Without a strong America, there is no NATO, and we'll be on our own; our only response will be submission, or nuclear war. At that point, everyone- Russia, China, America, everyone dies within a couple hours.

But anyone left will get along great after that.

The only reason this didn't happen during the Cuban missle crisis with Russia is we didn't have the largest country in the world holding our arm behind our backs, and Kennedy had something to bargain with. Our debt to China isnt partisan either, everyone is at fault.

Of course, the chances of us doing anything to piss off China right now are zero to none, so there isn't much to worry about in that aspect.
It will be a sad day in history when American defense companies refuse to help us because the dollar crashes- especially since they have been "sucking the tit" and getting well over the value of the materials in the weapons from all the defense contracts over the years.

It will be a sad day, I agree. All throughout history bad things have happened when you can't pay your military, or when you can't afford to supply them correctly. I believe greed plauges the human race no less now than it ever has. SOME companies will stand up to the task, and most citizens will stand up and fight without having to be paid. But in the face of a total economic meltdown, the complete decline of infrastructure in our society, would some or most be enough to fend off more than half the world?

That is why I'm confident we are gonna be kissin' some Chinese butt until we elect some people who will cut down our debt to them. Once again, not partisan, everyone is at fault reguardless of the letter they put next to their name.

I don't believe it. It would be all over the place if they had actually done it. You haven't heard this on the nightly news, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, BBC, etc.

I'm calling

We would have been fine but Rambo stepped in and blew up some Russian helicopters so we are back to where we were.

That being said, I've been discussing this situation with a few people. There is a lot of discussion to be had on this issue. I'll run through a scenario based upon realism, a theory of political science based heavily on power and national relationships.

Iran, as we all know, is what many can safely call a rogue state. It routinely violates international agreements and laws, leading to UN sanctions that have been passed and enforced by much of the international community.

Israel, as we all know, is a key strategic partner of the US in the Middle East because it represents the only widely successful western democracy in the region and a key ally in fighting the Soviet Union with its world class spies. Without this espionage, the US would only have nations west of the Iron Curtain as sources of intelligence, making the Cold War much more difficult to end.
c

wooooooooooooow wait a minute!! And USA and Israel do not????????

The last time I looked cluster bombs were illegal to use during warfare yet USA used them against Iraq on a regular basis. Funny how people can have such short memories sometimes!

No nation is perfect but let me tell you this, absolute power corrupts absolutely!

Interesting read...

Don 't really have a clue what might happen..

All I know is

Unrest in the middle east keeps oil prices up..

Oil producing countries love this stuff..

What really ends up happening when and if Israel bombs Iran nuclear facility?

nothing except whats happening now...which is suicide bombings etc...

China and russia won't do squat..

Sword rattling at its best..

Like I said..it just keeps the price of oil up..

Well now instead of stopping them from finishing a few hydrogen bombs, they are not making low yield they are making high yield soviet style h bomb design they got from Pakistan. Now we are gonna make a missile shield there? What are just stopping them from making a bomb?

I doubt they where gonna use a rocket to deliver the bomb to Tel Aviv. A van or truck should be good enough. Don't have to expect the next bomb to go off in a city to be missile delivery. They don't need a missile.

These two pieces of info make me think this whole article is just another conspiracy theory.......

Who writes a article and doesnt list sources?????

"[Ed. Note: Western governments and their intelligence services actively campaign against the information found in these reports so as not to alarm their citizens about the many catastrophic Earth changes and events to come, a stance that the Sisters of Sorcha Faal strongly disagrees with in believing that it is every human beings right to know the truth. Due to our missions conflicts with that of those governments, the responses of their ‘agents’ against us has been a longstanding misinformation/misdirection campaign designed to discredit and which is addressed in the report “Who Is Sorcha Faal?”.]"

Just a grunt, right?

Either way, I expected more from a self proclaimed vet.

To answer your question, no I have not been there, but that does not change the fact that you are suggesting we kill millions of innocent lives. That is simply unacceptable, and it goes against every reason why our military even exists.

I am appalled that you would ever suggest such a thing. Just because you saw a select few bad Iranians does not make the entire batch bad. If you were informed, you would watch the news and see all the protests to the current regime in Iran, and you would see that many Iranians are looking for freedom from an oppressive regime. Do you want to simply nuke them too, and brush them under the rug?

Wow, I am disgusted with you.
