'Ground invasion of Iran would make Iraq look pretty'

Russia has issued a clear warning to Israel over a possible attack on Iran. The Foreign Minister was responding to the Israeli president's suggestion that a military strike on Iran is more likely than diplomacy. Sergey Lavrov said any such attack would be a serious mistake with unpredictable consequences. The UN nuclear watchdog is about to report on Iran's nuclear activities where it's thought it will reveal computer models of an atomic warhead and other weapons-related work. Israel's main ally, the U.S., says it will focus on diplomacy but is ready to keep all options open. Political analyst Ivan Eland says Washington is unlikely to support Israel's push for an attack.

We don’t need to spend trillions of dollars and waste hundreds of thousands of lives to secure a FINITE resource that will be exhausted in the next 20 years. Peak oil has come and gone it’s time to find a new source of energy, but alas this is America land of the corporation…

[growupandgrowapair]

I think it’s funny that Obama and Hilldawg are starting to back down after all the posturing and drum beating over the last few months, just because Russia and China sided with Iran. Granted that if the US and Russia/China ever went to war we would be back in the Stone Age in 30 minutes. I think all this talk about Iran is BS. Just let them have their bomb while we remove all our forces from the region and let the Middle East rot.

@BENNYSIEGEL90 In the run USA and UK will win the battle they have better technology and military then Russia plus the pound sterling is the best currency in the world and USA and UK are allies with Canada, Saudi Arabi and many ohers and they have ALOT more oil then any other.

[BENNYSIEGEL90]

@haykier11

Oh yeah. What will UK and USA do? Bomb Russia or cut of ties? In that case prepare the oil price to sky rocket 200 dollars a barrel moron. All this because of a vicious little jewish state that hates american and british gentiles with a passion anyway.

@haykier11 the russians don,t know what they,re doing, they think it will be ww2 against the fascists, but they,re wrong.

[haykier11]

I don't no why Russia are getting involved if Russia are threatening Israel their also threatening the USA and UK which isn't the best idea in the world.
