Can we bring China and North Korea into it too? Nah you are in the wrong topic, this is not about Ukraine and Russia.

The title is Iran Potentially Triggers World War 3 - note, World War.  A conflict purely in the Middle East would not be a World War.  Putin is involved with Iran, is making threats regarding the current situation and is at war himself.

I think most people agree that Iran is a pretty bad regime, but that doesn't mean we can do whatever the hell we like to people we don't like and don't agree with. If we all followed international law, this wouldn't have happened in the first place - because Israel wouldn't exist.

"I think most people agree that Iran is a pretty bad regime"

 

'Pretty bad'? That's a massive understatement. I think you need to do a bit more research on the Iranian regime my friend. 

 

"If we all followed international law, this wouldn't have happened in the first place - because Israel wouldn't exist."

 

Please explain why Israel wouldn't exist if international law was followed.

You seem to think it will all go one way, but reality says that for every regime member assassinated, expect a few of your own to be targeted. That sort of thing is why civilised countries don't go around blowing up other countries consulates.

Civilised? This is the Middle East we're talking about here...

Yep, Iran, not Russia or Ukraine, or China, Taiwan, North Korea, turkey, NATO.

Because it was against the League of Nations charter & Mandate system to partition the land in the first place.

Which part of World War are you having difficulty with?

 

The conflict in the Middle East, if it was only the Middle East, would be unlikely to trigger a World War. Parties are getting involved that are already involved in other conflicts and what is going on between Iran (and its proxies) and Israel is very likely to affect the outcome of the Ukraine/Russia war as funds are clearly being diverted/reserved.

The bit where you and your mate are only discussing Ukraine, Russia, Putin and Zelensky in the war over there. It got f all to do with what’s going on Between Hamas, Iran and Israel, a different war with its own numerous topics. Please don’t derail this one

Just as the war in Gaza is considered as a war with Iran through its Proxy, Hamas. The war in Ukraine is seen as a proxy war between Russia and the US.  Putin is now chipping in, warning the US and is a known supporter of Iran.

 

All these things are interlinked and intertwined - either in full view or behind the scenes.

I repeat......The title is Iran Potentially Triggers World War 3.

 

The fact that you have difficulty understanding what that means and the implications of it does not make it off topic.

Your essay post was the Ukraine Russian war, stop being dishonest. Anyway your mate has gone now so you’ve got nobody left to speak to about other wars. 

[Yellowtail]

I think we have Obama and Biden to thank for this, yes?

Live in your own world buddy. Of course the war with Japan had nothing to do with WW2 according to your narrow mind.

If we were in a WW2 topic I would discuss that if I was interested in it. But I notice you have resorted to personal attacks now. Didn’t take long.

For all the terrorist activity they are behind, all the trouble they are stirring up across the ME, and the despicable way they treat their own citizens, the Iranian regime deserve zero protection IMO, no matter where they are. 

This is the core problem, when both sides have the same rhetoric and wish the same uppon their counterpart. 

 

You know Usa is seen as the big satan in some parts of the world. Brits the same,

Cheap fox rhetoric. 

 

Who started the war on terror? Who turn the bak to Iraq after the war against Iran, Who bombed Iran 12 years continously after the first dessert war? 

 

Who supported and trained Taliban? 

 

Seriously, Oboma? Biden?

Absolutely right! I just don't see how someone can misunderstand the meaning of World War. WW2 in the narrow view could be initially be seen as a war between the UK and Germany.  We all know that it was far more than that, in terms of how it developed and in simmering tensions in other areas beforehand.

 

Putin seems determined to get involved this time and as usual, is on the 'wrong side'.  A discussion regarding his war in Ukraine and his expansionist desires is totally relevant and not only because of the proxy war between the US and Russia - some people just can't see it.

From what I've read the League of Nations approved the mandate for a Jewish state in the early 1920s, and when the League of Nations was dissolved in 1946 that mandate rolled over to the UN.

Back on topic then:

 

Watch IDF Chief of the General Staff LTG Herzi Halevi thank 🇺🇸 @CENTCOM , 🇬🇧Armed forces, 🇫🇷 Armed Forces and other partners for their participation in Operation Iron Shield and address the Iranian attack:

Shouldn't you be glued to CNN? 

 

Who removed sanctions? 

Who removed proxies from terrorist watch list? 

Who provided the funding? 

Who provided the drone technology?

What personal attack?  You do appear to be living in your own world.  As Hummin so eloquently put it, you fail to see the bigger picture. That is blinkered....AKA your own world.

How do you think Israel will react to this failed attempt by Iran. Ask Putin first though

Pointless discussing a potential World War with someone who thinks its only about the conflict between Israel and Iran.

I thought the world war would depend on how Israel responds to this? Discuss. Zelensky may have some input on this too.
