So how many proxy wars/conflicts have we seen during the Cold War? Korea, Vietnam, Cuba[in which both countries stepped back, the US removed their missilies in Turkey], Afghanistan, Yom Kippour[more or less] not to mention the crises in Berlin, Hungary '57, Prague '68.And all the coup d'etats in satellite states in Africa and latin America .And how many times have they used nuclear weapons and have we actually seen Russians killing Americans and vice versa?...right.
So i really don't see any reason why the US or Russia might want to use them now [against each other] over some crazy Islamic theocracy, I even dare to think that Russian soldiers and conventional forces are likely to bail out and desert then to fight for these Islamic radicals and kill people from their Jewish/Russian diaspora in Israel.I've been in Moscow and St.peterburg and the hatred against Islamic[or anything foreign] people is much deeper than here in Europe or the US.
If they define this to a small war, which is most likely, i wish those Russians all the luck they need, the IDF will eat them and spit them out...edit on 16-1-2012 by Foppezao because: (no reason given)

Imo...Here are the major reasons why Russia is so concerned about Iran...
The Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline > en.wikipedia.org...
The Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan Oil Pipeline > en.wikipedia.org...

"another idea is that the US is rapidly encroaching towards mainland Russia, having invaded Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, instigated social unrest in Tunisia and Egypt, drone strikes in Pakistan and Yemen, naval skirmishes off Somalia, heightened tensions in the Black Sea from the South Ossetia conflict (which Russia knows that Georgia launched that attack on behalf of the US) and now Syria and Iran."
Why is it that Americans and I use it as a general term because about 90% of you... Just believe everything on earth revolves around you?
Are you aware that people in those countries have their own thoughts? That they maybe just maybe wanted to overthrow dictatorship as a means to benefit themselves?
Why are you on this desperate crusade to be the center of attention?

I'm well aware of roosevelt pressuring japan by cutting off her ability to obtain oil,90% of which japan was importing at the time,which more or less forced japan to assault outwards just to survive,but i'm very surprised that newpapers headline was allowed to be released...
Its like that cross-word puzzle from england in 1944 that used words that more or less revealed the soon to be d-day invasion plans,code names for the landing beaches and the entire operation itself...The Crossword Panic Of May-1944 > www.historic-uk.com...

Seeing how Russia is the second most powerful military in the world they can do what they want. Israel needs to start reigning in it's terrorist before it gets stepped on like the bug it is. Remember without America Israel is nothing.

Because we are the ones who have to constantly keep fixing other peoples messes. When in the Former Yugoslavia...Serbians were killing Muslims on a genocide level...I did not see many countries coming to their aid even though it was happening in the back yard of many of the nations you listed.
Start doing the right thing and we will not have to do it for you! Split Infinity

Israel has some hold over America, that said Israel is also amongst the strongest military strategist in the world with highly trained personal that would probably put to shame some of the best in USA, technologically they are faaaar superior to anyone in the middle east. Maybe I'm wrong but they don't need America, America needs Israel.

Nope. Our military keeps tabs on everything that goes on in our waters. If we know where they are, they are not a threat.
Those who think these subs pose any threat have absolutely no clue how our military functions, nor the technology that is used.
You don't become the #1 military super power in the world without being able to detect potential threats and defend yourself.

You are right about the Russians hving no love for Islamic Extremists. In this case there is NO WAY that Russia would commit troops or any other military actions to help Iran. China would do nothing also as they too have issues with Extremists.
This whole thing was set into motion by Iranians with Big Mouths. It will end with a wimper not a bang. And if for some very unlikely reason things do go Bang....Iran will be much different. Split Infinity

That's without help from the U.S. unless Ezekiel just failed to mention that one. I really doubt that. Russia has nukes and that's the only reason anyone puts up with anything they do. I think most of their ICBM's wont make it out of their launchers. The new ones, yeah but the older ones have serious issues I am sure.
