So you think that Russia and China would intervene on the behalf of
the
Iranian lunatics? I don't think they'd dare.

Would you bet your life?

Yes.

I wouldn't.

It's pretty obvious that the current US government isn't prepared to bet
yours.

The Russians and Chinese would kick up a big fuss if the U.S
attacks Iran but they wouldn't use military means to stop the U.S. That
would be WW3.

Exactly.

Saddam always was a menace, he invaded people and threw poison gas about.

Iran has never done anything more than the US has done in the past, indeed
they've been very careful never to excede what the US has done in the past.

After a nuclear attack on Iran Russia and China would almost certainly start
a campaign to marginalise the US internationally, and they'd get a lot of
support. I don't know if you noticed but the US isn't that popular at the
moment.

Ports all over the world would close to US shipping, attacks on US
embassies and tourists and US owned industrial plants. Along with
international boycots of US products plus China would dump all those
dollars.

World War III or a huge US depression...

Your choice...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
