IMHO China would not back anyone in a strike, i also believe Russia will not use them, WW111 will start when Iran have the capability of launching a Nuclear missile into central Israel, they would do it in a heartbeat. You hit on a genuine danger here. Iran, won't launch nuclear at the moment because they don't have the capacity. It's also true that they won't launch at Israel because of the Palestinians. At the end of the day they won't self destruct for someone else. But it's a genuine concern that if they think they are being overthrown they will throw everything they have at their enemies.....Saddam did it at his own last grasp and he didn't even have much.

and so. Its either localised conflicts in Ukraine & Israel ? or we have already passed the Gavril O'Princip moment ? Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand lies dying, and he will not be the last one.

Absolutely, but they think of religion and war, they wouldn't care one iota I think you will find that the leaders of Iran will be a bit less keen to meet their maker than their foot soldiers.

Only the truly dumb kill themselves to kill their enemy. I doubt you get to be in charge by being that stupid.

You impune that i have an intellect as low as your own. My writing above was not 'my thought processes'. But it was written to illustrate the thought processes of historical nutters. A bit like the 9/11 terrorists. Or Queen Boudicca - picking a suicidal fight with somebody bigger than yourself.

The issue was they didn’t know how to fight the battle. Got wiped out and the romans lost less than 1000men. Pedant alert

I have no idea what your intellect is, but I don't think Iran will commit suicide to defeat Israel.

Pedant alert That's a fair point. She might well have fancied her chances given the numbers and been oblivious to the might of Rome. Who knows.

Boudica was fully aware of the might of Rome. And Hamas/Iran are fully aware of the military might of Israel and their american backers. History has loads of suicidal eejits....smarting for a fight. With little appreciation or understanding of the ramifications.

All this virgins in heaven stuff is fed to the grunts by those who would not dream of strapping bombs to themselves. Iran is just an extended version of that... And actually it isn't. Iran effectively has 2 regimes. The one Revolutionary Guard we all associate with that basket case nation who effectively administer repression, beard length etc.; and the other "normal" government responsible for health care and emptying the bins. From recent reports, the balance is shifting away from the former to the latter as is normal in post revolutionary worlds. And as Stirling says, they are not going to nuke their Shiite Palestinian brothers. Nor is Israel going to nuke them. Israel have had that rabid, frothing nutter in charge for heaven knows how long. If they wanted to, they would have. It's M.A.D. insurance for both sides. On which, I would be astonished if the Saudis didn't have the Bomb.
