WWIII - Iran Strike Could Be Imminent

[Ambrocious]

A lot of analysts are saying that if Iran is attacked that it could be the beginning of WWIII. What do you guys think? Is it wise to attack Iran to stop them from making nuclear weapons or is it futile to attack them because it would possibly spark WWIII?

Thus far it has been a trend that if you are able to get a nuke, your actually safe because no one wants to piss you off. North Korea is an example of such a thing, even though the world isn't safer because of it of course.

What should be done in this situation? If you were the Commander and Chief, what would you do?

I'd stay the hell out of it and ignore Iran. Let the citizens of Iran overthrow their government and not worry about them until they actually do something that threatens the US security.

Who ever strike other people first is in the wrong and should pay dearly for it.

Well, if they attack Israel, then we won't be "staying the hell out of it".

I doubt that we (the United States) would attack them just to stop them from making a nuclear weapon. So far, they have not been successful in doing so. If they did develop such a weapon and used it to harm anyone, they would likely be decimated, if not by us, by another nuclear power. That would be a very foolish move on their part and they know it, despite the saber-rattling and rhetoric of the nutcase Achmadeneghad (I'm sure I spelled his name wrong). Being a theocracy, Iran's Ayatollah would really trump anything the nutcase would say or do. One also has to take the bigger picture into account. The civilized world is no longer in a mood for nuclear war. The Global Economy has made all of us financially interdependent, thus, all the "talks" in recent years of disarmnament. The world always has and will always have nutcases like Iran and North Korea. Terrorism remains a much greater threat to the world because it is so insidious. My opinion.

Both of these kind of go hand in hand. It's been proven in the past, to support the movement of an invasion, that a country will engage in false flag terrorism as a pretext to invade a country (attack yourself). Achmadenegeghad may not attack Israel right off the bat but it could be made to look this way as an excuse to just invade Iran.

The nuclear power facility hasn't yet put it's rods in and it is being said that it will be too late to blow up the facilities if the rods are already put in because it could cause another event much like Chernobyl which would be bad for everyone in that area. In a matter of just days the reactor will have the rods inserted and then in a matter of just a few more days, the plant will be turned on.

I hope that they don't strike first of all but it's looking more and more like this may be the start of a huge catastrophe.

Ahmadinejad

Is there some difficulty that people in the US have with finding the correct spelling and pronunciation of this name?

 

[MoltenRock III]

That or you're delusional. The title of this thread is ridiculous as well. None of it's true. Nothing is imminent.

That said, nuclear weapon technology is 70 years old. Just how long do you think you can keep something like this from anyone else?

It doesn't exactly flow off one's tongue in English very fluidly. It's easier in others.

Ughhh I really hate Bush Jr. and Bush Sr. Of the C.I.A. (1979 - Contra Affairs) and Reagan. Now we are stuck with this fucking mess.

"He Tried to Kill My DADDY!!!"

Fucking alcoholic redneck thinks because someone had an issue with your father, you think its ok to bring your PERSONAL fucking drama and lie to the public to get them on your side by scaring them with racial fears and fear nuclear weapons. And if you're angry your father had his own personal issue, that makes it ok to give the green light to drop bombs on thousands of people and destroy families while they huddle in a building crying in fear. I could testify all day long but I'm not.

 

[bambam]

More likely that Israel will try targeted strikes to temporarily cripple Iran's nuclear program. They have the most to lose should Iran develop nuclear weapons. Here's an interesting (but a tad alarmist) recent article on the subject if you're interested.

Thanks. I couldn't have said it better. You are 100 percent accurate.


And in answer to this thread, I believe the people of Iran don't have a problem with us, their problem is with Ahmadinejadammit. Leave the attacking alone or let Iran and Israel fight it out without us. We can't afford another war.

Israel has '8 days' to hit Iran nuclear site: Bolton - Yahoo! News

Israel Has Until Week's End to Strike Iran Nuclear Facility, Bolton Says - FOX News

Israel has ‘eight days’ to hit Iran nuclear site - Dawn.com

Bolton Renews Call for Israel to Bomb Iran - Infowars.com

“Once that uranium, once those fuel rods are very close to the reactor, certainly once they’re in the reactor, attacking it means a release of radiation, no question about it,” the AFP reports Bolton as saying today. “So if Israel is going to do anything against Bushehr it has to move in the next eight days.” John Bolton

One other thing, I am not specifically against Iran getting nukes as I said in my first post for one reason: If they do get nukes, they will be left alone for the most part, nobody wants to piss them off once they have the bomb. I am anti-war and so I really hope Israel doesn't strike Iran because it could be the spark that starts WWIII.

I agree with you there 100 percent. Just when will enough be enough for those idiots who only think about killing someone. If they only were to walk the streets where the wars are taking place and see the bloodshed, they might think twice before demanding these wars expand.

You are a liar on this. You can post as many silly links as you want about one idiot claiming Israel has only 8 days left to attack Iran, that has been parroted across the wingnut echo chamber. BFD.

In your opening post you said, "a lot of analysts are saying". No, it's one, insane, whack job, running his mouth who isn't an "analyst" at all.

Johnboy Bolton, a Bush asshat is not "saying" that at all! He's actively encouraging and wanting Israel to attack Iran. But then he walks it back like all hate mongers on the right with:

However, the sharp-tongued former diplomat (John Bolton) noted that Israel was unlikely going to act, chiefly because there are numerous other nuclear sites that would also need to be attacked. Israel would have to hit them all at once, since launching multiple attacks over the course of several days or weeks would be far more difficult.

Iran has already warned that any such attack by Israel would be met with the swiftest response.

"In that case we will lose a power plant, but Israel's existence will be in danger," Iran's defense minister Ahmad Vahidi is quoted as saying by the state-run Mehr news agency.

So if Israel attacks Iran and their site/s, and Iran does have nukes, Israel will be vaporized, and as well they should for an unprovoked attack.

Um.. nothing. There is no situation. There is no WWIII.

It's another delusion that you've bought into.

I suppose I shouldn't argue with fools in denial. Perfect pearls before swine scenario here.

WRONG! Again. I challenge you on the basis of logic and fact, and off you run into the sunset. And if this claptrap is what you consider "pearls" you don't understand the difference from pearls and cultured pearls.

How many countries outside of North America have you spent time in may I ask? Have you spent any time in the middle east region at all?

If I was Commander and Chief -- I'd get the facts. Who are the "analysts" advocating this nonsense. Where do they work? Who are they suggesting is going to attack Iran -- USA, Israel, other? When will the attack happen?
