Ok, it's been in the news that Israel has moved some missile ships and a sub into the Red Sea. . .Israel is also doing some joint training at Nellis, I think later this month. . .
August is also approaching. Seems like more than other times, August/September has been time for stuff to go down (WW I WW II, attempted coup in Russia, invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, power failure in NE in 2003, first use of atomic weapons, Elvis died, and chop suey is first served in NYC. . ) If Israel does attack Iran, in August/September, or any other time in the near future, what do you think would be some of the immediate consequences for us here in the USA? This is a serious inquiry. This is also GD in arfcom. I expect as much wise-acrey as I do serious responses. . . so what say ye? |

A statue of Benjamin Netanyahu is erected in the very same Baghdad square where a statue of Saddam Hussein once was famously torn down, shoe-smacked and dragged through the streets.
ETA - How it affects us in America: CNN, MSNBC and the three major broadcast networks completely ignore the story. |

Quoted:
It depends more on how Russia and China react. The arabs aren't particularly fond of the persians, so the backlash won't be as bad in the Middle East, but the Russians and Chinese have investments in Iran and aren't going to like it. Mostly this. But tag for more. |

Iran may suffer a setback, but will vow revenge.
So, while it begins to rebuild, it orders its chronies, Hezbollah, to attack Israel, the jews everywhere in the world, and Western nations sympathetic to Israel. Expect suicide bombers, car bombs, shootings in Western Europe, Australia, Asia and here in the North American continent. It's not going to be any fun watching our country turn into a war zone.

The Russians (don't know about the Chinese) had huge investments in IRAQ prior to 2003, but that did not stop us. Everybody gets a panties in a wad over what the Russians will do. Who the fuck cares? They'll do the same thing they have always done. Assess how it affects continental Asia, decide that the threat to the motherland is not worth going to war over, and rattle their swords while the adult countries of the world sort out the global implications of events. |

No air force in the world can do that job, it requires a land invasion. 2) Iran MAY blame the US and respond by fucking with oil traffic in the Gulf 3) (2) means the USN has to intervene... 4) In the mean time (before we clean it all up), gas prices go nutzo.... 5) More economic trouble for us, due to (4)..... |

Israel attacks Iran and achieves objectives.
Israel then claims it was a mistake. Iran agrees and embarks on a 40 year program to guarantee Israel's security, buys them weapons, pays off their enemies and give them money. Lots of money. Israel lives well. Oh wait; it is only the US that does that kind of thing. |
