"...Are you expecting the SCO to take Iran out???..."
I think the SCO will cooperate with the West and the Russias to allow The USA et al, to take out the threats from Iran and North Korea. For Iran, it's the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, and maybe some others. We've got the firepower and the in-Theatre experience.
The Russias' job is to take out the threat from North Korea, with the SCO cooperation. We could also help with refueling and ordnance. Kyrgyzstan is where the aircraft accident involving a KC-135 happenned a while back.
Israel is freed to attack the Hizbollah and Hamas threats, and hopefully attrit and disarm them enough to render them ineffective for a long time. That one will be the ugliest fight of all, based on the wogs use of human shields, but it has to be done.
The immediate nuclear threat gets resolved for several years. Stopping Saudi money from going to the next bunch of fanatics has to be solved, but at least there'd be some breathing room. This one surprised me! Canada hasn't trained-for, or done that since WW-II, and I know that for a fact! I was trained there! Stay well armed and safe, Thunder90. It's gonna get interesting..................FRegards
I worry that Mark Steyn is correct....we lack the will.
The PLA and Russian armies would also love to test out their ground forces, and North Korea would be an ideal place for them to do it
