If Israel attack Iran - whose to say China won't retaliate as they have major trade with them

Scary stuff.

Silvertusk.

If Israel attacks anyone else or they get attacked outright, it begins WWIII. As much as I dislike it, America and several other western world countries have iron-clad alliances with Israel. Most middle eastern countries would relish the opportunity to gang up on Israel if presented the chance. Other major countries would be forced into conflict either through proximity (being too close to the area) or by alliances and trade agreements with middle eastern countries that they don't want to be broken.

Not yet! King of the South wins the first interaction. This leads to the exile of half of Jerusalem. Guess which half? When the Jews are kicked out, this provides the only superpower which has no oil - Europe, with the excuse of saving the Jews but really is to put the Pope in Jerusalem and grab the oil. This is the thing which angers China. [having another superpower in the oilfields] This is when you should run for the hills if you live in Israel. None of this will happen until our new European leader emerges, perhaps at the coming German elections. Come Lord quick.

China has no reason to get involved militarily. You forget, we are one of their largest trading partners. Their economy is awesome right now, getting involved with U.S, German, British, and Israeli military's is not something they want to do. They might as well milk us more. Kind of like the king with the gold goose, don't kill the goose, just take the eggs.

Are you kidding! The only thing that China gets from the US is hacked military and civil intelligence and IOU's [treasury notes]. You can bet when they're ready or when the US falls to one knee a stab in the back will be next to assert Pacific dominance.

investigate a bit more. believe it or not we are one of china's main source of foreign goods. Starting a war with us again, both takes us away from buying the crap they make that makes their economy great, and takes away the imports they get away from us.

And starting a war with 4 other world major powers does not exactly contribute to your countries prosperity. They are in great shape right now as it is, world power, economic powerhouse, strong military, ect...
