so i just read this, and im a little worried about a possible World War 3

 

i hope it will not come as far as an actual World War 3, as i think this war will be fought with nukes and whatnot,causing millions, if not tens of millions of deaths

 

discuss your thoughts on this and the possible consequenses

[Pirate_Felix]

Righto, if this happens im going to iceland.

[Wavemasta]

I´m joining you.

 

Sounds like a bad idea

 

Let´s see, worst case scenario..

Iran finds out about possible attacks. So they think, we have to build stuff to defend ourselves, maybe even nuclear weapons (because let´s be honest, those clouds are awesome). America finds out about this, and feels threatened. 'Hey, they are building stuff when they found out about our plans, maybe they want to attack us. Let's go there and prevent them from doing that'. Etc, etc, etc.

 

Why can't we all be nice?

OLD NEWS. :thumbdown:

Is it really surprising that America has contingency plans for offensive action against one of the most dangerous nations in the world? If they had to respond quickly to a new Iranian threat it wouldn't be much good them cobbling together a military plan at the last minute.

 

They'll have these kind of contingency plans for military action in a surprising amount of countries, of course they don't admit to having them because it wouldn't be good for diplomatic relations but they've got them and so does every other main country. It's pretty standard procedure.

[Amaranth_GTO]

Yeah it's not a big surprise we have those plans.

 

Besides, if the US was to attack Iran, I doubt it would escalate into World War 3. I can't think of any countries that would come in and defend Iran

Ah! Contingency. Exactly the word I was going to look for.

 

I find it funny that a lot of you are freaked out by governments being prepared, but willingly talk about how you'll kick someone's ass if they provoke you. I thought that The Guardian was considered a bad source of news in Europe?

[Sam]

I'd imagine Iran's military has exactly the same plan regarding the US.

[Dizzle229]

We have plans for pretty much any conceivable threat. This is just one of them.

[Pirate_Felix]

We need an emergency TIF iceland hut.

 

For when this happens.

[Giordano]

We got a plan for an Icelandic invasion too. :ohnoes:

That's what I'm thinking. A huge mansion, with several jacuzzis. Or one huge jacuzzi.

I'm sure USA has had contigency plans in place for a possible war with Iran for most of the 31 years since Ayatollah Khomeini got into power, that is called forward planning. Not that it'll matter too much, I'm pretty sure Israel would attack Iran before USA decided to do so. The geographic closeness makes Israel extremely wary of Iran, especially considering some statements that come out of Iran in regards to Israel.

 

Not that an attack on Iran would trigger a "World War 3" scenario anyway.

[Dizzle229]

I think Russia pledged support to Iran in the event of a US invasion, but don't take my word for it. And you know Russia is a threat, since their leader is a vampire.

[Guy]

This doesn't really surprise me. Iran is a terror state, if I was in the US military, I would defiantly have plans to attack them if need be. Who can tell what havoc the Taliban would wreak if they got hold of a nuclear missile.

[Sam]

But the scenario for which an invasion to be mounted would doubtlessly involve other countries, god knows how many more if nukes were involved.

Russia and China both flipped the bird to Iran last year. North Korea probably mumbled something about it, but they're next on the list of nations everyone hates and would willingly beat up.

 

Why does everyone think nuclear weapons are everyone's answer to everything? Iran would be attacked in a last-ditch effort to ensure that nukes aren't used. Iran would probably be more willing to destroy Israel than anyone else, and all that White-Non-Jew guilt would rage into the Middle East if that happened.

 

Of course, when the smoke cleared, there might be a new lake where Pyongyang used to be.

Will it be open to the Americans on the forums? :lol:

[Skull]

How much would a fully equipped fallout shelter cost? I'd guess somewhere in the vicinity of 10-20 million dollars or more depending on how big it is and stuff.

[Guest Mrmegakirby]

So, just to be certain, we're all moving over to iceland when this happens?

[ElkNight]

Why is this stickied?

[Dax]

My question.

 

I don't like wars involving teh USA. It always makes me feel like Australia's gonna go to, 'cause that sounds like something we'd do.

[Vulxai]

Iran's been on our list for quite a while.

I think this pretty much sums up my feeling. Of course the US has strategic plans of attack on certain countires, perhaps you could say it would be irresponsible if they didn't, this doesn't mean though that the plans will come into play.

 

EDIT -

I thought that The Guardian was considered a bad source of news in Europe?

Well personally the guardian would be my first choice of newspaper and I would expect that reliability is something it is highly regarded for, example of this being that the US afghan files were leaked to the guardian from wikileaks, my guess being because to the respect for the newspaper.

Pretty much every country has some sort of plan in place in case they need to attack any other country.

 

BREAKING NEWS: Sources reveal that the US Army Command had planned and trained for the possibility of a Russian attack on American soil during the height of the cold war.
