[quote]You haven't all forgotten about Iran have you? There is a "red line" they are going to pass with their nuclear technological advancements, that both the US and Israel have agreed to use military force to stop.[/quote] Officially, yes. However, I'm starting to think that this is nothing more than a political ploy to try and scare Iran. We just got out of two wars, and we're not looking for a third. It would be suicidal, resulting in an untimely death for our economy. Israel doesn't have the military capacity to strike Iran, that's why they're relying on us. If we refuse to initiate conflict, Israel won't be able to do anything about Tehran's program. [quote]This is a distraction technique used a lot throughout history, both national and international. In this case, North Korea is distracting the international community while the US and Israel prepare for an attack on Iran, and possibly anything that might follow.[/quote] I don't think that this is being used as a distraction for a strike on Iran, to be frank. Given the fact that we'd need a great deal of assets to conduct the attack (primarily defensive and logistical units), someone would catch on eventually, even if our eyes are turned towards North Korea. [quote]Anyways, this is mostly a reminder that there will be something boiling over in Iran any time now until the end of the year.[/quote] I hope not, war would be idiotic and just prove that the conspiracy theorists are right about America being Israel's bitch.
