Imagine, for a moment, that the Iranian government announces it has developed a nuclear bomb and threatens to use it on Israel. The United States reacts with the threat of military intervention, as it did in 1991 and 2003 in Iraq. Iran signals that it will not tolerate a third Gulf war and looks for allies. American forces mass to enter Iran, which orders national mobilisation. Russia, China and North Korea express their support for Iran, and Washington expands its intervention force, bringing in a British contingent. Russia enters the game, raising the stakes in the expectation that the West will back down. A nuclear standoff follows, but with tense and itchy fingers on both sides, as leaders gamble on the risk of not striking first, it all ends in disaster. The Third World War begins with an exchange of nuclear fire, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Or picture this: Chinese frustration over the status of Taiwan prompts a build-up of invasion forces. The United States is preoccupied with its own domestic political crisis. Japan anxiously watches the exchange of harsh words between China and Taiwan, wondering whether to intervene. The United Nations condemns Chinese actions, and China repudiates the censure and orders invasion, confident that a quick victory will prevent others from intervening, as Hitler hoped when he invaded Poland in 1939. The United States now activates contingency plans to save Taiwan, and each side uses tactical nuclear weapons against the other’s armed forces. North Korea and Russia side with China. There is no general nuclear strike, but Russia warns Europe to keep out, dividing American strategy between the two theatres, as it was in the Second World War. The conflict continues to escalate.
Now let’s...

Who cares how many Russian submarines armed with nuclear weapons are parked off the coast of the US?
We are invincible! Gaia is on our side! 🤡

Israel has missiles on submarines. Iran couldn’t take those out on a first strike
Thanks yo obama

Good catch!
“Luckily their delivery system is limited to the Toyota Hilux.”
Apreciate your humor. But Iran has cruise missiles such as Kh-55, an air-launched nuclear-capable weapon with a range of up to 1,860 miles. An advanced anti-ship missile, the Khalid Farzh, with an approximate range of 186 miles, is capable of carrying a 1.1-tonne warhead.
They are the largest customer of chem and bio weapons China has and China is the largest seller of those in the world. Iran also has a direct line to Russia who has already outfitted North Korea to where they can target the left coast of the US and all over the Pacific. If you saw Castaway, you know FEDEX delivers all over.

Russia and China are fully capable of taking out satellites, which would cripple entire countries and industries.

Actually they have 12 nuclear subs... And the west knows where all of them are... Those would obviously all be eliminated immediately in coordination with an air and land based missile assault.
NATO has strategic nukes in place that can hit all of it’s enemies in less then a minute... By the time they realize they are under attack... It will be much too late for them to mount any response.
There two reasons why MAD has worked... The number one reason... Russia and China haven’t got a chance. The second reason... The west has been benevolent... If they decided not to be benevolent, Russia and China would be obliterated in very short order.
“ Then a full occupation by troops from NATO for decades to come, with the introduction of Democratic values and a peaceful existence should transpire much like it did in Germany and Japan.”
Bush the younger showed the folly of that. Muslims will simply wage guerrilla warfare while their women procreate.
The only solution is utter and complete destruction, then walk away with the promise of double if they make another peep.
This solution is actually in line with “the prophet’s” way of thinking…if they win it’s Allah’s will. If they lose it’s only because it was NOT the will of Allah.
The only way to “win” is to absolutely crush them.
Quite the bloodthirsty nuclear warmonger, aren’t ya?
Amen 🙏🏻!

I don’t want a war in the Homeland but at least it would wake up the complacent sheeple.
Those who didn't get incinerated or radiation poisoned to death.
I hardly see how, being as WWIII began in 1945.
True or not that we are on the verge of WW3, thanks to Biden we are no longer energy independent and our strategic petroleum reserve is depleted.. Biden has also declared war on farmers threatening even our very foos supply in a crisis.
If at all, certainly prefer something less than nuclear.
Military economy of force dictates that a US and allied attack on Iran would first wreck its nuclear program and most potent forces from the air, with naval attacks directed at its sea ports. Then the destruction of regime control assets and economic targets would bring Iran's government to its knees.
That would provide an opening for Iran's deeper identity as Persia to assert itself and for the populace to oust their Islamist rulers. That would avert WW III, with Russia and China losing their primary regional ally and Shia terrorism its major funder.
Oh, what a feeling
[Who is orchestrating all this?]
Ultimately, the god of this world, working through the godless goats, I’d say.
[Yet we are led by morons]
Indeed we are. And yes, other countries are too.
An increasingly-godless society (around the world) keeps supporting same. To the logical conclusion.
