Have no fear Russia will defend Iran at the drop of a hat. They have binding agreements to do so. As for China chiming in, well they also have similar
agreements with Iran and are positioned to cut off the straights of Hormuz if necessary.
Should the blockade occur, expect Russia to move on Israel as Israel has threatened to take out the oil line into the Caspian sea. Nothing like a
little insurance policy to keep the line open.
If Russia goes against Israel, they will hit it from two directions, the Med and across Turkey. The US is not so much favored in Turkey anymore since
accusing them of genocide. Hitting Israel from two sides would require the US to fight on two fronts. Through the straights and in the Med. Though we
are already in Iraq, that is little consolation due to the location of a two pronged attack by Russia. All that is left is for Iran to chime in and
your forces are on three to four fronts battle footing.
The next point is China would not have committed it forces at this point and the US would be in a world of hurt in an indefensible position. So being
opportunistic, China tosses in its army. For the US to have a chance of victory would require the 24 min solution. With an exchange between China, the
US and Russia. At this point put your head between your legs and kiss your arse good bye. The EU is left unopposed as the world leader.
Peace in the Middle East, yep at least for awhile but sooner or later they will start fighting again. Think it won't happen, just wait, film at 11.
When, near future but not necessarily today or tomorrow. More likely before 2015 and I do not mean 2012.
Militarily the Middle East is a giant crap sandwich and the US has already taken a big bite. We have pledged to protect Israel form the Arabs, OK, but
that doesn't give the right to do an unprovoked attack on another country (Iraq) or future (Iran).
Granted, given the chance Iran would wipe Israel off the map (not going to happen). However, they know that they can not do it alone. Though they are
looking for any excuse to jump. Russia has a major problem with Israel and really not sure why. Russia has made plans for attacking Israel and Iran
can hardly wait. So it is really only a matter of time before the hat drops. Will the straights be the linch pin? We will just have to wait and see.
