I believe that Iran would not be so bold without their Russian backers. Russia and China are lurking in the background....very scary.

This is all falling into Bible prophesy. The Bible predicted this thousands of years ago when people didn't understand what God was talking about or who Russia, China, and Iran were. They will attack, and without the USA's help, God is going to show who He is and that He is the ALMIGHTY GOD by turning them into fleeing cowards! Are you saved and serving God?

I agree with you, but does anyone have a good feel of how the Russians or Chinese would really react if action was taken against Iran? In other words, they may have there calculation of "backing" Iran calibrated to a certain tolerance. For example, they might say, we'll go to the mat for you in the diplomatic arena, but once the shooting starts, they are outta there. I don't have a sense of just how strong the Russian or Chinese commitments really are. After all, they're primarily financial, not strategic or based on treaties and so on.

The Russians and the Chicoms won't do dick...at least militarily.

I think Iran is just bluffing anyhow, to try to undermine our economy.

I mean, are there any more inflammatory words that Iran could say?
