Israel Dismisses Warnings From US About Attacking Iran

[AverageJoe90]

27. that's only about half true.

Not only has the risk been lowered exponentially, but the perception is actually far, far, higher than the actual likelihood.
Unfortunately, 90% of the WW3 fearmongering is solely to keep the people afraid, and not just in America, either.
Do people honestly think that Moscow would be foolish enough to gamble with the lives of 160 million people over a nation that doesn't even really respect them?

The neo-cons would love us to believe that WW3 is inevitable, but it isn't. In fact, nothing could be farther from the truth. If you may be old enough, btw, do you remember Yom Kippur? Israel was in serious trouble from invasion and even the Soviets under Brezhnev weren't willing to risk WW3.

I don't doubt that a regional war could wreak much geopolitical and economic havoc, and it can also be said that nuclear terrorism is a very real possibility....but WW3? I'm sorry, but no.
