That's fine. Make sure they nuke DC though.

Wouldn't make sense. You don't nuke your allies.

^^ Truth. How did they get that uranium, you ask? cough Obama cough

Instead of cash, Biden may just ship them nukes

Where do you think the uranium they're using came from?

U1. So, us via the Russians.

Durrrrr, that's just a conspiracy theory. It's not like uranium was actually exported out of the country against the original contract, shipped to Europe, and lost somewhere "around" Kazakhstan.

Now correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t it have been a good idea not to have funneled billions of dollars in cash to a regime hell bent on creating a nuclear bomb?

And what President and his band of merry faggots gave them the money to do it?

Whats actually shocking is they keep TRYING to make their actions sound legitimate. Why not just say at this point, " hey we hate you plebs, so where going to start random wars to kill some of you off and line our pockets with kick backs from the military industrial complex". I could at least respect them a little if they where honest about their evil.

The US military war gamed a US/Iran war, seven times I believe, each time the US loses. Iran can wipe out every US encampment, ship and ally in the region before significant damage is done to it.

Iran has said that if attacked by ANYONE it will take out Israel in under fifteen minutes. I think the time line now is eight minutes.

Someone may be stupid enough to try, Israel perhaps.

This is just not true. Maybe Iran can take out the patrol ships immediately adjacent to Iranian waters, but there's no scenario where they "win" a war against the US. Iran also isn't taking out Israel in 8 (or 15) minutes. Even if they had multiple working ICBMs it would take them longer than 8 minutes from being attacked to launching missiles. The US doesn't even have close to that response time.

This is Iranian shilling if I've ever seen it.

Nope, this info was in a War College report I read a while back will look for the link when I have a minute.

This is the one I read about the wargame:

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a30392654/millennium-challenge-qassem-soleimani/

As a nobody, I assume that if I learn something like this, the actual people who can do things about it have known for years

Very true, and the US has not attacked Iran, yet have attacked everyone else in the region. You have to ask yourself why :)

During obama they had emp weapons on ships in the Atlantic shipping lanes.in the end it depends on what china wants now.

If you believe that Iran can take out Israel, you're a fool. They are stone age compared to Israel's military.

I re-read your comment and you are indeed a fool. The US would obliterate Iran back to the amoeba stage. Iran has zero chance against the US.

2
somethingnew 2 points ago +2 / -0

I don't disagree about the US, but Iran can definitely take out Israel if it was one on one. Of course, this is assuming that Iran obtains nukes because otherwise Israel would just wipe them out with their nukes.

Iran's military might not be anywhere near as powerful as Israel's, but even with the technological advantage, Iran is the favorite because of sheer numbers. The Israeli military is tiny compared to Iran's.

I would put my money on Israel. Israel actually has nukes. If Iran attacked Israel they would launch dozens of nukes in response. Being that Iran has for years been saying they want to wipe Israel off the map, I doubt Israel would allow Iran to develop nukes. If Israel ever believes Iran is close to nukes they will attack Iran with or without the US.

Numbers don’t matter much anymore. Tech is way more important. 1 stealth bomber can do more damage than 100,000 troops with AKs.

Iran has been close to a nuke for decades now, I don't know how you would quantify "close"? A week away from developing a nuke? a month? a year? a day?

Anyway, this assumes that Israel is somehow an all knowing entity which knows all the secrets of Iran and would know that Iran is x amount of time away from developing a nuke and would step in to stop them. In reality, the most likely scenario is that Iran would keep that hidden, would have multiple independent efforts at enrichment, and at least one of them could be kept hidden until their nukes are ready. In the meantime, they are working on their ballistic missiles and already had ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear war heads since at least 2018: souce

That is true, but you are overestimating the technological gap between Iran and Israel. If a war broke out, it wouldn't be stealth bombers vs guys with Aks. It would be more like 90s to modern soviet tech (plus a bunch of shit they copied from the US during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars) vs Israel's top of the line tech.

Meanwhile, Iran has about 6x the active soldiers Israel has and about 10x the population.

If they were close to having nukes in the 80s but still don’t have nukes they weren’t actually close to having nukes in the 80s. If they were weeks away from nukes 10 years ago but still don’t have them they weren’t weeks away from having them in 2010.

I’m sure they will get them at some point if we don’t do something, but it isn’t now. I also don’t think Iran is nearly as powerful as this thread is making them out to be, being able to dominate the US in a war. My god we killed one of the most revered, honored, and powerful people in the country’s history and they barely mustered a response. Can you imagine if Iran killed a legendary American hero that was currently the Secretary of defense or something? We would immediately go to war. They basically did nothing. I think that might have been when they shot one of their own planes down by mistake when trying to attack back. That is not the response of a country that thinks it would push back the US if it came to war.

I never said Iran can win a war with the US, I just said they could win against Israel if no one else intervened (which is unlikely because the US would almost certainly intervene).

Afganistan was winning a war with the us.

It was a War College report that said this, it is not my view. Will see if I can find it.

Stone age? Yet they did this. I always keep an open mind, the Titanic was unsinkable, remember how that went...

I read something similar a few years back I'll try and find it. A general in the wargame playing as the Iranians used some clever yet obvious tactics and wrecked the US so bad they had to restart the game.

Yes and they changed the rules so he had to do what they said instead of being creative which was how he won the first time.

To his credit, he quit. This is the game:

I heard something like that before too, I don’t believe it.

I heard the same kind of story about some other US vs war game against Norway or Sweden and that they destroyed the US. Again, don’t believe it.

I look at it this way. Iraq was considered the 4th most powerful military in the world when Saddam was in power. More powerful than Iran. We bitch slapped them easily in desert storm. The mismatch was literally laughable. Then in the Iraq War we overthrew the entire government in like 2 months. Iran would be the same.

That's what we need, another endless war in the middle east! That will keep the generals, politicians and pentagon happy while our sons, brothers, and fathers die.

The solution for that is to stop enlisting. Let the libs and their elite ovelords send their own sons to die in their dumbass wars

They were just about to turn the corner on nukes for years and years, and Obama finally had to send them the money, material, and diplomatic cover to make it happen.
