World War 3?

[thelionheart]

I was reading the local newspaper and these topics came by

Nasrallah says Hezbollah may conquer north Israel

Lieberman: Iranian Warships Heading to Syria, Israel Can't Ignore Provocation

What do you think would happen ?

[legate]

Nothing will happen, all talk and no action

[hellheaven1987]

Does Syria even have a port?

Edit: I just realize Syria actually has coast, my bad.

The Russians planned to set up a naval base in Syria in 2008 although I think they decided just to use the fishing ports :http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008...8/syria.russia

Also even if things did get hot who would go to war on Irans side? No one.

[s.rwitt]

Definitely not WW3.

Well saying that it would cause world war 3 is over-simplifying the conflict and over-estimating the parties to conflict. One thing is but sure and America and Europe do not realize a simple reality. Elite class of every nation can be used by much powerful nations, nations are but not a thing to be used for ever. We hear about puppet regimes, thing is that nations are never puppet. There comes a time that all you imperialist "stick and carrot" ways are not sufficient to keep nations in their strangle hold.

One may ask why Mubarak had to leave? because Egyptians want to erase Israel and Mubarak was posing a stumbling block? yes upto a limit this was the reason, but main reason was poverty and Egyptian elite's corruption and oppression, same is the story with every other Muslim/Arab country.

Everyone understands this, the thing which no one pays attention towards is that oppression and corruption of Muslim elite and poverty has strong links with American/European support. How? Take Egypt as an example, America and West need safety of their thursted dagger Israel in ME. Israel is not only a mark of their victory over us but their outpost in ME too, plus it is not as if West wants Israel to be there, but Jews have developed themselves into a small society which has this world in it's strangle hold through economy and media. So that small Jewish society forces, with these weapons of economy and propaganda, the west to fight and force for Jewish homeland in ME. To secure Israel America supports dictators and kings like Mubarak and Abdullah in Arab world, now those puppets are not on Western payrole, they have their own interests too. Their interest is their lust for power and money, for power they oppress and for money they do corruption, these two things create frusteration and poverty in Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan etc. and that frustration gets more power from poverty and unemployment and price hike, (price hike is by product on nepotism, nepotism which is found in every dictatorship and fake democracy supported by America), so that frusteration and poverty creates need for change and that need for change definitely brings change. So now we know how oppression, poverty, price hike is linked with Western ill-will of fulfilling their bloody interests (like oil occupation) and of securing Israel.

So when Muslim nations would wake up and they would get real freedom from their puppet elite class, that day would be the day of great tension between West and Muslim world. West would have to decide to either give up their unnecessary and evil interests in ME and they would have to leave defending illegitimate state of Israel, if they do so in that period of great tension, there would be peace and no war, if they decide to carryon bloodshed for oil and resources and if they decide to keep defending Israel, that would be defining moment, and if on that moment Arabs decide to retreat again, that would be a new era of peace on shameful terms or otherwise if they decide to get their resources and land back, it would be a third world war. China would play a vital role, they would most probably keep quiet till that defining moment comes, but after that, seeing their emerging role in World economics and politics, they would have to be a party.

Should muslim world band together and decide they do not like Israel existing... It would be beginning of long term peace for ME because if war you speak of would come to be....

Amount of muslims in this world would radically drop. Muslim world does not have the guns to stand up against western societies.

Throwing stones is all good and dandy as long as your opponent with tank does not see the aggression worth retaliating. But if they do...

Third world war would require two sides on roughly equal standing. Something muslim world cannot present if other side is going to be western world.

Stones really hurt sometimes... Look at US army beaten in Afghanistan.
And Muslim world will remain at disadvantage until they all unite & fight back. Weapons are not everything, faith, leadership etc all play important role in conflicts.
According to Quran & Ahadis muslims will be pushed back intially by Jews who would completely dominate the world (they are dominating the world today as well to some extent ). Many muslims would abandon big cities because of the control the Jews would have. Then Jesus (PBUH) would come, unite Muslims & Christians & kick Anti-Christ & his followers' butt.

I don't think so, history is witness that some small groups won against big and powerful groups. History is witness of one more thing that there is a limit to which one may be cornered, when that limit reaches even if opponent is much powerful, the cornered one retaliates. That was just an analysis based on human nature, definitely I am not some war analyst or paul the octopus.

It's all posturing and rhetoric, nothing'll come of it.

Also I lol'd at the claim by Nasrallah.

[Alkarin]

Give them bows, and we'll have Cretan Archers!

Let'em do their job alone,world can exist in both,without Hezbollah and without Israel and even more,neither of them is worth of WWIII and obviously everything I wrote in the first part of this post is very well known for those who rule countries able to cause WWIII with their intervention and as you might think they aren't going to let this regional conflict evolve into world war.

Things can get out of hand rather quickly, as evidenced by the Black Hand assassinating Franz Ferdinand. I'm sure none of the involved parties wanted that to turn into a general European war at the start, but it did.
