I thought world war 3 started back in 1990?

I can't see the problem tbh, if we're allowed to produce nuclear fuels then why can't they. So long as there's no viable evidence that they are producing nuclear weapons who gives a shit. Some caution should probably be applied in avoiding a heavy handed approach like the way Iraq was 'dealt' (loosest possible term) with.

Apparently it depends on who you speak to. Some people regard the Cold War as WW3 and the current 'War on Terror' as WW4

Most people prefer to wait until we have something even remotely resembling the scale of the first two world wars.

for me it's all about the body count. they need to be piled sky high on the streets chuck norris style before it's considered a real WW by me

This is old news. The US/Israel will launch a nuclear attack against Iran this year. I have posted this on several occassions.

Escalation will depend on how many countries support the attack.

It's an interesting possibility...I think it's probably safe to say that there's elements within Iran that want nuclear bombs to even things up in that part of the world, but whether there's the political will to actually do it (while knowing that Israel is probably desperate for an excuse to prove how hard they are) is another question .

it's not old news. it just happened today.

if you're referring to iran and their nuclear daliances then yes that is old news but we all knew that as well.

anyhoo, at the moment there is no way in hell the US could launch a nuclear strike against a key muslim state like iran while Iraq is still unresolved. even jack straw agrees that it's 'nuts'!

Israel's a different story but i don't think they'd act without US support and as such i doubt it will happen either. the only thing that would change that is if it was conclusively proved that Iran was working towards military nuclear technology. and even then would a nuclear strike be justified?
