Come on, you understand Bayes no worse than me. No conclusive proof is plausible here, but had you dodged the question, it'd be a weird, stubborn, idiosyncratic failure of communication, which begs for explanation.

Yes I do literally think that at least a few feds will genuinely be scrupulous enough to maintain the kayfabe on an “anonymous” account, and if there is a place for such feds to poast, it'd be here.

Just to remove any doubt that you are actually able to respond.

Do you personally think that Israel has nukes, Amadan?

I of course realize this, which precisely is why Dean staunchly adhering to “not confirm nor deny” party line is amusing. He is well within his rights to post whatever so long as it's compliant with the forum's rules, but I do not consider him entitled to others cooperating in the maintenance of plausible deniability – either regarding Israeli nukes or regarding his likely reasons to dance around the issue.

Or is there some rule against that? Don't hit me with “doxxing” please.

Or is there an American law that private citizens must aid Israel and the USG in this charade? That'd be news to me, though it makes sense.

Which is even funnier because I have acknowledged/addressed/raised Israeli nuclear weapons in the past

Have you? I don't remember that, might have missed it. Well, let's put it like this. I think your… tendency to act in a way that is isomorphic to avoidance of acknowledgement of the issue is a choice. You're not so autistic as to not understand implications of your words, or the substance of the pushback, and you have chosen again to invite this tangent in the discussion – which really had nothing to do with Israel – by doubling down on meta-level sophistry.

Israel has nukes. One can argue that there are actors who might be interested in nuking them for any number of reasons, including their possession of nuclear weapons, but nobody would plausibly nuke them for an attempt to nuclearize, since that milestone had been passed decades ago and ICBMs can only travel in space (near-Earth space at that), not backwards in time. If you say you had previously acknowledged their nuclear weapons, you could easily have stated that again and precluded the useless tangent. So either you enjoy going on Talmudic tangents to flex this pedantic muscle to the detriment of the quality of discussion, or you have no control over your autistic tendencies, or you actually think this adds worth to the discussion (in which case you're wrong), or you are actually a state employee subject to these restrictions which you interpret in this same Talmudic manner (perhaps you believe you're only barred from saying that you acknowledge Israeli nukes in the present). In any case, this is tiresome behavior.

The fact is simply that Israel has nuclear weapons, everyone knows this, and to observe that it is funny to get an actual state employee or contractor prove his identity in this manner does not constitute an ad hominem. I'll grant the condescension.

someone who is actually in a position to know the real answer to

Oh no, not you too, man.

Shit, is every «free» Western communication platform of note actually ran by glowies? I never took that hypothesis seriously. Well, one more rivet.

This might be the funniest interaction on this forum in years. I knew you're working for the state, but I didn't expect you to flat out participate in the Israeli nuclear kayfabe, and with such poise too. You can't spell out “yes, Israel physically has nuclear weapons already, which is not germane to the logic of my argument”.

Man, what a perverse empire you guys have built. Very shiny surface, but there are a few of these rivets holding everything together, that are impossible to stop thinking about once you notice them.

I retract the above in light of Dean confirming that like any sane person he is reasonably certain Israel has nukes and was just acting cluelessly for no valid reason.

From your own article:

Venezuela’s air defense systems and combat aircraft were largely non-operational before recent U.S. strikes, according to multiple sources familiar with the condition of the country’s military equipment, citing long-standing maintenance failures and a shortage of spare parts linked to Russia’s unmet support obligations.

The situation was described as more severe for Venezuela’s long-range air defense assets. The S-300V systems deployed by the country were said to have been in a non-combat-ready state for more than a year, with no meaningful restoration work completed. The systems reportedly lacked functional components and could not be returned to service without external technical support.

As regards Buks, they were just parked in the same spot for months, were likely unmanned, and thus destroying them was a trivial matter.

Venezuela had no combat-ready military. It's all a LARP.

If you look closely, this may have demonstrated the insecurity of Chinese SCS holdings in a broader war scenario to air assault

Not really because Venezuela did not have air defenses deployed. This is a very typical US/Israeli war, fireworks are basically extraneous to the mission.

To be fair to Americans, has been a long time in the making. Maduro is illegitimate under any reasonable standard, has expressed clear intention to annex sovereign territory, and is incapable of governing. It's a justified war, in casual terms. Doesn't mean it's worth it, except likely for Venezuelans.

It also increases the likelihood of a Chinese attack on Taiwan as American asserts are entangled in multiple theaters.

It increases the likelihood of Chinese Century. They do not need to attack Taiwan. If this is what the Taiwanese security guarantor is doing, do you think Taiwan has much confidence in its security, especially as China is quickly moving towards total dominance in the South China Sea?

On the other hand, it is a massive loss of face for Xi because just hours ago Chinese special envoy had met Maduro in Miraflores, which is currently being bombed. Maybe it's 4D chess and Xinnie the Pooh will die of stroke from the sheer indignation? I think it won't be so convenient though.
