Fair point.
Idiot neocons again.Did they forget,how "great" their victories in Iraq and Afganistan were?
Only lasting result,except more dead americans,would be Armenia genocided by turks,becouse Iran is only country which help them now.
Well,USA muslim friends genocided christians in Iraq who lived there from Paul times,so - why not Armenia,too?
But,if madmans who plan invasion read this site,remember that - blood of armenians would be on you.

... that's what you do if you want a Part 3: Nuclear Edition. You'll need to do what we did to Germany if you want nothing worse to come out of the ashes.
We do not need, or want, to invade Iran to deal with the IRGC and Ayatollah.
All we need to do is flatten the refineries on Kharg Island and a few bombs in the roof of their reactor complexes, while sinking their navy and destroying their air forces.
The only US boots on the ground in Iran should be SAR units rescuing downed airmen, or SF units doing target designation duties.

Nukes are enough steps up that by the time they could rebuild to it on their own you'd be looking at a radically different, and thus highly unpredictable, internal political situation. If we actually stay the fuck away after bombing the entire nuclear program to dust there's a good chance that enough of them will stop giving a fuck for it to stop being our problem inside even the most generous geopolitical planning horizon.
The US does not even need to get near Iran to do it. US Navy Ships in the Indian Ocean and B52s out of Diego Garcia can launch ordinance from well outside of Iran's strike bubble.
you cant win if your leadership wont let you win.
Fact is quite a few congressmen care much much more about the lives of the people who want to kill us then the lives of our own troops and until that fact of life is finished you cant win a war.
Sure but that's not my point our invasions are always exceedingly successful at annihilating the invadees military and economic power. The failures only happen when we stay around and try to do "nation building."
Eh, geography is still a factor, and Iraq and Iran may be neighbors, but their topography is quite different, and the amount of mountain fighting needed to subdue Iran via invasion is not something any amount of political will power can overcome, without hitting the nuclear button on most of the nation of Iran.
I wasn't even thinking nation building, just the sheer physical challenges of any sort of invasion of Iran due to geographic realities.
That has nothing to do with what I just said. That is the standard attack plan for striking Iran. And has been for a while. Stay outside of their antiship anti air bubble and nail all of their military assets from far away. Has nothing to do with congress critters. Google the brief war we had with Iran back in the late 80s.
you might get the chance to slap a few ships tops, and then the Iranian government will go on doing the exact same shit.

Frankly Iran has much as a right to exist as the United States. Same thing goes for their nuclear program, especially considering the every now and then there is someone proposing invading it for the flimsiest of reasons.
America and Iran actually used to have pretty good relations, And Iran used to get along better with Israel too, its just that the current leadership is well freaking retarded and keeps pissing us off.
WTF are you on about? No one is talking about Iran "having no right to exist".
On the contrary, does Iran *need* to exist in form of a Shia theocracy with statutory ideological expansionism written into its very constitution?
Then,you still get genocided Armenia,becouse only Iran defend them now.
Either we care about genocide victims,and then we help Armenia,or not - but in that case,why help Izrael?
Indeed,Mossad and CIA helped shah torture his enemies.Iranians still remember that,and do not wish for return of those good old times.
What was good for ruling dynasty was not good for everybody there.It is something which USA seems to forget in countries they help - becouse creatures which rule there usually are not loved by people,who do not mind change.
