UrVillageChief:What are you yapping on all about.....how did the 2nd ww get to north Africa? Having multiple wars across the globe in itself is a ww.....Italy was busy in north africa,Japan was busy in the Asia Pacific,Germany was running the blithering all over Europe. Sub Saharan Africa was too un important to be bothered about by the world powers......but the world is far more different today,its far more connected,due ro globalisation and any spark somewhere could ignite a lot of fires......its not about xtian Muslim or america vs Iran......its a conglomeration of tinder boxes a fraction away from exploding. |

Lithiumite:Ogbeni, nobody is sticking out their head to fight a global war for a country that’s not worth it. Those countries that fought in the World wars all did so out of necessity and desperation. The world rose against Germany (and Japan) because Hitler had this dangerous resolve to conquer the world and he was already succeeding. They underestimated him until it became too late. France and the UK were almost overrun. The countries that fought in the world war all joined the war because they were all directly or indirectly affected. They all saw the imminent invasion. About 2/3 of France was already gone and Russia didn’t join the War until they started seeing the handwriting on the walls too. Kid, war is always about interests. Nobody fights a war where he has no interests to protect. You either fight it to gain something or to save your own self. So in your silly thinking, China, a country that is not in direct danger in the event of an American invasion of Iran, would risk losing the booming economy, cities and the military it suffered for decades to build all because someone is dealing with some Arabs/persians in faraway Iran?😂 China going into any silly war in this period where many people are hoping for their downfall would be its greatest undoing and countries like Japan would be the happiest on Earth because believe me, China will never recover in a million years. Let’s even leave that one and look it from the perspective of religion and creed. You must be highly deluded, ignorant and silly to think that a Buddhist (of all people) would go into a War that could take his life all because of a Muslim being beaten. Like, una dey think at all?! This country called China isn’t even thinking of fighting a war to reunite with its own brother (Taiwan) but here on Nairaland, one bloke believes this country will ignite a world war in support of Iran (a Shia Muslim country)😂😂 You are being ignored now. (Thank your stars and also thank Seun, I couldn’t express myself myself well. I couldn’t call you what you are😂) |

aswani:Exactly, you got it. This shows that the Chinese are wise. The Americans, Koreans and the Japanese would be the happiest people on earth should China make that devastating mistake of embarking on any silly armed conflict at this critical period. I’m sure the US is hoping they would make the mistake and this is obviously what they have been intending to do using Taiwan but the Chinese are obviously smarter and always a step ahead. They are not taking the bait but some Nairaland war analysts sillily believe that this same Buddhist China would someday take up arms and fight the US (a World war) all because of nobody other then Iran, a conservative Shia country😂😂 This forum needs to be regulated because people are going crazy everyday. |

aswani:Maybe you should read it again and also check the thread, I never said you were the one who said it. |

UrVillageChief:Hello!! How's the family.......you are just going off course feeling like a piers Morgan wannabe........who has told you 3rd WW is about america and Iran........if you are to unintelligent to remember america is in this on the pretext of supporting isreal while their main aim is to capitulate the perceived major threath to American interest in the ME. In the same analogy you gave about the conflicting sides in the 2nd WW,Did Japan do all they did in the Asia Pacific because they loved Germany so much and hated the allied powers,the answer is obviously a no,it was for their own strategic national interests, Italy sought it as an opportunity to take control of North africa ro counter French and British interests there not because mussolini loved Hitler so much,even almighty america didn't get into the war until they faced the direct threath of the Japanese......so whats your point exactly, who told you anyone will be going to war because they love Iran. Iran can be propped up to go on the defensive and hit an American carrier,the worst america can do is put boots on the ground, which os what america doesn't ever want to do and the other option is making air raids into Iran which both options comes at staggering cost to the US .....nuking Iran is totally off the table........you should also increase your IQ level too to also understand Iran has those that are also supporting them covertly.......Russian missiles air defense systems can find their way into iran so can NK and Chinese weapons amd tech. Fishbrain!! Its not in anyway in China and Russians interest if Trump annexes the strait as he has been threatening and this will bring its own repercussions if he dares try it.......Russia can go all ballistic against Ukraine with their eyes on EU nations such as Finland,Lithuania,Slovenia and other former USSR states and america wouldn't be able to do anything while Europe will have to be on the defensive,note that these countries defense budgets have been increasing over the years due to clear and present Russian threaths. China will go into the south China sea to checkmate American interests there and serve as counter measure to the US grabbing Hormuz a major gateway to the chienese economic survival itself.......China isn’t going to be doing these because they love Iran,they are doing this for their own interests.......this will be in direct confrontation with the Philippines and Japan which also are in conflict with China over that water space......Taiwan as also always been within tbe Chinese sphere of influence and it has always been their ambition to reunite Taiwan with the mainland, america that has always been the chief protector would already be limited by the ME crisis and limited EU support won't be able to do much for Taiwan,these alone can affect the world economy by putting 80% of the control of semi conductor market in the hands of China which the US itself dreads so badly they will be ready to go to war for that. Nk has also had the age old ambition of unifying the 2 Koreas but are only been held back by American interests,once america starts to bleed,there would be no holding back There are alos several other flashpoints still being held at bay just because the major powers have still not totally fallen out with each other......yemen/Saudi Arabia,Afghanistan/Pakistan,Pakistan/India,india/China,Egypt& eritrea/Ethiopia,Ugand/ Rwanda over DRC,morroco/western Sahara etc. The reason for all this unnecessary brickbats is simply because of your lack of cognitive ability to understand my initial post in context......" what Trump is threatening to annex the strait will start a conflagration in the form of a 3rd WW not because anybody loves Iran but because of individual national interests but if he keeps it a threat then everyone will equally hold their fire. |
