1. Egyptians cross Suez, defeat initial Israeli counter attacks, inflict serious casualties then declare they (and Syrians) are willing to negotiate for peace settlement
2. Egyptians don't leave SAM umbrella late in war but prefer to sit tight despite Syrians getting hammered. Israel counter attacks but despite some success lines generally hold and IDF doesn't cross Suez and encircle Egyptian 3. army
3. IDF fails to cross Suez or crossing is defeated/contained. Again no encirclement.
I don't think such actions would make Israel whip out their nukes as their existence is not threatened. No. 2, providing Soviet supplies of SAMs are enough to keep them on sufficient level probably means IDF can't break through SAM/AT front meaning Egypt can claim military as well as political victory. How does this affect Camp David? Can Egypt demand (and get) more. If Syria is part of peace agreement that likely butterflies away LCW.
thoughts?
