It is easy to Monday morning quarterback this one. The big problem now is that current warheads are significantly larger. They are not the same weapons.

Western and Russian ones certainly, but could Iran make a hydrogen bomb or mount multiple warheads in a ballistic missile? I doubt it.

 

Either nukes are used and we all die, or they are not and we die of pollution instead. We humans don't have a good track record when it comes to making bad choices.

I can’t see the US attacking Iran. They have used so much weaponry going after the Houthi’s, there is now a shortage. They have also had limited effect on the Houthi weapons stored underground, so Iran with their even deeper storage facilities would be really difficult to destroy. No point hitting them if you can’t destroy their weaponry and take out their Nuclear building facilities.

Israel already knocked out some of Irans nuclear facilities and a lot of the air defense it had.

Thanks for the link, I hadn’t read about that success! I did see a video the other day showcasing the amount of weapons that the Iranians had stored underground, it was quite startling. It’s a bit of a concern that they are likely to use these weapons to hit US targets and Israel if they are attacked. I know Israel has been very successful fending off previous Iranian attacks, but there are a lot of weapons in storage.

As China buys 90% of Iranian oil. There is another factor to consider.

Its almost like their was another player, besides Iran, assisting & propping up Syria. A supplier of both military equipment, & soldiers, to Assad. 

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, it was RUSSIA. However given the bro love for Putin, MAGA heads are not permitted to mention that fact.   

 

Yes,  Russia was  helping Assad. However, there was no concern for the people or a motivation  rooted in expanding a religious doctrine. Rather, the goal of Russia was to manipulate oil prices so that it could get as high a price as possible. It wanted the port in Syria so it could meddle in the Mediterranean too. Russia has no love for Iran because Iran is also linked to  violent fundamentalists in the Russian "stan" republics.  Russia and Putin are a threat to world peace, but in a different way than Iran.

Time for your fortnite dose of k again?

 

You sound depressed. 😃

 

No, Israel nuking Iran even with Russia tossing a few duds won't kill everyone. 

 

A global nuclear war would be catastrophic and could kill hundreds of millions (or more), it's highly improbable that it would literally end all human life.

Never mind about reality. Going by the latest fiasco on Yemen, they'll send some missiles, blow up some people and claim a great victory.

Believing one's own propaganda is quite sad really.

Russia aided Syria because of past, soviet alliances & yes, access to a port, but little to do with oil. Syria has oil, not a major player. Maybe Russia has no love for Iran but they’re a top military supplier after China in the Ukraine war. In fact today Iran has military/tech units in Crimea coordinating Russian/Iranian drone tech attacks..

As China gets 90 per cent of Iranian oil. Netty and Trump bellowing hits a reality wall. Not that anyone believes what those two say anyway, but attack Iran?! ----- bellow all you want, Not going to happen.

Israel will obviously be very much involved in that. They’ll be the leader of that. But nobody leads us, but we do what we want to do.

1. Israel will be the leader of an attack

2. No one leads America on an attack

Very confusing.

The remark in respect to oil price was in respect to the region. A country that can influence how many vessels can safely transit the Persian Gulf, Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea can also influence the cost of oil. Short supplies of Gulf Arab sourced oil pushes world price up and then both Iran and Russia then profit because they  get a higher price for its oil.
