    Meh, some lads over on the ct forum knew it was "definately" going to happen within days about 2 years ago.

    I support this war of terror...

    It'll be a longer haul than Iraq, because the Iranians haven't been stripped of all of their weapons.

    Yeah, let's give nuclear weapons to a tyrant whose declared aim is the annihilation of, firstly, Israel, and then the West. Great plan.

    A nation which had pledged to fight to the last man, costing millions of Allied lives. A nation which was releasing bubonic plague-infected fleas, a nation which cut babies from pregnant women during the rape of Nanking.

    Only mistake the USA has made is in not using nukes to quell these despots, instead of sacrificing thousands of young American lives.

    Let's see, despotic totalitarian regimes like Iran or the USA?:rolleyes: I know who I'm choosing.


    Troll Post.

    So Iran isn't allowed to have nukes but Israel is? I thought there was a treaty stopping the spread of these weapons, some states have given them up at least, Ukraine & South Africa for example ;)

    Will this conflict get the support of Russia & China, or will the west go it alone, what about the EU? :confused:

    Doubt if the population of any of the nations involved will get any real say in all of this, what about the cost? Do people want their taxes spent on more wars & the aftermath?

    Seems to me that governments take their orders from anyone but their own people!!!!!:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache


    I wonder how the Russians and the Chinese will react...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    Isrealis gunning for preemptive strikes...well go ahead lads, you have the bomb and large well trained experienced armed forces, youre local, directly involved, well able for it...off yiz go.

    The Middle east is in enough trouble, the last thing we need is a unpredictable country with a evil regime in control of highly dangerous Weapons.

    If iran completes it's goal of having a Nuclear arsenal this will only create a middle east arms race spreading all over the middle east. Country after country having control of all sorts of Nuclear weapon's and other highly offensive weapons.

    Fear and panic will then spread worldwide, countries near the middle east will also build up and other's will then join to make sure they can compete with their "next door neighbours".

    It will all end with a worldwide mass build up of nuclear weapons and worldwide relations will then decrease to rock bottom.

    Soon other corrupt countries will then sell nuke's to important members of the population, they will create their own group's to bring other countries to their knees.

    There will then come a time where the world enter's the mother of all war's continent's will fight and fall. Then billions will die from nuclear fallout.

    Then the world will become a uninhabitable place for human's and creatures and any other living thing in ever born on this planet. Who knows what happen's next? .......

    Best post I've read in a long time

    Israel does not have nuclear weapons

    It has ballistic missiles which has a capability to CARRY nuclear bombs inside.

    But israel does not contain actual Nuclear bombs

    The Russians defeated Nazi Germany in World War Two. They had 12 million military personel killed, the US had 407,000. The German military suffered over 75% of their losses on the Eastern front.

    Sources? The annihalation of Israel quote has been accepted by all but the most hawkish as a deliberate mistranslation.

    Whats bubonic plague compared to a couple of atom bombs.

    The British Ministry of Defence is stepping up its contingency plans for a potential military strike against Iran as concerns grow over the Middle Eastern power’s nuclear programme, sources claim.

    Reports last night that the UK was prepared to support the United States in any military action against Tehran came as Israel started testing ballistic missiles, raising fears of conflict within the region.

    The US is believed to have told the MoD that it may decide to accelerate its plans for targeted missile strikes against key Iranian facilities.

    British officials are thought to have told Washington that if it pushes ahead it will receive UK military help for any mission, despite some reservations within the coalition.

    Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi promises 'brutal response' to any attack on Islamic Republic, tells US to 'think twice before putting themselves on collision course with Tehran.

    Yesterday it was revealed that Tel Aviv had successfully test-fired a rocket capable of carrying a nuclear warhead which could strike Iran.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak are reportedly agitating for a pre-emptive attack against the Islamic state.

    If israel does have nuclear weapons

    The UN Nuclear watchdog would of found out a long time ago, Israel does not need nuke's it has the largest air force in the region.

    There has been no confirmation israel contains Nuclear weapons, it's basically illegal not to tell the UN.

    Anyway i'd trust israel any day over Iran.

    Its the British and the Israelis with their French developed Nuclear weapons (against the nuclear non proliferation treaty pact) that are stoking it up more than the Americans.

    Odd, considering the terrible goings on in Syria (a regieme Israel is quite content to see continue on in power and in Bahrain (an ally of Britain and of the US)
