STOP WITH THE SCARE TACTICS. SERIOUSLY.
Scare tactics? You think
I am scaring everyone? That
I am the one saying all of these?
SERIOUSLY?
Now, let's say that Major General Zhang Zhaizhong was just joking around when he said that "China will not hesitate to protect Iran even with a third World War." Though is it not clear when the statement was made or in what context, the question is why did Professor Xia Ming acknowledge it instead of refuting what the Major General said? IMO, I don't think a Major General will recklessly say something like that as a joke.

[/FONT]So, will the US attack on Iran trigger the third World War? Maybe. But I hope not.
It is not a secret that there is tension between the US and Iran, one incident was this
Drone downed in Iran: 'US great game could spark WWIII' — RT and the recent is this
Parsi: Without renewed diplomacy, war with Iran lies around the corner – Global Public Square - CNN.com Blogs "Anyone who threatens to disrupt freedom of navigation in an international straight is clearly outside the community of nations. Any disruptions will not be tolerated" - US Navy which has several warships stationed near the Straight of Hormuz.
But of course one can easily dismiss this as untrue because it was "
posted on the Internet because the Internet ... is obviously true in all ways." but would it be believable if it was reported in Balitang Bisdak by Bobby Nalzaro or on TV Patrol or posted on ANS-CBN's website?
"Who is going to risk WW3 for Iran? China?" - Well, wouldn't you protect your friend if they are assaulted with no reason at all? China and Iran have strong ties to each other, they are 'friends' in a sense. Iran is being accused of developing nuclear weapons and the US has been sending drones into Iranian airspace for recon and the Iranian government is not particularly happy with it.
What is posted here is for everyone's information, I am not implying that it is true, the hell do I care if people don't believe it, that's why there is "if" in my first post. If nothing happens, WW3 doesn't erupt, China doesn't go to war to protect Iran then that's great. But if it happens, then at least people knew it was going to happen.
