Iran's pupoulation is not nearly as capable and strong physically as Germany's.

They do not have the money or factories to put out the war machine that Germany did either, thank God!

You got that right. After long delays and the seizing of personal assets (money and papers) and endless body and luggage searches, some were allowed to leave. But then again a picture of Ayatollah Khomeini in your luggage didn't hurt.

I think it's kinda cute that they think they scare us with a bunch of obsolete and poorly maintained US and Russian equipment.

Sorta like when a newborn kitten bares it teeth and hisses at you in fear and defiance. Aparantly they have learned nothing from the experience of the worlds (former) fourth largest army.

"This was the exercise those journalists were traveling to cover when their plane went down earlier this week."

Sounds like things are getting off to a bad start....:0)

Tehran's jihadists are well aware of the importance of the geostrategic oil shipping lanes of the Strait of Hormuz, otherwise they would not be holding military maneuvers for it's defense.

If Iranian crude oil supertanker shipments were not able to exit the Persian Gulf, overseas customer's would switch their source for their petroleum requirements and Iran's Mullah dominated dictatorship would begin to crumble from within.

We do have various options to bring about the overthrown of the terrorist régime in Iran and blockading their exportable crude oil product, (the enemy's main $ source for promoting global jihadism) is definitely one of them.

They'd better get ready. They want to have their bomb, and we're not going to let them.....and they know it.
