I agree they, the US, are ahead in general, but I dont think it is by much, a few years maybe.

What you have listed is conditions for a scirmish. If you think for one second that Iran, Russia and China would attempt to go toe to toe with the U.S....your crazy. The U.S. Military has weapons that are of such an advanced level that they are kept secret to even our own Military.
Even without these weapons...U.S. Military power is unrivalled in a conventional sense and if Iran were to actually do something as stupid as attempt to close sea lanes....the Fifth Fleet would blow them out of the water as well as destroy the entire Iranian Navy, Airforce and all and any coastal military installations.
The Fifth fleet could penetrate deep into Iran if needed but they would stop at what I have described. There is a very good article and vid on RT...Russian TV where a High Ranking Russian General describes the carnage that would result if Iran was to do something stupid.
There is no way either Russia or China would get involved. They are well aware of our capabilities. Split Infinity

we were in iraq for the better part of ten years. if the united states military was so advanced and so powerful, then iraq would have gone down in one year. iraq is not much different than iran military wise.

Fuser....I know a bit about this because of my sometimes job. The tech. gap is VAST. So vast that tech is even kept from the knowledge of Congress over fears of a leak. Split Infinity

Pentagon Scientists Use 'Time Hole' to Make Events Disappear

Thanks in advance
Also this seems a bit doomish.. really ww3? come on guys.. First of all if there ever was another world war we would all be dead no exceptions. ok maybe New Zealand would be spared but nobody goes there anyway. (sorry to all my NZ mates its sibling rivalry we love you guys )edit on 6-1-2012 by TiM3LoRd because: (no reason given)
