Defense systems and early warnings should hopefully keep everyone safe.You would presume the air defence systems at the bases will keep the casualty numbers low.

I hope that.Really hope the militias don't drag the whole country into it.
You would think so , the bases are well protected, with Patriot and others, but always the chance a couple can get through, hit a food tent or one with off duty soldiers sleeping, unthinkable !!You would presume the air defence systems at the bases will keep the casualty numbers low.
My sympathies bro. It looks like Iraq gonna be a playground for shiny new weapons again.

Green light....yes.Does this now give Trump the red light he clearly wants to attack Iran direct ?
I reckon it depends on what Russia and China say in a few hoursDoes this now give Trump the red light he clearly wants to attack Iran direct ?
Bombing certainly. Can't see a full scale ground invasion - would be a much tougher nut to crack than Iraq was. Iran is much better armed and equipped, and also surrounded by mountains which would make the logistics of a ground invasion very difficult.

Never thought about them , both been very quiet about the whole thing so farI reckon it depends on what Russia and China say in a few hours
Russia and China aren’t putting themselves on the line for Iran. They’re on their own if this goes hot.I reckon it depends on what Russia and China say in a few hours
Hopefully we stay the hell away from it.
There wouldn't be a need for a ground invasion imo. All the damage would be done from remote platforms.Bombing certainly.

Iran is much better armed and equipped, and also surrounded by mountains which would make the logistics of a ground invasion very difficult.
I expect the US will launch an air campaign. If they do, it'll be one of the biggest challenges American pilots have faced in decades - for the first time they'll be coming up against a fairly large air force and ground defences, albeit with somewhat more obsolete tech.
In Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya there wasn't much in the way of an air-to-air campaign. With Iran, there will be - might even see the old F-14s in action. Not that I want this to happen of course.
Oil is soaring so the Russian are enjoying this at the moment.Russia and China aren’t putting themselves on the line for Iran. They’re on their own if this goes hot.
God damn it
Where you hearing this from?a new round of attacks on Ain al Asad

Why even play that game though. The "we can risk this because Russia and China wouldn't want this to escalate onto them" card is not at all something the US should be thinking about here. If one of those 2 gets involved then all of a sudden there's a global conflict. That's just horrible. I can't believe that this was so carelessy escalated. Incredible, how the illusion of world peace that there was for a moment is being put at risk. Insane even.Russia and China aren’t putting themselves on the line for Iran. They’re on their own if this goes hot.
Swamp drained, am I right?
If it kicks off , how can we ?Hope the UK stay out of it.
