paul sr 1,063 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 (edited) All Iran has to do is drag this out for a couple more weeks and the price of oil will hit an all time high , then there will be very serious consequences for the world economy . When this war ends and if Iran is still a functional country , the first thing the Russians and chinese will do is help and train the Iranians how to prevent anymore Mossad/ CIA protests. Then the Chinese will help Iran rebuild any military and civilian infrastructure that was destroyed . Then China will supply them with military equipment that will prevent them being attacked again . Is China the real winner in this war ? . Edited March 13 by paul sr 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jukel123 10,406 Posted March 12 Author Report Share Posted March 12 I must admit I'm getting scared now. I'm not normally phased by world events or medical scares, because dying at my stage of life is something which is going to come relatively soon anyway, not that I'm inviting it or looking forward to it. But the potential for this war to escalate and the subsequent global ramifications for future generations are huge. It's beginning to hit home just what a firestorm this is becoming. I'm scared of desalination plants being hit, the Strait of Hormuz remaining a war zone indefinitely and even the possibility of Israel deploying a nucear warhead. I'm probably doom mongering and catastrophising. Hopefully it could be over soon. But there are so many scores to settle that I don't believe it will . Iran has been preparing for this scenario for years. It could be a long haul. Shit just got real. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Being of a similar vintage, I can sympathise with your views on age Although I’m a stoic and a fatalist, I’m still a glass half full mindset; I hope that’s not a contradiction. I was talking to friends today about escalation, my cousin and his wife just got out of Cyprus and gave me a first hand update on what was happening there, not much apparently and they live 4 mile from Akrotiri and Greek war planes are patrolling the skies.The general consensus was that Russia is bogged down in a WW1 type war of attrition and Chinas economic growth is forecast to fall so the last thing they need is a war with the West, they need us to buy the goods we used to make ourselves but have offshored to them ; have you seen the amount of Chinese EV’s on the road recently ? As for Isreal using a nuclear weapon, they don’t need to; they appear to have left Iran to the Americans and are concentrating on Lebanon, in the last few minutes, they have told 800,000 Lebanese to move out as they are going to destroy Hezbollah strongholds in Beruit tonight. I accept it may get worse before it gets better but as I’ve got family in the area I’d like it to finish tomorrow Im sure we will still be around when the next “end of the world scenario” comes around Stay safe Cheers.

I feel better now after your reassurance. So much so that I'm happily trotting off to bed with a warming mug of cocoa, my rosary beads and worry beads. Thank you and good night. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
