In an interview with Nima Alkhorshid posted on March 23, MIT physicist and nuclear weapons expert Ted Postol outlined an alarming potential scenario leading to a nuclear exchange. When Alkorshid asked him about the missiles that struck Demona and Arad, Postol said, “I think the air defense doesn’t exist. I mean, it’s a fiction. It’s been a fiction from the beginning. They’re talking about running out of interceptors, which I think is true, but the interceptors weren’t doing a very good job to begin with.” Postal said that neither of the two missiles headed for Dimona or Arad had been intercepted, and they were the only two missiles. It wasn’t two missiles out of ten, which means the Israelis fully failed to stop the strikes.
Postol continues to identify the problem as being that Israel is led by “messianic lunatics” and that we have “a sociopath in charge of the American government,” who may also “be showing signs of dementia.”
