I thought the Israelis would know what humiliation means when a few south Lebanese peasants sent your soldiers home in bodybags to their weeping mothers ?
Or US losing in Vietnam...or the US losing thousands of well equipped servicemen to ragtag flipflop wearing civilians armed with old rifles and stones.
If you were a American,Israeli dad or mom, wouldn't you be shocked and ashamed to know your son or daughter, despite having the best equipment and ammunition than anyone in the world have been killed by a former Iraqi taxi driver or a Lebanese peasant?
Thats incredibly shameful and a huge humiliation imo. Iran humiliated the US many times since 1980's. I wouldnt even go into the details as i have no time to write everything but will for sure do if you are cheeky enough.
They would have done it if they could when Iran openly declared war on the US government in 1980 by seizing dozens of US diplomats and military personnel.
True, US has a trillion dollar army, which can quickly turn into a 10 bilion$ organization with just 2 noor and qader anti ship missiles.
And even with a simple order now, the supreme leader of Iran can order to fire thousands of ballistic missiles into densely packed Israeli cities, leaving Israeli infrastructure cratered and paralyzed for the next decades.
Oh and there would be no warning, this time.
See my settler friend. If Iran's strategic game was based on one or two emotional and rash decisions we would have never been able to make so many friends in the region, you know.
Oh ofcourse it did nothing, just smashed their facilities into rubbles.
Sanctions dont mean anything when the government is still able to troll the US and Israel.
It also dont mean anything when the average Iranian lives on par with the average Israeli despite being sanctioned since 1980.
To correct you : You're a delusional schizophrenic if you think whats being played out on the ground RIGHT NOW is some kind of US win.
Just like how you don't need nukes to defeat a few Iraqi or Afghan peasants, right ?
Can't what ? Build nukes ? Its a 40'tech. It can easily be achieved by Iranian scientists. But the decision for making is something else.
There is no need for developing nukes, at this point, really. Not worth it considering the political opposition. What will it achieve for Iran, anyway ? We can't use them. Nukes are trash. They cant be used because no one will launch the first one. Its a imaginery weapon.
Look at that destroyed US base, that was achieved with pinpoint technology, even without armed warheads. Just empty heads.
Considering Israel's size (its 2,3 times bigger than the US airbase) , it can easily be destroyed with highly advanced BM technology.
