Priti priti priti Patel Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I genuinely feel nervous. I never usually get taken by these things but and I am not saying it will be WWIII but for f**k's sake, Trump is unstable and has every weapon up to the nukes available to him, while Iran is a much more significant military force than probably he realises, with the two most powerful militaries after the USA as its allies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. This is probably the closest we've been to WWIII since the end of WWII, at least on a par with the Cuban Missile Crisis now. WWIII could genuinely kick off tomorrow if things are handled badly, and it requires reasoned, wise, statesmanlike and bold decisions to be taken exercising the most enlightened diplomacy and exuding a conciliatory and restrained tone to get us out of this. Fortunately the person taking those decisions is Donald Trump, so I'm sure we'll be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priti priti priti Patel Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Footage reportedly from inside one of the US bases, showing the air defense system sending up decoys, the siren, and at the end you can hear one missile impact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Wonder how many will die in this stupid dick-measuring contest now? And why hasn't Trump succumbed to a fucking heart attack or stroke or something yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 In all seriousness I have a really bad feeling about this, and am genuinely feeling a little sick in my stomach right now. That is how a world war starts, if they draw Israel is to open conflict we're virtually there. Reports just now of approx 20 dead on the US bases hit, and US warplanes have taken off from Turkey and UAE, whilst Iranian air force have taken to the skies too. This couldn't really be any worse, WWIII might even be starting right now. If it does there will be no winners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just buys himself a new heart each time it happens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If the Iranian retribution for the US killing one of their top guys is to fire some rockets at an Iraqi base that had some US troops in it then we’ll be fine in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume unless they're taking off or landing they'd be too high up to be affected. And US has apparently now told airlines not to fly over there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralstonite Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 From Press TV: Quote “We warn US allies providing bases for the [American] terrorist army… that any country serving as the origin of bellicose and aggressive attacks in any form against the Islamic Republic of Iran will be targeted,” read the IRGC statement. That's quite fair, IMHO. A couple of good Twitter feeds: https://twitter.com/NewsBreaking https://twitter.com/PMBreakingNews 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Jesus this is bigThat’s jumping the gun. Folk need to hold their horses on this.
