Iran is not a fucking barbaric country. The majority voted for the wrong leader however. Sounds a bit familiar.

If Iran is counting on logic and reason to save their asses, we're all screwed.

Like China and Russia would go to war with America and its allies for Iran.
But I do think we shouldn't go to war with them. Iran is all talk and to attack them first would be a great way to use a nuke and claim it was in defense. They wouldn't dare use one otherwise.
Tamanon said:In that case, what you're saying is that if China gets involved, then the entire world will be destroyed, because there's no way anyone will get away with nuking China
What I'm saying is that if Vietnam and the Korean War didn't bring China in formally against us and the Bay of Pigs didn't cause a World War, there is ZERO chance of China and Russia fighting against us.
This war would be insignificant compared to its Cold War counterparts and while it would be terrible I think you're all worrying about the consequences a little too much.

A country that has to Photoshop missile launches is now a major threat to the United States. Think about this for a split second.
We've been involved in wars with nuclear capable nations in the past with no nukes being used. Hell, we're still the only country ever to use one. I mean look at the proxy war in Afghanistan against the Soviets back in the day. That's what this would amount to, a proxy war in Iran.
Tamanon said:
That's not what people in this thread were saying though. WWIII could never be a proxy war and it's been mentioned several times already as a possibility.
I don't read proxy war from that. Not to mention that this isn't the Cold War anymore and if you think a proxy war could be fought in the same way that they were in the cold war then I think you are mistaken.
That's like comparing Iran to Haiti.

For one, we won't be at war with China nor Russia. It will be the same cold war proxy conflict that happened before. No shots officially fired, no nations officially shooting at one another. If you think its going to be something else you've been play videogames for far too long... or something.
Phoenix said:
Well I don't believe that a proxy war can be carried out like they were under the cold war because we are no longer in the cold war.
Regardless of that there are people posting shit about WW3 and the draft and preemptive nuclear strikes. While I believe none of those outcomes, none of them are indicators of a proxy war.

Didn't OPEC, last week, promise 'unlimited' oil prices if anyone was stupid enough to attack Iran?
There are always consequences, it could further cripple our economy.
I hiiiiiiighly doubt there'll be a war against Iran, but there is a very slim possibility.
If the US and Israel declared war on Iran though, you can more or less get ready to bare witness to one of the bloodiest none-world wars in modern times. It wouldn't be a guerrilla war, it'd be a war of standing armies - that means infantry and tanks.
However it's hard to imagine everyone involved not to quickly replace infantry with powerful missiles and bombs, who knows maybe even a nucl...

Yup as long as we didn't put boots on the ground it would be great. You forget we have assets in Iraq and Afganistan. The question for you is would these troops be able to make it there, or would we be able to bomb them all. Look at the size of Iran and military size. Look at what happened in the first gulf war with the highway of death.

They will react harshly towards this move. Russians have gave them some neat toys over the years too

China definitely won't go to war with us over Iran. That's even crazier than the idea of attacking Iran.
First off, China only cares about securing energy supplies for themselves. That's why they have no problem supporting places like Sudan. But the reason they want to secure energy supplies is so they can continue expanding their capacity to sell the US crap.
China has stalled efforts to isolate Iran because the staus quo benefits them greatly. They want the world to continue to try to isolate Iran so that China can increasingly become the only outlet for them.
But you shouldn't take that to read as China joining Iran in a war against the US.
China will do what's in their best interests economically, and that does not include getting into an armed conflict with the US. That would cause huge economic strife all around, and that in itself could potentially topple the Chinese government from within.

Letting Iran get a nuclear weapon is far crazier.
