Bush: A Nuclear Iran Could Trigger WWIII
October 17, 2007 by pulkit
President Bush issued a warning that a nuclear Iran could lead to WWIII. His admonishment came after Russia’s President Vladmir Putin–on a state visit to Tehran– said that any international military action against Iran will not be acceptable to Russia. Bush went on to say that he was interested in, whether Putin shared his concerns over the Iran nuclear issue.
Some of you might see Bush’s comment as a propagandist amplification of the Iran nuclear issue-a sort of “fear marketing” strategy-but the fact is that a nuclear Iran might bring face to face two old nuclear foes, the U.S and Russia. It might evoke the nuclear insecurities that were present during the cold war making the situation highly volatile. Maybe, in such a situation one of the countries might succumb to her fears and pre-empt. These are the kind of prospects you want to steer clear from as, if they occur by any chance, they might threaten the existence of this planet-lets leave apocalyptic visions to books and movies alone.
