US No Longer Has Resources to Start Full-Scale War Against Iran - Prof

[randomradio]

Talking is cheap, why do you ask them to try?

Do you know why US dares not to do anything to North Korea? Because they are afraid of China, whenever they fight a war near China,be Korea or Vietnam, as long as China gets involved , they alwary lose.

China was defeated by Vietnam as well. And the Americans were happy with the result they achieved in Korea without bringing the Soviets in.

Most wars that America chose to fight were not done at war-footing. They simply fought wars that they could afford without having to make changes to their own economy.

What that means is they fought wars on a disposable income, not a war economy.

There is a major difference from being able to go to war with a country and the pro's outweighing the cons in an unnecessary war against a country who isn't really a threat against your homeland.

Today the U.S. can easily go to war against Iran and win quite quickly using Nukes that is easily within their capability to do but there will be little to nothing to gain in doing so
The U.S. can also start an extremely costly conventional war against Iran in which they may be assured of a tactical military victory but the cost of that victory would make those gains inconsequential and a tactical military victory doesn't always equal to a victory at the end.
And there is no doubt that the U.S. can easily bomb Iranian infrastructure & military bases they can also invade from unpopulated and low populated areas from the east, west & land troops in an unpopulated area of Iran's southern coastline.
But those things don't equal to any type of long term victory in a country of 80 Million people

Now why the U.S. doesn't do this relies mostly on calculation they have made as to what Iran's response to a U.S. attack will look like and whether or not those looses will be worth the gains
Today the U.S. military industrial complex is selling over $100 Billion USD worth of it's outdated equipment (out dated in terms of what it uses it's self)
Today the governments and the leadership in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait & Saudi Arabia are all U.S. puppets with U.S. bases with vast number of U.S. business interests and by the most part they are dictatorships ruled by a handful of families
Today over 1/4 of the world oil supply flows though the Persian Gulf

So does the US have the ability to attack Iran and achieve a tactical military victory? NO DOUBT they do! Will such an attack be beneficial to U.S. interest and will they be able to maintain a pro U.S. government in Iran if they do so? NOT likely!

The diplomatic option is always the first option.

But those things don't equal to any type of long term victory in a country of 80 Million people

Regime change. That's the only American agenda for Iran. They don't need a war for that.

That's a tall claim cause both sides claim the victory,besides you don't really call a armed conflict lasted for only two weeks a war, US was there fighting for years. As for Korean war, I don't think US government or MacArthur were happy being pushed back from the Chinese border to a line half way through Korea.

Even today, after repeated nuclear threats made by North Korea, US just dares to do nothing.

The thing about Americans is they always like to keep an area boiling after they are done with it. When stuff continues boiling, their importance to the belligerents only increases. If it's all peaceful again, like the Bangladesh Liberation War, then the importance of the main power is gone, like how India was eventually sidelined from the Bangladeshi psyche simply because of peaceful borders.

Protecting Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan etc is all aimed at needling China. This keeps the American borders secure.

Vietnam was a major miscalculation. They lost the war at home first, with the public turning on the establishment. Had the Americans got their way, we would have seen a North and South Vietnam today.

It's an old imperial tactic perfected by the British. That's how they managed to keep Canada separate from the US. And that's how they partitioned India. That's how they split German into two as well.

The US is capable of going to war against anybody.

one of histories great mysteries was how a few thousand white british troops managed to enslave hundreds of millions of Indians for so long. in such an easy fashion as well with very little armed resistance. if the Indians had just taken a collective piss, They might have literally drowned the british.

its because of this collective beta slave mentality. "this enormous powerful entity is too invincible and powerful to even think about challenging for our rights. Lets just continue to live like slaves for centuries on end"

imagine where iran would be (or if it even would exist) if Cyrus had that sort of mentality?

If iran had that sort of mentality. We would not have 3-4 of the most powerful/influential empires on earth while having such a relatively small population. Surrounded by and in constant conflict with other advanced powerful and competent (for their times) civilizations.

say what you want about afghans. the only reason why its been an empire graveyard is solely because of their warrior mentality. They have absolutely nothing in terms of civilization or collective strength. except for their will to fight invaders with everything they have.

North Korea have officially said that their goal is to wipe the USA off the face of the Earth.

And the USA not only allowed them to develop nuclear weapons, but also hydrogen bombs, and ICBMs with enough range to target the American mainland.

Incredible.

If the USA couldn't stop a backwater like North Korea from developing hydrogen bombs and ICBMs, how on Earth can they stop an actual power like Iran?

The USA has been crying about Iran for decades now, let's watch them cry for a few more decades while Iran builds thermonuclear weapons and ICBMs.

Well to be honest there is no other way seeing it . China lost that war. The difference is that it took France and USA years to see they are looking but for China two week was enough to see winning that war in itself is nothing but defeat.

They are almost like begging North Korea and China to find a way out of this trouble,they have different policies toward different countries based on how tough they are.

China didn't , it lasted for two weeks and China paralyzed north Vietnam which hadn't recovered for decades, it's a punitive expedition designed to show USSR that it can't protect its ally and US that China had a clear cut off from Soviet block which enables China to knock open the western market thus ensured China embarking the ensuing economic take-off, it was a geopolitical ruse China gained today's success and what China lost?

During Vietnam border conflict ( lasted for two weeks) China deloyed main forces, 1 million strong, along the Soviet border against any Soviet adventures, the border war was never designed to last long. China does anything to fit a purpose, unlike US, fight for nothing.

It's exactly why India is big that the British managed to colonize India.

Other than that, there were still many independent princely states during the British Raj that the British did not or could not conquer.

Meh. You don't understand politics at all.

 

[bsruzm]

No resources? US has Arabs, Iranian opposition, ethnicities, Israel etc. Saudi Crown Prince already warns of a war between Arabs and Iran in 10-15 years.

Israel recently bombed Iranian personnel, also threatens to act in case of retaliation.

 

[Tokhme khar]

We've seen all they have, its a joke! They lost in Iraq and they lost in Syria, and losing in Yemen, not to mention Afghanistan. Threats to do this and that, are just helpless cries. Even lost in Donbas , Georgia, Abkhazia and Crimea and SCS. They can't do anything. Only poor people like this hendi here are scared of them.

Come on the war started in 1979 and lasted two week. why it started well majority of people believe it had nothing to do with USSR . they say it started because vietnam attacked Cambodia and ended the rule of Red Khmer who were supported by China.

Incidentally vietnam pull out of Cambodia 10 years later in 1989.
By the way some analystic believe USSR inaction during that war because China promised both USA and USSR it would be a short skirmish.And honestly you think what those 1000000 soldier would have achieved by attacking Siberia making another Napoleon or Hitler skirmish this time for China . one thing Russians knew very well is how to use scorched earth tactics in winter . also China army was a regular army not an asymetric one and USSR air force could have damaged that force drastically in open lands in Russian with China and Mongolia border.

China's goal during that war was to prove that the USSR would not fight China to protect their ally.

Are you serious?

 

[Tokhme khar]

Would you consider US interventions in Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan victories? Are you kidding us?
