Article: Russia and China warn US that an Israeli attack on Iran means world war...

Russia and China don't want any part of us....sure we're stretched thin and all, but we still have superior fire power and it's just a FACT that people like Freedom and Liberty more than what Russia and China offer people.

People in the Middle East tend to get the other end of the superior firepower rather than the freedom and liberty thing though.

...perhaps they should change their tune, you know, kill us with kindness instead of just trying to kill us.

Maybe if Americans didn't wet the bed over things like Saddam and his fearsome weapons of mass destruction and their government go off and kill a million Iraqis then Middle Eastern people would feel less inclined to fly planes into buildings. They've had fifty years of miserable repression at the hands of the US, maybe if they hadn't had that it's unlikely that they'd be so upset. If North Carolina had been transported into Jordan, for instance, one of the nastiest secret police states over there and one whose regime is propped up by US military/security/diplomatic aid for half a century now, but we change "US" to say Iranian or Pakistani, how would you feel if your rulers were doing the exact opposite of what you wanted at the behest and control of the Iranians/Pakistanis?

We're just protecting our Allies as we always have done....we eventually came to the aid of France and England, but Germany and Italy didn't go suicide bombing us afterwards. We totally flattened Japan but they took it and now look at them, they are our good buddies!

Here are some words for the people of Iran, and any other country that loves posturing against the US...GROW UP, we're the super power, so you have oil and you feel used because everyone is paying you millions of dollars to take it off your hands, oh boo fucking hoo. I would say when life hands you lemons make lemonade but Jesus, life has handed you a never ending supply of oil which you can use to become rich as hell and yet all you do is suicide bomb innocent people....WTF There are many more fun things to do with money other than build bombs and start wars.

So says the spokesman of the nation that seems to have been in more wars than any other since WW2. All America seems to do is build nuclear weapons and start wars. Pot calling kettle black....

Is it our fault we have so many Allies?

As for nukes, we're responsible with our toys, Iran doesn't play nice...we very well could nuke whoever goes against us, but we're the good guys and countries like Iran, North Korea, and anyone else who wants to be a loudmouth keep needling us, it makes it hard to be nice...in all honesty I think we've been extremely patient and responsible with our foreign policy in regards to wars.

You weren't protecting any allies when you overthrew a democratically elected secular government in Iran in 1953 and propped a dictator up there till 1979. You're not protecting any allies by propping up all the current Arab dictators, you're maintaining control of the region's oil.


life has handed you a never ending supply of oil which you can use to become rich as hell and yet all you do is suicide bomb innocent people....WTF There are many more fun things to do with money other than build bombs and start wars.

Other than the word "suicide" this is a good description of the situation in America.

Man I sure am glad I have this forum so I can have people who are not US citizens, don't live here and don't vote for our leaders tell me on a regular basis what a crappy country I live in and how they really know what is best for my nation.
