World War III

Ever since the end of World War 2, man has wondered when the inevitable World War 3 will take place and who or what be involved. In recent broadcasts, Ghost has stated his belief that the next world war could start in the next few months. While many dismiss this as crazy talk, Ghost's vision of World War 3 is actually probable.

Ghost's Vision of WWIII
Ghost believes as US troops leave Iraq the country will destabilize, giving Iran the oppurtunity to "take over" the country either through annexation or turing it into a puppet state. Iran will then support the "winning" side in the Syrian conflict and make a puppet/ally out of Syria, possibly installing troops in the country. From Syria, Iran has a clear shot at it's enemies which include Israel, Saudi Arabia, and should it see NATO as a threat, Turkey.

Before, during, or after the "Iranian conquests", Ghost believes that Iran will attack US targets which will most likely be US military bases. If Iran were to attack US-Israeli/Nato bases, it could cripple western influence on the Middle East, giving Iran the oppurtunity to take control of the region. (See the map for countries with a US military presence, outlined in blue.)

Ghost believes that powers such as China and Russia will support Iran in it's conquest of the Middle East.
