"Firstly, Iran has said that the Holocaust never happened, that Israel is a idiot of a country and that Iran wants to take Israel off the map. Israel has the strongest Air Force in the world and it is clear that they won't let Iran speak to them that way. Now Russia, is an ally of Iran and they subside Iran's oil. Also, the former president of Russia, Vlad Putin, was a former KGB Agent (the USSR's CIA) and has made freedom of speech, protect, and even religion tightened. Now that Putin is the prime minister, that doesn't change much. The government controls the major T.V. and radio stations, thus campaign coverage of the oppositions candidate can't air. Besides, when the U.S. and England were trying to build a anti-nuclear barrier between Russia and the rest of Europe, Putin took it very personally and relations between Western Europe and the U.S. has been bad. The anti-nuclear barrier was really to protect Europe from Iran. Also, control of former Soviet republics has strengthened and when the nation of Kosovo (part of Serbia and the former Yugoslavia) Putin was denounces it and saying the Kosovo will have to pay. Now to China, this war is really our own fault. See for the last 15 or so years we have been borrowing tens of billions of Chinese money as their economy has been doing very well. You have been hearing for the last 6 months about the rise in recalls of Chinese made toys and other things, because they had led in it. Also China has currently the best economy in the world and they want now to have the best military in the world. So they have beens stealing U.S. military secrets on nuclear bombs and other things. Hopefully, this is more clear to you about the different wars that could be facing us within the next 5 years."
