speaking of nuclear: i wonder if tel-aviv/washington/london/paris would launch a nuke if iran makes too much progress in neutralizing all of the western assets in the region and if beijing or moscow would step in at that stage.

I don't really want to think about that. Tens of millions of people would likely die in the process and World War III may get kicked off.

... World War III may get kicked off

i'm bet beijing and moscow will nope out of it because of this.

Don't be too sure, Iran is extremely important for both.

Tel Aviv I can't predict. London and Paris are too sensible. Washington we could probably keep Krasnov from nuking anything (we've done good so far. I mean they changed the code from 00000 to 12345 at least, right? Right?) by giving him a red light up button and just letting him watch the end of Dr Strangelove
