“If some junior, demented Iranian “revolutionary guard” officer, decides to” follow his orders from the Supreme Leader and launch a series of Iranian ICBMS with nuclear warheads at NYC, Chicago, and other large cities, it no business of ours. Just sit back and take it since the Great Nothing that came before DJT said we can absorb several nuclear strikes without the need to respond.
Just leave them be - we have no national interests anywhere out side of the continental US.
And no the Israelis could hurt the Iranians somewhat, but cannot take on Iran and “win” - no matter what you imagine, its just not a military reality.
Amusing. You base your argument for endless American entanglements in the Mideast that Iran is a greater existential threat to the United States than was the Soviet Union, modern China or even today’s still nuclear armed Russia. Sorry but that argument just does not hold water. It is inevitable that Iran like India and Pakistan, in order to discourage another massive Sunni invasion of its territory will obtain nuclear weapons. No nuclear armed nation has ever experienced a conventional invasion of its territory or been forced into an unfavorable peace. Yet if they were to use them as a first strike weapon, then they know their culture and country would be destroyed.
The world is not as we may like it. But these endless entanglements beyond our real security needs have been fruitless and debilitating. Americans cannot force their values, institutions and practices on culturally alien peoples by force of arms. If you think about it, given the internet, modern communications technology, the allure of popular culture and exposure to ideas that cannot be censored, the reform of these medieval backward places will come slowly from within. The American military presence and use of force not only slows the process but it is counterproductive. It forces the American people to make sacrifices in blood and treasure and does little or nothing to enhance the security of the United States
Try to understand that it is the globalists that are at the core of Trump hatred since they are so threatened by his America first instincts..
