It’s an interesting point, but I think geography is important here (logistics and supply).

If Iran needs tanks, they can get them in 24 hours. Whatever they need (S-300 missiles, for example0, they can get it fast. In time-zone training and technical support for anything they buy. They can bus military people over the border to be trained if they want.

Obola has conceded both the Ukraine and Iran. The Ukraine is one thing - we missed our opportunity to arm the Ukrainians to the teeth when we had it. Georgians too.

Iran? I think the idea here is to support the strongest Islamic state in the region and let them roll south. I’m more convinced that perhaps Obola and the Russians talked and said, “Everyone wants Israel dead, and between you, us, and the Iranians there is enough oil in the world for everyone. Let’s let Iran be the regional superpower for a change and we can solve multiple problems all at once (Saudi, Egypt, Israel - plus Syria)”

I have zero to support this, but why give them all that money, assent to letting them build the bomb, and all but take them off the terrorism watch list?

It wouldn’t surprise me if very suddenly all this stuff ISIS is doing stops suddenly. Iran got what it wanted. They will concentrate on taking over its neighbors (especially a dramatically weakened Iraq) and there will be one power in the Middle East.

If they start talking about bringing home the tank division we have in SA, then you’ll know this is what’s going down. I think the 6th tank division is there now. An entire division. If we go the repatriation route with SA, then this is where it is going.

Totally spiffballing here, but I don’t see another logical explanation. I think the US thinks Iran isn’t a legitimate continental military threat to us, and if the Russians are for it, why not - especially if it takes out Israel - which is a political thorn in the side of Democrats.

This would be the mother of all troop pullouts - bring home the tank division and naval assets from Dubai and Qatar and then start cutting military divisions. Use the money to lock in a permanent socialist state here at home. Butter over guns, forever.

This isn’t far from what Rand Paul’s advocating either. It will get support from the moron wing of the libertarian party too. The only service Paul digs is the USCG. I’m surprised he doesn’t have a bong at his desk.
