Reply to: Iran & WW3

Although some of the above is true, the Shah left Iran in Jan 1979, the Russians didn't even invade Afghanistan until December 1979 (Christmas Eve, the sneaky buggers) so you are way out there.

Thanks for that. That's what happens why I rely on memory for a quick post. I will do a lookup when I have time but off the cuff again... I seem to remember the Russians in Afghanistan prior to the "1979 Invasion".

If you know some history of Iran you might understand.
In WW2 Persia was a neutral county but was occupied by the UK because the UK needed oil.
After WW2 BP stayed in Persia and controlled the 100% of the oil.
In 1953 the elected prime minister Mossadegh nationalized the Anglo Iraninan Oil Company (PB) and because of that he was removed from power by a coup d'état setup by the UK and CIA.
Shah Reza was put in power by the UK and US.
The Shah was kept in power by the brutal secret police Savak.
Savak was run by the CIA and was manned by members of Mossad (Israeli secret police).
The US and UK fearful of Russian influence financed the Mujahidin who pushed out the Russian from Afghanistan.
After Afghanistan the Mujahidin turned on overthrowing the Sha against the wishes of the US.
After the Iranian revolution Mujahidin were deposed by the Mullahs.
The US and UK then sponsored the war with Iraq attacking Iran.
5,000,000 Iranian were killed in the war by Iraq and the US.

Do you still wonder why Iran acts like they do today?

Which straw broke the camel's back or is it just a temp ban? Admin?

Dunno, I'm just enjoying the peace and tranquillity.

Iran has nothing that the west needs. They're just an annoying wasp that will be swatted when we have nothing else to worry about.

They rattle their sabre to appease their mullahs who think they can be a major voice on the worlds stage. Truth be known, they're piss-ants, a mere trifle. They know it and the rest of the world knows it.

Iran does just enough to appease the rest of the world to prevent itself being turned into glass.

They're nothing more than a bothersome neighbour.

However I'd cheerfully nuke Pakistan.

Yeah, but we'd never go to war just because a country has oil, would we.

And we're hardly likely to do it because they're Islamic.

[TheFaQQer]

Apart from the third highest amount of oil reserves of any country in the world.

and do you really think they would use such a weapon?. Iran nukes Israel, Iran get nuked, so what has been achieved? I don`t see a huge problem personally with other less desirable countries obtaining nukes, unless of course we don`t trust ourselves to treat other nations fairly at the negotiations table. SOoner or later it will happen, every nation they believe have the right to defend themselves with the same technology everyone else has. Doesn`t the USA use nuclear technology in non-nuclear weapons (depleted uranium tips or whatever) ?

Give everyone a nuke and say "listen kiddies, we all have our weapons, if we use them we destroy the world, lets make this a better place instead".

[OwlHoot]

When Iran sends a nuclear missile to Israel then beings WW3.

There are typos, and spelling mistakes, and then there are anagrams.
