And when it does, it will be the fault of the United States for antagonizing them.

By trying to strangle their economy and constantly threatening to bomb the bejeezus out of them for a nuclear weapons program that apparently doesn't exist, maybe?
Or maybe it's just 60-odd years of sticking our nose in their business, overthrowing their elected leaders, helping their enemies (Iraq) kill hundreds of thousands of them?

The most important aspect of any sustained combat is Logistics, and in that regard Russia and China fail miserably. Both nations simply would be unable to supply their forces if deployed far from home. In addition both would struggle to project their forces anywhere far from home.

Huckabee on Iran: 'you will see the gates of Hell' --Iran dominates Republican presidential debate in conservative South Carolina 11 Jan 2008 The wide-open and unpredictable Republican presidential race moved to religiously conservative South Carolina last night with a debate dominated by Iran and Ronald Reagan... Asked whether the American commanders on the scene were right in not attacking the Iranian boats, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said he backed their decisions, before warning Iran: "Be prepared, first, to put your sights on the American vessel. And then be prepared that the next thing you see will be the gates of Hell, because that is exactly what you will see after that."

I'm glad you said, "Maybe". If I were the President of Iran and I'd been accused of having a nuke program when I didn't, I'd go ahead and start one just to piss off the US!
And remember when they overran our Embassy??? I can see why the US backed Iraq in that war.

HAHAHAAH, you realize you are delusional? I understand that you are patriotic, but only thing needed is Russia and China against USA. They would win easy even without nuclear weapons.
The fact is, that US superiority is just an illusion. Yes, usa is powerful, but no match for China and Russia. If you go and watch talking in defense forums and other military forums, where they talk strategy, everyone agrees except few Americans. LOL

[Ah, but do we ever bother to ask ourselves why they overran our embassy?
Hint: it might have had something to with the fact that they were in the process of overthrowing a brutal dictatorship we had supported for more than 25 years, since we threw out their popularly elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddeq because his policies threatened our oil companies' profits.
What comes around, goes around.
