Saddam wasn't a monster, he was just ahead of the curve. If only he had been allowed to live...

I think if the U.S.A invaded Iran it would be WW3. Russia & America would nuke the whole entire world.

I do not think we would ever use Nukes again. Unless we were really desperate. WW2 was not a desperate situation by far in my opinion. We already had the Japanese running across the Pacific back home. There was really little need for it. Especially with all the fire bombings that were going on. I heard that fire bombings killed more Japanese than the Bombs. Is that correct? A desperate situation would see months or years of fighting on AMerican soil before any bomb was sent.


The U.S.A wont use nukes. But guess who will use it?? IRAN, They will start everything.



Saddam was hated by the majority of the people. The majority of Iraqis are Shia muslim, Saddam was Sunni. He killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and he would have never been able to come back into power.

The US won't invade Iran because the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan went badly and Iran would be 10 times more difficult than both of those combined (more people, more weapons, more foreign allies). But people saying that Russia would start world war 3 over Iran are delusional, Iran isn't even one of the most important countries for Russia.

Iran is important to Russia because they are one of the few countries that buys billions worth of Russian weapons.

So Russsia would start World War 3 over a few billion dollars? I'm pretty sure the cost of World War 3 would be a lot more than the money they make from Iran.
