So there's a US Navy Armada headed for Iran, and Russia invades Georgia. Precursors for World War 3?

Question

Or am I getting carried away? If the joint US/EU naval fleet embargoes Iran, that is an act of war under international law. Iran could declare war on the US and Iran after that and then it's possible Russia and China could back their ally. That would be disastrous. And Russia is already in recent conflict with former USSR member Georgia. All of this on 8/8/08, the day the world's attention is on the Olympics in China. Coincidence? I think not. But what do you think?

Answer 1

WW3 is the last thing that people would want. You're overreacting.

Answer 2

I just heard about Russia and Georgia, not good. =/

New war going to break out I am guessing. :[

Answer 3

Lets hope the Russians are smart enough not to make this a HUGE problem.

Answer 4

this has happened before, like the korean war. Most that would happen is a proxy war. China won't get involved simply cause of their ways, they stay to themselves unless its at their border. EU will just do sanctions and the USA is dealing with Iraq and Afghanistan which is getting better but still using resources. Iran is a "threat" cause its the weakest threat the US can fight without taking alot of losses. Best option for Georgia if Russia continues is getting military equipment from the US and manpower and economic pressure from neighboring countries.  

Answer 5

AHN has reported on Brimstone and the naval build up in the gulf (the only news agency to mention it so far).
