I can remember how the future of the world looked bright in 1996. The Yugoslav Wars had ended, and everyone was expecting a future of peace in the 21th century.
I can't believe this #. What the PEOPLE of the UK think about it? An attack on Iran? It may start a World War... This is insane...
It wont start a world war, it might just prevent one though.

Dont forget Israel got caught out selling nuclear weapons to south Africa in the cold war, funnily enough, the nice chap who was wrapping up that deal is now leading Israeli government.

so our "Humanitarian aid " aka air strikes and bombings didnt kill any civilians in Libya ?
sure man keep living in that dream world , its considered to the military as collateral damage
they dont really care how many civilians they kill as long as they get the job done.
Rebel / Terrorist , its just a name , the fact is that the UN had already named the libyan "rebels" as terrorists before we invaded Libya
You can check the UN report on an ATS thread here somewhere !

IF there is an attack on Iran and IF the UK is involved there will not be rioting on the streets or a revolution and it wont be the start of WW3 either. Russia and China are not going to fight on the side of Iran and nobody is going to start lobbing nukes around the globe, there is no benefit to Russia or China to Iran having nukes.

This is serious people if the U.K. as well as the U.S. and other allied countries go through with this it will not be pretty. This should finally show people that our governments care nothing for our well being their going to turn this next attack on Iran into human's greatest mistake. Starting another conflict is absolutely ridiculous, especially when most of the countries of the world ain't exactly flourishing with their economies, this is going to be bad. I ain't the religious type, but if there is a god he's about to give humanity's it's greatest atrocity.

Please! You need to keep up with what's going on in the world!
The IAEA report already shows that China is supplying Iran with missiles, etc. And even though they claimed they would never do it, I guaranty you that Russia managed to supply those S-300s to Syria.
So, not to look like they're directly involved, you'll probably see China send North Korea into this mess since China is North Korea's lifeline and stooge and you'll probably see Russia supporting Syria, Lebanon and anyone else that wants to participate willingly. Throw in Venezuela. Chavez has as big of an ego as Ahmadinejad and he'll gladly participate in something like this if he thinks he has China and Russia on his side.

Why would China and Russia not do business with Iran?, they have weapons to sell, Iran wants to buy - it still doesn't equate to Russia and China being happy with a nuclear armed Iran.
Its one thing for China and Russia to supply weapons for small/er countries to fight the West and earn themselves some money. Quite another to get involved directly and end up at MAD - nothing in it for them then. It is quite useful too for them that the West spreads its self around distracted by these small conflicts rather than fixing the economy.
The US trained and sold equipment to Georgia, it didnt compel them to join in when the war broke out with Russia!

Please! Do I need to remind you that all of the countries participating in the U.N. agreed to put sanctions on Iran how long ago???? And yet China and Russia ignored the agreement they voted to uphold.

Why do you keep starting with the word please?
If you have a problem with Russia and China breaking the UN sanction take it up with them or the UN. Plenty of occasions countries break sanctions, thats their right to and nothing to do with me.
My original post you have quoted was in reply to someone stating attacking Iran would lead to world war 3 and rioting on the UK streets - neither of which will happen. Why you feel the need to tell me Russia and China should not be sanction breaking I dont know? I would agree with you on that
Reading this thread is quite funny really, I have a board game I bought back in the early 90's called A Line in the Sand, a political and military game by TSR set in the middle east, and I think too many on here have been overdosing playing it.
