Remember that time the military played war games with the Iran scenario and got it's butt kicked? Turns out the Iranian side was "cheating" by using motorcycle couriers. It's awfully hard to listen in on messages that are never transmitted.

Good times

Hey, how did the whole Afghanistan thing go? Are they speaking English and eating burgers yet?

Do you see why I lost zero winks of sleep over Iran? I suspect this could ruin Israel forever. There's no way the US could conquer them. Israel can't do it either.

Iran existed when the Romans were wearing baby diapers. It fought the Romans multiple times. Alexander never defeated it, only claimed the throne for himself.

You guys don't lose hope. I'd bet on Iran if I was a betting man. They never needed nukes in the first place.

iran indeed won't go anywhere, but regime change is always a possibility and has happened several times in the last 100 years. a relentless US-backed air campaign on infrastructure + some agitators on the ground might have the desired result. it's no secret that iran is at the weakest it's been for a long time, which is precisely why israel chose to attack, they might not get another opportunity like the present.

how weak though, i can't really gauge, plus their ties with russia and china are quite strong. on the other hand, it seems like their air defenses are practically non-existent?

i'm not placing any bets just yet, way too early to tell and we haven't really seen the scope of iran's response either, or the full scope of israel's attack for that matter

Yeah, biut remember: the last time the US pulled a regime change on Iran led directly to the Ayatollahs taking over the country.

Afghanistan? Why not mention Iraq?

Probably because the country's entire military and government was effortlessly destroyed by the United States with almost no loss of life in one night, and the only reason it took twenty days is because that's how long it took to drive tanks from Kuwait.

(Insert copy-pasted NPC drivel about what happened in Iraq 20 years after that, but the US objective was to destroy the Iraqi military and government and it 100% won, and no history book describing these events could deny it was a success.)

Iran has a military that is positively medieval. They've been working on a nuke for decades despite having nuclear allies. They can't get there because they're retarded and their allies laugh at them behind their backs.

If Russia couldn't take Ukraine, Iran will never take Israel. Russian equipment is relatively on par with Ukrainian equipment. Iranian equipment is half a century obsolete. Even Russia was too poor and stupid to invent something like the Javelin missile and even those minor edges seem to have been enough to eliminate Russia's ability to win a war, and you're going to go all--in on the sand niggers with F-14s?

Arabs are incapable of making decisions. They have no concept of the non-commissioned officer. If you kill the military elite there doesn't exist anyone able to do anything. It's why the Iraqi military ran away and surrendered and never fought back after command and control was knocked out.

As for "wargames" you sound like the kind of NPC who spams X with "Grok is this true?" posts. Your little exercise was a quarter century ago, before even the invasion of Iraq and likely was preparation for it, and how did Iraq fare then, retard? They run those wargames to *learn and adapt*, what kind of low IQ dickstain are you that you think that exercise "getting their ass kicked" is a kind of measure of future performance?

We literally invented things like Gorgon Stare *specifically to counter things like motorcycle couriers,* but knowing what Gorgon Stare is requires you to have more than a room-temperature IQ on military technology, though I'm going to bet room-temperature IQ is the best you have ever achieved on a whole host of topics. "Guys 23 years ago, a Windows 98 machine declared the US military lost, therefore the US military is impotent and powerless lol lmao".

Meanwhile you almost certainly believe the US government has genuine godlike powers to cause hurricanes and has access to space lasers for 'muh 15 minute cities' right

Iraq is flat

Iran and Afghanistan are not

You fail basic geography

Ask the Romans how to conquer Persia / Iran. They had a thousand years to figure it out. How did that go?

Who has ever conquered that region? How did they do it? Learn a little history.

Oh, and the US war games are a big deal. We lose more often than people realize. Heck, there is no path to defeating the red voters, not even with nukes. The US military can't even win at home.
