That part of the world is so screwed up its crazy. This will get far worse before it gets better

[Tripper]

That's where World War Three will be fought. Not in Europe.

[Short Hand]

I beleive Asia and the MIddle east will be the major staging grounds. As well.

North Korea, is @ extremely high tensions right now with Japan and South Korea, if war breaks out who knows. China also has strains with Taiwan as does Pakistan and India. The place is a kettle waiting to explode.

HMS Illustrious has been ordered by the MoD to make ready to sail to Lebanon. Bear in mind that Hizbollah has already damaged one IDF ship and killed four Isralie sailors. And now Israel is accusing Iran of supplying and maybe even firing the missile.

I hope I'm wrong, but it looks like this one could go all the way; all out war between Israel, Iran and Syria. With the possibility that the USA, China and Russia could be drawn in...

And, of course, that means good ol Blighty will be dragged to the party as well!

Strange how WW1 starts with the assassination of one guy & all this bs starts with one kidnapping.

Altogether now, "It's the End of The World as we know it..."

It's very possible. If this does escalate into a full blown war, the US will be involved whether they like it or not. Israel needs the US to fight alongside them. So a false flag attack isn't out of the picture in my mind. Carried out by the Isralies or actually even the US and blamed on Iran or Hezbollah or whoever on either the US or British. It doesn't really matter. If one of those British ships gets hit, the US will back up the UK, and I would not be suprised if Canada got in the act in some way as well with a few warships, and maybe some CF-18's.

And really, how gullible are we? Does Israel really care about 2 abducted soldiers? Give me a break. This only provides them justification to blow the shit out of anything they please.

another War maybe ?

[Nyck]

cant blame us for this one

[Short Hand]

I bet we could ! (SELLING ARMS TO ISRAEL !)

[ninty]

The US is Israels lap dog. If Israel wants the US in a war, they'll be in a war.

[Tripper]

That'll be a shitty war to fight in, would end up being more pointless than world war one.

then how stupid is the lebanese leadership (by that I mean hezbollah, syria and iran) to have provided that excuse in the first place,
give me a break...why don't they return the soldiers they didn't murder and see what Israel does?


edit: lol at claims of Israels attacks being disproportionate, like hezbollah demands for the release of
2,389,000 "innocent" prisoners for the 2 soldiers...they really understand proprtion those mad mullahs, ffs. rolleyes:

[ninty]

Israeli soldiers were on the lebanese side of the border.

so we can blame Iran for the missile that hit the Israeli ship?
