Quick history lesson.
The US armed Iran when the puppet king was in place. That turned into a mess a few years later.
The US armed Iraq when that country started to fight against Iran - We know how that turned out.
Egypt made a peace deal with Israel and, guess what, the US armed that country to the teeth.
Now the Muslim brotherhood, a party with the sworn aim of destroying Israel, looks very much like it's about to gain power.
Drrrrrr. Doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out what could very well happen next.
Iran, a country run by a government that is completely bonkers, has massive land forces and China is assisting it with air power, SAM and IT.
Several other regional powers have a fair fighting force as well.
Turkey, if dragged in, has very capable US supplied, air power.
None can defeat Israel alone but a combined force could make a serious mess even if it lost.
They've tried that a couple of times before. Didn't really work out well for them.
Arming various countries and starting a load of wars hasn't exactly been great for the US.
How many US dead in the US started wars since 1945?
I'm not anti US but your governments over the last few decades have been bloody idiots.
What country are you from? indonesia...
