Also, I am so sick of people saying we have not won the war in Iraq. We squashed the Iraqi government and military in record time.
We also wiped out the Taliban ran Government in Afghanistan very quickly. Something no one else seemed to be able to do.
We are fighting with one had tied behind are back in Iraq now. That is the problem.

Ok so the update is that Georgia actually has 2000 troops in iraq they want to get out and bring home to fight. They have requested to the pentagon that the US help airlift these troops from Iraq and bring them back to Georgia. The pentagon has NOT issued an evac yet of the 130 troops in Georgia right now on a training exercise.
The pentagon is keeping a close eye and preparing possible evacs though.

This last part is what scares me. What happens if those troops happen to die due to Russian fire? Is that the excuse to finally attack Russia? A bold and extremely stupid move if it does come to that.
I just think that everyone wants to hate and blame the USA but so many want to live here. (Not saying you do). Would you prefer if China was the great world power? They wouldn't even allow ATS.

i'm pretty sure many people here realize what a huge deal this event is. Here's some reasons why we should be worried. It's been widely known that Russia has been selling weapons to Iran. Here's an article from 2006 www.cfr.org...
Anyway with the US and Israel on the border of war with Iran one should mention if Russia will take Iran's side. With this new conflict with a US supported country being invaded and Russia giving aid to Iran to kill troops in Iraq it could be a catalyst for the USA to attack Iran and therefore giving a clear reason for the US to stop and confront the Russians. It doesn't have to be militarily but I believe the US will be involved in someway.
