Excellent discussion on the ME tinderbox.

Hamas is on the verge of achieving their goal. A broader regional war. They have also succeeded in getting world opinion on their side due to Netanyahu's overreaction.

Before that they could sink 10's of merchant ships and fuck over world trade.

If they go full war it would involved mechanized units.

No, they couldn't. If the President gave the order, Iran's Navy could be eliminated in a matter of minutes.

Mechanized Units? OMG!

Like the Russian mechanized units that were slaughtered early in the invasion of Ukraine, and whatever remained stay very, very well hidden?

Those mechanized units? The U.S. Air Force can also eliminate them in a matter of minutes.

It's only a question of the willingness of the President to use force.

We have no desire for war with Iran, despite the fact that they are at war with us.

The biggest obstacle to victory in our confrontation with Iran, like Ukraine, is the traitorous Republican House of Representatives. They would gladly see the U.S., Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan lose if it meant that they would gain politically.

The order would come AFTER the Iranian units got their first strike in.

Again, after they had done damage already.
