If iran were to attack Isreal, there is probably a 75-90% chance we got WW3

It's preaty obvious that China iran and russsia are getting preaty close.

If iran attacks Isreal, USA and Western Europe(EU realy) are in within days, you can bet your ass russia will protect its oil intrrests and its ally Iran....in which case and invasion of Eastern Europe would occure probably.

The 150k us troops in the Gulf would have to retreat, we would probably loose alot of men. Iran would be aided by Syria, and Turkey(has a thing for the Kurds)

And if it got real bad, China might respect there allies with attacks in the Pacific. They would also sieze the oppourtunity to take Tiwan and Hong Kong by force. At that point Japan and the Us would step in there.

Now wild cards. Pakistan-india, COuld be involved, if india interfears with China thing...the Pakistan is in and visa-versa. The other wild card is a war in Korea from Kim jong

In any case i think the Isreal Iran thing will cause a firestorm of conflict...and i think at this point its to late to stop it.

Now im not an expert this is just what i think would happen based on past trends and current events so feel free to show me why im wrong.

I really like to know where Iran ... or even Pakistan for that matter can count on Chinese troops for just about anything.

Jeezus! I'd say they're inside the wire and we are being over-run.

Colonel, we need to shoot the FPF targets.
