i'm kinda surprised there is not more posts containing speculation as to where this event is heading on the board. Given the global situation, this is as close we've been (at least publicly) to the brink since the Cuban Missile Crisis or the 73' ME war. With all the resources we have at hand with the internet and the level of intelligence of the Freepers . . .
its heading where it should head. Its time to confront and destroy our enemies. Its only going to get worse if it comes later.
Well, my $.02 is that this will encompass most of Asia Minor and Asia proper. The IDF has already said they'll be employing ground forces across the border. That was part of the reason behind the leaflet drop the other day, to get civilians out of there. Syria's already said they'll come to the aide of Hezbollah and Lebanon against Israel, plus they're still housing the leader of Hammas, who's holding a soldier hostage.
Israel has already performed a supersonic, low-altitude fly-by of the Syrian president's summer home. Once it becomes inevitable that Israel will hit Syria, they'll likely use the WMD's that I believe Russia moved from Iraq to the Bekaa Valley. Once that happens, watch the Jericho missiles fly. We'll get involved since Iranian ground forces have to go through Iraq to get to Israel.
North Korea could get involved since they have a deep military relationship with Tehran, and someone pointed out the other day that from Pyongyang to Sacramento is 5600mi, but from Pyongyang to Israel is a hair over 4900mi.
Whether or not that happens, I think both China and Russia could get involved, too, because of their respective dealings with Iran, and their desires for regional influence.
I don't have enough knowledge to speculate...but, I am very interested in those that do..
I enjoy each post that does..thanks for the reminder.
I will state an opinion...and that is that Israel better not back down now...and this should continue until they get Hezbollah out of Lebanon...their soldiers back..
Hamas is another story..you tell me.
