Just more Israeli sabre rattling and its minions following along, I see this as a lame attempt in trying to divert attention from the on going Palestenian issue at the UN. Palestine was voted in by Unesco and did cause some serious knicker twisting in the Israeli and US camp.

When was the last time Iran invaded a country or sent it forces for military action overseas ??? Infact it has been attacked both by Israel and Iraq in recent history if anyone is in need of defense is in reality Iran from Israel and not vice versa.

As rightly said by Meir Dagan, retired head of the Mossad it would be stupid to attack Iran and personally I find it idiotic that they already have a situation right at home with the palestenian issue that they want to go start messing with Iran aswell.

Israel wont attack because they know Obama can't afford another war for re-election reasons and the US literally can't afford another one. The other mionion. the UK won't say how high until the US says jump.

And this is from personal experience, Iranians might not like their goverment but when someone messes with Iran then its on ! So at the very least its not going to go down without a well fought fight. The western and Arab backed Saddam fought Iran for almost a decade with nothing to show for it.

Thanks to the Mail, I've now seen my first two axle, wheeled tank.

Where is this tank you speak of?

Check out the pictures in the article, you'll see the "tanks".

Ah I didn't read the caption, this is starting to make me believe most reporters are morons.

Most reporters are morons. Nil checking on anything remotely technical is the norm.

Israel attack Iran??

Yeah good luck with that!

On your own mofos. If Canada jumps in, fuck it, I'm not supporting this war.

No way.

The US could barely subdue Iraq's 20 million people. Iran has 70 million, and a real army.

[SprCForr]

Sounds like no change. More of the same old "Iranian victim" "Israeli agressor" "US imperialism" "Palestinian righteousness" "Arab/Persian manipulation" "Evil zionist" "Islamist vs Crusader" crap.

Pick your favourite flavour.

What if it were the other way around?

Don't be too impressed with the Iranian military, it doesn't even get anywhere close to "near peer" status with anything in the West.

It's not the other way round. Iran hasn't attacked anyone. In fact, Iran has never been aggressive towards Israel. Iran was not part of the 6 day war or the conflict of 1948.

If Israel is crazy enough to attack the only country in the ME which hasn't actually attacked it, good fucking luck.

Not my problem. If Israel can handle Iran themselves let them duke it out. But please for the love of whichever god you pray to, no Canadian taxpayer dollars for these shenanigans.

Sure they have. Who do you think is behind the Iraq insurgency? Who do you think is responsible for rocket attacks at the Green Zone? Iran has been attacking the US in Iraq for going on 10 years.

I can't believe people are still naive enough to believe that Iran is as pure as the driven snow in this day and age. Especially with everything that's come to light since '01.

There is very little proof of this. This may or may not be the case, also Iran is very clannish like Iraq, and different clans and groups, support different entities. To attack Iran, is to rally people behind its leaders.

This is an expensive venture. If Israel wants to bomb them, good luck to them. If Iran retaliates, or doesn't, it doesn't matter, I just don't want Canada to spend money there.

Those are not tanks. They're either Glocks or AK-47 assault weapons.

I'm tired of us preaching peace, but being the main ones constantly attacking. When will this shit end?

We talk about peace, but Nato and or the US have engaged in quite a few conflicts, this is getting tiresome. China will continue to sit back and get rich while we enter expensive wars, for what? Who the fuck knows anymore?

If Israel wants to bomb Iran...go right ahead. But Canada...should stay out of this one.

[Lemmy]

Very little has been PUBLISHED about this. That's different from there being very little proof. Check out what Michael Ware has to say about Iran's role in Iraq.

So Iran are the good guys? Come on Sock. This is a nasty facist theocracy that has been funding proxy wars against the West for years. Who do you think is sending rockets to Hamas? IED parts to the Taliban?
