Topic: Iran Iraq war, Which country lost more ? Posted: 09-Apr-2006 at 22:27 |
the fact is that everyone in the world knew that iran would have crushed iraq.
the USA knew, western europe knew it, the USSR knew it.
when iran pushed iraq back after 2 years and then proceeded into iraq itself, the rest of the world got worried.
iraq was about to collapse, so the west and the USSR started helping iraq militarily, financially, logistically, etc....
iraq would have lost but in order to keep the balance of power in the Persian Gulf region they helped iraq.

No, not really. They supported Iraq much much much much mcuh much more, all they did was sell us kalashnakovs.
I remember propaganda pictures from teh time showed Iranian soldiers wmarching over three flags, British, American and USSR.
