Reply #46: It's possible China and Russia would intervene if the US attacked Iran [View All]

[Selatius]

I don't know by which form that intervention will take, but at the very least, they would try and bring economic sanctions against the US to try and bottle up the US regime. It would resemble the policy of containment employed against the USSR for 40 years before it disintegrated. Whether China or Russia will slip the Iranians some nukes is probably not something both those powers want, but they would probably be more willing to offer the Iranians military supplies to replace those destroyed by the US air campaign. Things like anti-aircraft missiles, radar systems, warplanes, tanks, artillery guns, etc. are possible.
