Worst part is, a few aerial raids by the US could cripple Iran's missile capabilities and take the wind out of their sail, but thats not going to happen because people can't get it through their thick skulls that just because the shitstorm is halfway around the world doesn't mean we'll escape without any consequences. Nope, the rest of the world will sit around with their thumbs up their asses and do nothing untill the situation explodes into a full blown cluster fuck.

I think people underestimate Israel a bit too much lol, they won't need our help if they decide to take on Iran. Tbh I think the only reason Israel hasn't done anything (besides killing off their scientists and blowing up their facilities) is because we're asking them not too, but that will only go so far before Israel just says fuck it.

Except thats exactly the worst possible scenerio I was talking about. As much as most of the middle east hates America, they hate Israel a thousand times more. If Israel launches a full scale attack against Iran it will enrage the Islamic community all across the middle east and they'll use it as an excuse to justify attacking Israel. The entire middle east will erupt into war over night.

But if that happens other countries are more likely to step in and help Israel. Israel attacking Iran could be justified for them, as they are neighboring countries, it isn't for us as we're on the opposite side of the world, is what typical Americans probably think. But Israel is an ally, if they get attacked we would almost have to step in, simply to save face.

LOL @Simply to save face

[Slush]

Just the way it goes, people get pissed at us when we do shit, then they get pissed at us if we do nothing. Faggots around the world.

[WuxingBagua]

Don't count on it. The American unwavering support for Israel isn't something shared by everybody else. The support of European allies will be as an obligation as a part of NATO. It'll be chocked up to "there's another stupid conflict we've been dragged into by the Americans".

And before you flame me for that, please be aware that support for Taliban in Afghanistan is growing, to the extent that a fair amount of the British army expect the country to revert to Taliban rule fairly soon after the troops up and leave, so the last ten years was for what exactly? And don't talk to a British person about Iraq. We're still pissed that our then-PM gave the nod to Bush without consulting his own government/people first.
Oh, and is the world a safer place thanks to the actions of the last decade? Just look at the pantomime and theatre at airports. The homeland security. The everybody-wanting-to-watch-everything online and in reality. If I book a flight to the US, part of the data share agreements lets feds rummage around my bank history to see if I'm a supporter of terrorist regimes as defined by America, etc. Yeah, this feels like a much safer world.

The news last night quoted America basically saying it has run out of plausible options for helping the Syrians. Gee, took you guys less to invade Iraq. Or was that oil rather than humanitarian reasons acting as the motivation? There's nothing for America in Syria so America isn't really interested? [plus the Israelis really don't much like the Syrians [it's mutual]]


Sure, Slush, we around the world might be faggots. It might help, however, to take your country's foreign policy, add two and two together, and see what you end up with.
