Iran is decimated.

Iran was prepared to be decimated. That is why the price of oil is soaring.

Despite the lie Trump told to instigate a war for which he was not prepared and is now begging for help, Iran will still present a threat, just not an "immediate" one.

Bibi sold Trump on his "little excursion" with his own disparate agenda in mind.

The United Nations' nuclear watchdog chief says Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles remain largely in place and its nuclear infrastructure — much of it buried deep underground — cannot be fully eliminated by airstrikes, underscoring the limits of military action.​

​

Iran is believed to possess a significant stockpile of uranium enriched to 60%, near weapons-grade. That material could theoretically be used in multiple nuclear devices if further refined. ​

Strikes may set Iran back — but likely won't end nuclear program, UN watchdog chief says

UN nuclear chief says Iran's nuclear program cannot be eliminated by airstrikes alone, with uranium stockpiles and underground facilities remaining intact.

​

BOOTS ON THE GROUND was recognized as necessary before hostilities were initiated.

The 440kg HEU stockpile represents the greatest nuclear threat as it could be turned into weapons-grade uranium relatively easily. The US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has told Congress that “people are going to have to go and get it”.​

It needs to be recalled that this was the period of time when the Cold War was at it's highest in tensions an adversarial actions between the West/USA and the Iron Curtain/USSR. The Soviets were arming the Muslim/Arab enemies of Israel with weapons and military systems and the USA was doing similar to Israel.

The Arab/Israel conflicts during those decades provided a real world testing grounds for the weapons and military systems of both sides. Also was a major geo-political "battleground" between the Free World and Communism.

This in addition to being the major focus of renewed Global Islamic Jihad. One spill-over was the 1980's conflict in Afghanistan where USA and Israel faced off versus the Soviets via proxies.

Yes. LBJ deciding to replace the French as Israel's mentor really pissed off the Soviets, and the defeats of the Arab mobs invading in 1967 and 1973 made the Soviets look pretty bad, and along with the Vietnam war helped bankrupt the Soviets and finally killed the Brezhnev Doctrine off. They were on western life support from then on, even having to import western wheat and refined petroleum products. The Arabs blamed them for not giving them the latest tanks and weapons systems, but the fact is the Arab 'armies' were just feral thugs and mobs, not real armies, with the Exception of Jordan. They disintegrated into mobs of looters and rapists as soon they crossed the borders in all of their invasions. Their leaders never had much control over them in the field.

And, as many times before, they will be betrayed by Americans.
And no, as far as I know, they are not going to fight. Not now.

yeah...this is believable......

A nuclear watchdog is telling us about the U.S. capabilities?

Of course, you believe him.

To our goat population maybe.

 

[HikerGuy83]

The only way to destroy iran’s offensive threat is through regime change

Actually, it's just to bomb their military about once every two years and obliterate their nuclear program on a regular basis. Other than that......no big deal.

 

[Stryder50]

Are you attempting to say that USA leadership "means what it says?"

This USA Leadership is not ideological rigid and can flex and adjust with changing circumstances.

 

[Chuz Life]

This is a long video, but if you watch it to the end, I believe it paints the fullest picture of the situation in Iran and the U.S. involvement like no other.

 

[Stryder50]

Least expensive and most cost effective in the long run would be regime change now while the theocracy is weakened and enough of the population primed for a change.

It's a minority of the population running the theocracy and as their arms and military get reduced the prospect for successful insurgency to replace the mullahs is the best now, to date, and likely in the near future.

This USA Leadership is not ideological rigid and can flex and adjust with changing circumstances.

In other words -- this USA Leadership sways like reeds in the wind. They're chameleons. They're flip-floppers. They can NEVER be trusted to mean what they say.

Thanks a million for making my point!!!

The Cheeky Freedom Fighters do not threaten .
They just Deliver .
Tel Aviv burns

Thanks negative millions for your poor reading comprehension, distortion, misinterpretation and general pravda.
You can drop the phony conservative charade anytime Komrade.

And who said that the new regime won't be forced to become nuclear?

 

[Mac-7]

And who said that the new regime won't be forced to become nuclear?

“Forced?”

Do you mean the way Switzerland is forced to go nuclear to prevent trump from bombing them?

I say you are being melodramatic to the extreme

 

[Zavulon]

“Forced?”

Yes, forced. Iran has significant amounts of gas and oil, their geographical position of crossroad is quite attractive.
America (or any other great force) will try to steal their resources and control their territory, one way or another. And the only thing that can, more or less, guarantee independence and sovereignity in the modern world is nuclear weapon. Whatever regime you have.

Do you mean the way Switzerland is forced to go nuclear to prevent trump from bombing them?

More or less. Even with America-controlled Europe they paused their independent nuclear weapon program only in 1988. In the case of European turmoil, they are going to earn nyclear weapons in few years (may be, in few months).

I say you are being melodramatic to the extreme

There is nothing melodramatic. It's pure cold logic. Any Iranian government (if it will be sovereign Iranian government) will need nuclear weapons to deter the USA. What else can deter them?

 

[22lcidw]

We can build oil pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. A canal can be built. I guarantee you. If fuel prices remain high there will be a calling for bombing Iran into the stone age.

 

[Zavulon]

We can build oil pipelines to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.

And we can bomb them.

A canal can be built.

And we can destroy it, too

I guarantee you. If fuel prices remain high there will be a calling for bombing Iran into the stone age.

Or to make peace with Iran.

You are bouncing off walls and not making sense

Iran wants nuclear weapons so that they can attack non Shia countries

Who told you that the same ones who said Iraq had WMDs and Gaddafi was going to kill everyone in Benghazi or some Saudi guy living in a cave in Afghanistan bombed the twin towers or it was a good idea to support Al Qaeda in Syria
