You forgot Chinese ICBM’s launched to protect Iran’s new oil-ex partner. Hmm which side will Russia jump in on?
Possible?
Mathematically.
Likely?
No.
No need to invade Syria, there’s nothing there.
Head of the snake is 180 degrees in the opposite direction.
If Iran uses WMD it simplifies our options.
Conventionally, they can’t project force longer than 90 days before folding up like a house of cards.
Won’t be fun, but not the end of the world.
Lot’s funner than Iran with nukes too.
I think Aegis can take Silkworms, and even a few new toys too. Air/air’s a walk. Long way from Amarah to Baghdad, and most of the world hasn’t even figured out the JSOW “pause” during OIF yet.
Biggest problem is the Strait. I see a new era in “suppression”, or else Iran getting...smaller.
I wonder if we will EMP them to kill the electronics? Cant fire missles if they all have dead boards.
