Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

[ToddE]

Iran is not Venezuela. Iran is a proud 3000+ year old civilization that won't be ordered around by a nation that has existed for only less than 300 years.

Some users who keep posting here have ZERO understanding of socioeconomics, politics, history etc based on which wars are fought and won.

I agree

But that's what the U.S offered and that's what the U.S wants

It doesn't care about the regime, or the protesters, all it cares about is a compliant Iranian state, control of the resources and protecting the jews

I don't think bombing campaign can change regime. In afghanistan & Iraq they had boots on ground. They don't want to lose any soliders, so they are just in mood of dropping bombs only. This won't do the regime change.

I think they are only after Iranian ballistic missile program and the facilities / manufacturing sites where Iran builds those. They won't care much about storage facilities, they are going to target manufacturing facilities. Elimination of Iranian ballistic missile program was Israel's second priority item after Nuclear program.

Destruction of ballistic missile program is much harder. US / Israel want to damage it to an extent that It don't become a serious threat for Israel for sometime. As Iranian missile program was progressing well and was getting more advance.

Some advice

The term "regime" is used in a derogatory manner by western exceptionalist fascists to describe any way of governance or nation that does not yield to their demands.

Do not use this term and in fact use it against them I.e American regime etc etc because due to AIPAC it is a more accurate description of their very own governance processes.

The fact that we are now also using it goes to show how effective propaganda can be....

So China, which is a 4,000 year old civilization, can order around Persia, which is only 3,000 years old, if we are to accept the seniority you mention as a valid criterion?

International geopolitics is not about who can order whom around, but one of finding the best possible ways to pursue national interests, no matter by whom.

But sustained economic pressure can.

no need to sink it

enough to remove it from the battlefield

Remember the USS Cole?

Iran is 6000 years old civilization.... Elam was at its old age when achemanid came to power

The past has been and long gone. The future is not yet here. Only the present matters.

What does claimed seniority of a civilization do to help in win wars in the present?

His point was number of years old civilization is no criteria for strength of it now.

Many old civilizations even are gone and dusted. Human civilizations started tens of thousands of years ago, maybe 100,000 years ago. We don't know truly.

As far as oldest civilization present today, I searched google / chatgpt. Results shown are in below order:

1- Chinese (Oldest)
2- Indian
3- Persian

Now, ofcourse everyone would claim that they are the oldest. BTW, in Madhya Pradesh India 10,000 years old paintings are found along with other signs. So...? Anyways, how old a civilization is does not mean how it will perform in battle. British and Japanese invaded China at different times when Chinese are clearly very older civilization then these two new ones. So the whole point was bringing this argument that Iran is xxx years old civilization means absolutely nothing. BTW, religions, customs, most of stuff already updated, its another debate that is the current civilization really the one which is present today too? Because no one claims this for Ancient Egyptian civilization (10,000 years+ older, age of pyramids / oldest distinct structures of mankind till date etc).. Modern egyptians do not claim they are 10,000 year old civilization...

lol @ Indian.

Indian civilization started when Iranian farmers of Neolithic times entered Indic plains and mixed with AASI women to create IVC. Look up sound articles on genome of IVC, it was almost male 90% Iranian farmers (matched with shahre sokhta, Ganj dareh samples) lineage.

Also Iran =/= Persian. Persians are an imperial subbranch of Iranian civilization that got famous because despite being very few in numbers they created trans continental empires for a millennium and influenced culture, language, genetics of neighboring groups. Current Iran for the past 800 years is Irano-Turkic by ethnicity, culture etc. IRI is massively Turkic.

And NONE of that matters for a war in the 21st centruy.

This evil clown has attacked Iran TWO TIMES already.

If he does it the THIRD TIME, Iran should show this egotistical SOB a lesson in pain and suffering, and deal his AmeriKKKan Colonizer Navies a serious blow and destroy their Aircraft Carriers.

Can't wait to see this orange-haired delusional maniac crying and regretting his recklessness and delusions of grandeur, this White Supremacist c#nt!

Both sides have a duty to fight as best as they using all available resources. That is how wars go.
