot missile sites, or other AA assets around the pier. With a DDG or CG sitting off the coast.

#8  Yeah, it will get blown up a couple three times while it is being built, but eventually the forthcoming Trump resort/government complex on the Med will need a pier. And yes, of course, we will blame the Juice.

#7  Then better make it absolutely clear to only way to guarantee safety is to clear out every inhabitant within 5 miles, set up fortifications, and clear at least three major roadways.

I don't see any outlets talking about the folly of it all either.

#6  #5 Think again.

#5  Ref #2: Of course Trump will be blamed. They are rushing to get it operational prior to his taking office.

Just another trip wire for the Orange Man.

#2  I know who's going to be blamed and how it will be used when the inevitable happens.

#1  Bad idea yesterday, will remain a bad idea in the coming weeks.
