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

[BananaRepublic]

Well I guess we can wait and let the U.S. hit us again

Or we can be proactive and strike first

They have > 100 Reapers and a large number of Apaches, it’s not a big deal

But we likely don’t have > 100 LRAD systems

underestimating our enemies has been very costly until now

Bro, calm down.

Trump cannot escalate without crashing the US economy.

Without ground invasions - there’s no escalation ladder.

Has anyone else thought that maybe they are trying to divide the Shia factions who are allied with Iran’s world view? Kill Soleimani, Nasrallah, Khamenei etc. Weaken Iran and its allies, empower opposing factions, ie. Sadrists in Iraq. The good old divide and conquer. Any chance this is what they are doing?

I don't think they are this intelligent to plan something like that

Their strategy is just bomb everything and hope for riots to then loot everything

Anything more complicated than that is nonexistent

A stupid enemy should be easier to defeat then.

As long as it is prepared for the inevitable retaliation that would come right after.

It is better to live to fight another day, as a general geopolitical rule.

V in your handle obviously doesn’t stand for Vietnam. Because Vietnamese are brave people who not only defeated USA but scarred them for life.

Are you saying I am more intelligent than them?

I agree with you for the first time ever.

It hadn’t even worked with Sunnis like me.

No chance it working within Shiah.

Muslim civilians are united against the Satan.

You cannot have civil war unless the civilians are divided.

They are indeed brave - and smart. Look at their trade with USA now.

That is how geopolitics works. Iran may need to revisit some of its policies, that is all, and deal with this war as best as possible. Or it can decide to stay the course.

Not when they got the most powerful army in the world with the deadliest weapons

Are you saying I am more intelligent than them?

Trump has no brain

Their strategy so far has been to bomb everything and everyone and hope for regime change, and hide that behind nuclear material

I agree with you for the first time ever.

What is more dangerous than underestimating an enemy? Who would make such a mistake?

And Iran will also have a thriving trade with USA once the USA has been throughly defeated.

Iran is doing it like Vietnam.

Human history, and that of Iran included, is full of examples of a smarter army led by competent leadership defeating a much more powerful army led by a fool.

Excellent. I look forward to that day when trade between the two countries flourishes again. It would be great for the rest of the world too.

No the reason is another

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

If Trump wants to collide his brand new battleships Epstein class against the rocks of Khalije Fars good, don't alter his course.
