If Russia and the U.S. are facing off on opposite ends of a Syrian-Iranian-Iraq war vs. like the U.S. and Israel and Suadi Arabia, that's kind of a big deal

Iran has a military force of like 13 million people when including the basij, which dwarfs entire countries in population

Even without WMD's it would be a bloodbath

what if Iran decides to march to France and just attack them or what have you

You can literally walk from the middle east to Europe, many have

with a military budget, after sanctions, of a fucking corner diner's salary

The distance between France and Iraq is a shorter distance between LA and New York

that you even pretend Iran is a threat to anyone but itself at this current point is either extremely naive or shows malicious agenda

The middle east is right across the border on Europe

iran is pretty clearly a threat to a lot of people, arming and funding hezbollah for example, who daily luanches missiles at israel

Iran has also tried to assassinate many western leaders, including in denmark, and has been attacking various ships

Saudis fund ISIS and we actively support them, try again

No they don't

There isn't real evidence of this

oh fucking isn't there?

okay mr wikipedia

Also Hezbollah is the most powerful terrorist organization on the planet

The weapon's used by ISIS are generic ak-47's and things

These are easily obtained outside of foreign support

Hezbollah has 130,000 missiles stockpiled so far, most of them Russian, with Iran getting them from Russia

This is a different type of threat than ak's

It's unlikely Suadi Arabia gave them, ak-47's

ISIS in syria have been found with American weapons sold to the saudis, try again

No, a small number of American weapon's were stolen from an iraq base

The majority of weapon's are ak-47's, which are soviet weapon's

left overs from the cold war on the black market

You rarely see things like M16's in the hands of terrorists, and there is a reason for that

*Russian, its still their property, no need to be anachronistic

it's largely not out weapon's ending up in their hands

Well yugoslavia and serbia also made ak's and stuff

And china made copy cats of the ak, most notably the Type 56

and romania and so on

Sure, so it's really soviet, rather than russian per se

Not that the distinction matters all that much

Basically the Soviet bloc countries

or the ex-soviet bloc these days

most of these weapon's though are not american, with the small handful being stolen from an iraq base

For example ISIS did attack an Iraq base and steal some weapons, but most of the weapon's in the world come from Russia and other socialist/communist countries, rather than the U.S.

it's pretty unlikely Suadi Arabia is the source of their weapon's, since Suadi Arabia doesn't really need to be

There's no obvious link
