Iran attacks UK embassy in Iran
UK expells entire Iranian diplomatic mission
Talks in certain US right wing circles of military action re Iran's nuclear programme

How do you think this is going to be played out?

Once both sides have thrown all their toys out their prams, it will resolve itself in time diplomatically?
Economic sanctions, Tony Blair dons his Superman shirt & flies out to negotiate?
Termination of diplomatic relations?
Iran-Israel war, with Israel being used as a Trojan horse for US military?

We are bound to get sucked in to yet another American war, it's only really a matter of time unfortunately. War makes far too much money move about to resist.

Not to mention the fact that a war with Iran would help Israel avoid international intervention over their human rights violations in Gaza.

Sigh, I really hope they don't go invading again.

Dropping millions/billions into two silly wars that have already been proven to be a huge waste of time.

Good for the profits of the very large 'defence' industry corporations though...

I cant see another war tbh - theres no stomach for it in the US unless they find a way to whip up the masses Iran stylee.

Well for a start they are run by border line mentalists.

Israel is most likely to drop a bomb on it more than any one else, that might set of a regional war and drag in others from further afield.

Well here's...sec...:drink:here's to hoping they don't try and take Iran on, especially with a mindset that "Well iraq went well", 'cause those guys ain't that much of pushovers.

Aye. Israel'll bomb one of it's own towns or summat, point the finger at Iran and we'll all tool straight in at full pelt.

Sooner or later...

They really won't. Israel doesn't really have the land area to play games like that. America won't invade Iran. They may attack Iran, but they won't invade. They can't; they don't have the manpower even if they pulled everyone out of Afghanistan and the last ones in Iraq. No administration is going be able to "do a Rumsfeld" and send troops to invade somewhere the size of Iran with limited resources in the hope it'll be over in a few weeks. Even the American public aren't that stupid.

The only way America can go to war with Iran is if Iran do something monumentally stupid like invade Turkey or the Emirates; even if they do get a nuke, they'll need to improve their ballistic missile technology if they want to hit Israel; right now the Shahab-3 couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo (and the rumour is that Mossad keeps blowing their shit up).

Meh. I'm not sure.

As you said - they're already under attack of various forms. Sanctions are going to be ramped up massively first. Hurt the people and they think it's their own government doing it to 'em...

If it does happen that the Us decides to pop one up Irans arse, what do you think the reprocussions will be? Worst case an all out huge war between nations, or another Iraq newsfeed extravaganza of US bmobing churches and shooting own planes?

If there's one thing to come from all of this, it's we need to keep Trident, let the army. air force, Navy run down, but keep those babies warm and polished.

Yes. What we definitely need to do is keep a load of f00king expensive nuclear weapons that we're never going to use.



Seriously. If someone nuked us, do you think we should nuke them back?

Yes. And kill every man, woman and child in that country. When it comes down to survival, there's no half measures.

SAS storming iranian embassy in london, now in high definition 3D .

(and the rumour is that Mossad keeps blowing their shit up).

they must be really busy then, what with that, and the training sharks to attack people

seriously though, i think its going to be alot of posturing and name calling ending with some (more) sanctions that dont really do much

You're a fool then Chilly.

How would thermonuclear war (and the mass slaughter of millions of people who would never have dreamed of pushing the button) help?

aye there will likely be another war and tbh for once i'd actually back this one, can't say i'd want to see Iran will fully functional nuclear weapons tbh (that is ofcourse if this 'report' is true, we all know what the gov is like with reports after iraq)... that said! if there will be a war Russia will likely get sucked into helping Iran.

It won't be war if they can't fire back. And it won't be war next time because people will know to stay the fuck away.

Is it that good?

It has bugs, it has problems, PC ui is crap(better when you get used to it), but it's immersive and a massive timesink for a solo-game. If you like oblivion style fantasy things.

I could entertain myself with that and some porn(preferably modded and combined) for one nuclear war.

Oh and in case that seems insensitive or whatnot, yes, i've always wanted a post-nuclear world to happen in my days :D

Lol. OK. :)

/shakes head
What? Because diplomacy and globalism are working so well? I'm not advocating wiping them out, I'm advocating wiping them out if they are crazy enough to try it on.

Who's they?

The few politicians and army generals mad enough to do it - or the population, who've no say in the matter?

Also, say we did do it. What does the rest of the world do? Science shows us that that once one human does something then the likelihood of another following suit increases exponentially. The political ramifications would make world war increasingly likely, and since nukes are already being thrown around what's to stop someone else wading in. Like China, for example?


I won't bring up the ongoing environmental issues to go alongside needless life-loss or someone'll jump me...
