Are you factoring in the mood in the U.S.? And of course the political, diplomatic, security and military, academic, legal, media, and other leadership…? The Arab-Muslim jihadist spirit? Egypt and Jordan in the short, medium, and long term? And again, Iran and its proxies?

If so, I’d really be interested in understanding how you see the overall campaign, because it obviously has significance for our priorities in managing our lives here.

*The Iranian plan to strengthen its proxies?

You also forgot to include the alien attacks on Mars, the plans of the elders of the demons and the European Union, and Samael. Oh, and also the social rift, the economic problems, traffic accidents, and infectious diseases.

B. What counts as an imaginary scenario? This is an invitation to get to know the enemy, where we are—and at the very least to leave some questions open.

Even the Simchat Torah scenario seemed imaginary to the entire security establishment (including the prime minister)—despite the warnings. And the warnings of Brick and Mordechai Kedar about a regional war also sounded imaginary, and now less so.
