Date: October 8th, 2024 3:01 PM Author: Masterminding Prison Assault (No Future) They can blow shit up, sure, but there's no way in hell that they'd be able to do a ground invasion, given that they're not contiguous (and it's not like they're going to have an easy time getting through the other Arab countries to get there).

Date: October 8th, 2024 3:05 PM Author: Masterminding Prison Assault (No Future) I remember back in the Bush era when people would float the idea of striking Iran's nuclear program, and the consensus I saw in a lot of articles was that it would be very difficult to pull off. That was 20 years ago, and I'm sure they've only been digging in and reinforcing more since then.
That said, Iran would have to be very crazy or very stupid (or both) to actually *use* a nuke, or even transfer one to its proxies, since Israel would be IMO well within its rights to nuke Tehran in that situation. |

Date: October 8th, 2024 3:10 PM Author: ...........,.,.,........ i mean everyone is up in arms about a potential US war w Iran. but if this is the case wouldn't anything short of an unlikely US land invasion do jack shit? i.e., a lot of US-Israeli airstrikes wont stop the Iranians (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5608563&forum_id=2],#48177572) |

Date: October 8th, 2024 3:13 PM Author: Masterminding Prison Assault (No Future) I don't really know enough about the Iranian nuclear program or about Israeli/US capabilities to disrupt it to really say.
Boots on the ground would be a nightmare. Not going to happen.
But I'm just a gay balding lawyer so what do I really know. |

Date: October 8th, 2024 3:14 PM Author: Masterminding Prison Assault (No Future) We could defeat them, absolutely. We couldn't remotely hope to occupy it or install our own government.

wouldn't that just piss them off for 1000 years and have a new Iranian govt be extra anti-US/Israel |

Date: October 8th, 2024 3:19 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/IkQnGlr We got out asses handed to us in Iraq. In fact, right now Iraq is the only reason Israel can't bomb Iran. In 2024 who wants to pilot a refeuling tanker over Iraqi airspace? No ejection seats in those birds, and runways might get bombed while you're in the air. In 2005 we controlled Iraqi airspace no question. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5608563&forum_id=2],#48177619) |
