Maybe they just want to grab a little piece of Iraq for themselves.
So now Iran sends in its own military versus just terrorists. Say hello to Iranq.
This is the start, if its true.
All along, I have been writing that we (the west) have been waiting for Iran to come across the border. They are Shia and will be next on the ISIS hit list.
The Iranians are not fans of the US, but they are a western style army and will kick the crap out of ISIS.
All this crap could have been avoided if the Zero Admin would have left a small contingent of USA military in striking place in Iraq. They could have crushed ISIS before they got a foothold in Iraq. Now with Iran getting involved its all fluxed up even more.
Iran embarking on huge land conquest
See how tht goes...
My, non-tanker, opinion is that this could turn out bad for the Iranians if ISIS captured any decent number of M1 Abrams (which I thought I heard they did) Desert storm proved that M1’s can destroy arbitrarily large numbers of T-72s and an M60 isn’t a whole much better than a T-72. Hopefully, that only works with real American tank crews.
We have the weapons to destroy this ISIS roach invasion but instead are using the fly swatters on a few here and there. General Patton would know what to do and then get it done.
The Islamic Swine forces have some Russian tanks in addition to Abrams. We don’t know how many are ex-Iraq Army and were trained by the US.
They may also have some moslem brotherhood volunteers from Egypt with experience on the 1100 plus Egyptian Abrams.
