The US will start the offensive and take the lead...as usual. I see conventional weapons used. The Iranians will probably just fight the US and NOT shoot any missles at Israel to keep it out of the conflict. You cannot attack if you are not attacked. That way US will fight a war while Israeli pilots would sit in their fighter jets and enjoy the fight...as usual. There will be high casualties on both sides as in any conflict and the Iranians will try to hijack and crash as many "predator" drones as possible. War is meaningless..people die for their governments quarrel. Sickening when you think this is the 21st century
I dont agree. Israel is the reason the US is aggressive against Iran in the first place.

That's just plain wrong. You've got the tail wagging the dog there. An Israeli-Iranian alliance is America's worst nightmare. Please think things through before asserting things like that.
Well if you put it that way, things could be very bad for the US. What if the UK joined up in that alliance. That would really suck for the US.

Look, a conflict with Iran will quickly spread to an all out nuclear conflict. Whatever can stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons should be considered. I believe that there is only one way to do this. Iran needs to be shown exactly what a nuke is and can do. It would be better to nuke a city out of the blue and that way,, they can see the destructive power on facebook, see all the vapourised people, being incinerated, the tower blocks being flattened like cardboard boxes. This I feel is the only way and therefore we should launch an immediate nuke with a really powerful warhead on Buenos Aires and blow it into the stratosphere. They are begging for it, they want it and, by God they deserve it and it's only a matter of time before it has to be done as the current, thick aggressive Argie clown isn't going to stop. So let's get it over and done with and show the Iranians what will happen to them if they keep behaving like Argentina.

First Iran would have to forgive the UK for the Mossadegh coup. Honestly, now, do you see that happening?

I think the false flag is the US and EU sanction. The gaol with the sanctions are to force Iran to either attack or do something else, like closing of the strait. So that the US can attack with full support of the EU/UN.

Thank god they haven't, yet. They have shown (to me) tremendous patience with the sanctions. Now, with IAEA saying the meeting went well with Iran, who is the US going to make the boogeyman?edit on 1-2-2012 by superman2012 because: (no reason given)
But now the US and the EU are scheduled to have talks with China about their oil agreements with Iran.
I can see China turning away from Iran, but, I don't believe it because they are selling to China cheap.
Well, this depends on what kind of deal China will get with the US/EU before and after the conflict is over. I dont think China gets their oil that cheap from Iran that its worth the sacrifice of risking a conflict/war.

It depends on what kind of deal was offered I guess. If China is ready to throw Iran under the bus, North Korea, Pakistan, and China's other allies might not like that. IMO.
Edit: I don't think this would cause a war if China refused, I think it would just not help US/EU-China relations.

If China refuses the US ans EU deal, and still wants to buy Iranian oil. Iran can stand firm as they have until the US figures out what China really means with their move.
But Chinese troop movements haven't suggested that they have any future plans of supporting Iran in a conflict. Not if you compare it to what the US have mobilized.
EDIT:
It wouldn't surprise me at all if China actually went a head and financed the US in this war, so that the US would bleed even more financially.
The US war with Iran would probably cost more than the Iraq and Afghan wars put together.
And in the end China gets everything without a fight. Hypothetically.
If China still buys Iranian oil, why would they have to support a conflict in Iran? The US is not prepared to go to war with Iran with the potential for China to enter, along with Russia, India, etc. The US does not need to bleed more financially, if the US were a human, it would only have 1/4 of a liter of blood in its economy.

Man; what if the whole world allied against the US, Now that would really be a night mare for the US.edit on 27.06.08 by spy66 because: (no reason given)
