US does not have the stomach for a major war and the dotard sitting in the White House is himself saying that.
I agree,but its hard for some egotistical, narcissistic men to have a big stick, get frustrated and not use it,despite that being unwise.
This is the truth. If Iranians are thinking of fighting the war in the streets of Tehran then Iran has already lost the war.
You actually dont understand this issue either. Asymmetrical warfare does not only mean asymmetrical ground warfare. Asymmetrical warfare is primarily a philosophy or ideology, NOT A CIRCUMSTANCE like "Iranian troops fighting in Tehran". 2nd of all, US cant even get troops itno Tehran in the 1st place, so which US troops will they be fighting? sounds like a hypothetical. You started your thread good but you eventually started spewing BS like the people u also criticized. lets continue.
Iranians should visit Mosul to see what happens when you use this sort of tactics to fight your enemy.
Shut up with your irrelevant hypotheticals. Iran is too smart to end up in the unrealistic, misunderstood scenarios you expect and assume Iran will end up in.
What is the next bright idea? Fighting the US army in their bedroom?
Iranian military and leadership knows and obviously you dont. The joke is on you. US hasnt send 1 aircraft carrier into the Persian gulf yet and you're here thinking the world is just your brain's ideas? Open your mind and read on the internet.
Iraq has been smashed into oblivion and US is humming along even if the war in Iraq took more than two weeks. This is how it all turned out.
1)Iran is not Iraq
2) World and regional context are different now- US is an insecure super power who has to mainly focus on containing China vs managing Iran in PG.
In short, this is BS because its false equivalence. try better.
When the Shia militias in Iraq don't get their payments on time, they will turn to Baghdad or CIA who will once again deliver money to them in briefcases to keep the oil flowing.
PROVIDE EVIDENCE. for one, you are giving no context, so this opinion willlikely get proven to be BS. If Iraqi militias took $ from the CIA, its either extortion money or ransom payment. stop manipulating information to convince us of false crap.
This won't be the first time they have taken money from the CIA.
we are waiting for evidence of this.
Iran is not Vietnam. Vietnam was divided at 17th parallel. This allowed Viet Cong leadership complete operational freedom which they put to good use by crisscrossing into Laos and Cambodia (Ho Chi Minh Trail) to attack South Vietnam where the US Army was based. Similar arrangement is in place on the Korean peninsula which is divided at 38th parallel and allows Kim dynasty to survive. In Afghanistan, the Taliban leadership hid in Pakistan. Which country will shelter Iranian leadership? Iraq? Syria? Lebanon? Turkey? Afghanistan? China? Russia? India? Pakistan? France?
Because Iran is not Vietnam that doesnt mean Iran is at a disadvantage. You are using a fallacy here where you tell us the answer is either A or B, but in reality we could have C, D, X or Z. This is a completely different scenario, and so who has the right to say how it will turn out? surely not you because you have low or no military understanding. so once again, this is a nice theory, with 0% reality.
With Iraq and Libya, there were no such arrangements in place and in both cases the leadership was eliminated. Iran falls into this latter camp.
iran doesnt fall into any camp because in the 1st place US is too afraid to attack, so THERE GOES YOUR argument again, down the drain.
There will be no North-South Iran which will allow the regime to survive and what happened to Iraq and Libya will be Iran's fate.
Offcourse there will only be 1 Iran and Iran wont have Libya or Iraq's fates because there are too many differences, main one being Iraq and Libya did not have good, coherent, well adapted military strategies and weapons. Gaddafi barely had a decent AD over such a huge country, so once again, false equivalence here. Iraq's military was a real paper tiger due to effective US/UN sanctions that Saddam stupidly didnt adapt to.
If Iran fought like Taliban for decades then Iran will become another Afghanistan.
Another useless hypothetical.
US has been in Afghanistan for two decades which shares a border with China. What has China done?
1) buy up Afghanistan's huge mineral wealth and mines
2) Allow NATO do the dirty fighting blood work, while China rests, and prepares to take over economically.
3) Patrol and monitor the border with Afghanistan with the PLA.
4) Allow/facilitate Russia and Iran in bogging down the US(in addition to Pakistan)in Afghanistan- An America focused on other countries cant focus as much or as well on China.
Practically nothing. China and its military are paper tigers.
Is this why China now has more naval ships than US military? And working on its 3rd aircraft carrier? Another useless commment by someone with obviously low military knowledge. Because CHina isnt fighting any active wars doesnt mean its a paper tiger. Like i said before, this comment says everyhing about you and nothing about China's military.
You're welcome.
