That's why they're using attrition (slow degradation of a country/group's strength mostly by economic means), and they're already making China look bad by China's continued buying of Iranian oil.
Attrition cant destabilize Iran because Iran is too big, resourced, motivated and able (regionally at least). "Making China look bad"?- what weak BS is this? China is a big boy who doesnt have to seek validation from hypocritical westerners. "Making china look bad"- westerners cant even sanction China effectively. Why would China care about looking responsible to countries like yours poorer than it? Go sit down.
you see, the world is behind the need to deal with Iran given how many serious problems (violent attacks) their foreign militancy policies have caused over the past few decades,
In an absolute sense, Iranian govt is controversial and "problematic", but in a RELATIVE sense, i dont think its any worse than even NATO or US or any global power. How many innocent civilians have NATO and US killed in the past years during "anti-terrorism operations" in ME and Asian countries? Lets talk metrics, lets talk lives. Dont feed me bs. I mean , US even used nuclear tipped shells in M1A1 tanks in Iraq that led to deformities. Are Iran's support for Hezbollah, Hamas etc relatively worse than all of this? Why dont you address why so many peoples in the ME support Iran? You think Iran is using hynosis to find and recruit allies? Even the Arab countries YOUR country supports have supported AQ, ISIS, Jundollah, Jaish Ul Adl, etc. even AQAP! you guys indirectly supported them cuz they were the only effective force years ago fighting the Houth.s
and how the Iranians have publicly admitted time and time again that they don't want to stop their militant activities outside their own borders.
But what about the west supporting ISIS indirectly? stop being a hypocrite. Western countries are sitting on piles of SCARY intel they're citizens suspect they've been doing but dont have the direct evidence to confirm it. Thats why US went so viciously after Assange. You're here complaining about Iran's extra national support for militancy when 1) many countries do it so why finger IRan out? 2) You westerners have already destroyed our world through your global warming, so once again, how is this worse than how Iran behaves? I hate this about US too- They do good and some really bad things, then want to play world cop. how?
and that's what's gonna make this thing possible. patience, honesty, a good pair of balls, and time to prepare for the tasks that might lie ahead.
Lmao..you've missed your timing. You've had 30+ years to do this loooong operation, but no you didnt, cuz you know it wouldnt work. Iran has already prepared and gotten stronger, while you've gotten more hypocritical and resentful because non-white countries dont bend as easily as they used to before to US and white countries. Welcome to a more FAIR world. YOu cant even go hard on Iran now.why? 1) you have other priorities like CHina 2) You dont have the willpower or money to even mount the Operation against Iran. Iran has already shot rockets into US embassy in Iraq, detonated mines in PG against arab GCC and not one of you bich azzes have done crap. I was even surprised Iran came out this hard this early. Without US support Iran can take on most of you western countries. u all are so weak, thats why you need ALLIANCES like NATO to even exist in the world militarily.
i think western militaries, and the Israeli military too for that matter, have taken my tips to heart when it comes to what i said to them about avoiding asymettrical means to get the jobs done, but use the minimal force principle and your own Sun Tzu's top-of-the-line wisdom over here : 'winning without actual physical fights is the best form of winning', to get the jobs done, as much as possible.
LMAO. what a big dream. Why would they avoid asymmetrical means when 1) they are too weak for Iran and 2) Thats not their mode of warfare even? Whether you go asymmetrical or symmetrical, Iran will be a hard nut for any western country to fight. Get your coffins ready. You wont damage Iran without taking losses. This is why US is hesitating. The only job you can do is make Iran more broke financially. thats all. Nothing else you can do, and maybe thats why US govt is getting ancy, cuz there seems to be no real good options except giving Iran concessions for regional "peace".
blitzkrieg (quick victories by means of military force) is off the menu, as is asymettrical force (meaning : an abundance of overpowering by weapon horibbleness factors).
the Israelis these days warn their enemies and the neighbors of their enemies how and why and when they're going to strike the home of a Hamas fighter after the "usual" round of provocations lead to a short term confrontation.
Take US out of the equation and Iran will begin warfare with Israel yesterday. ISrael has no strategic depth and couldnt last a year of war without US support. GO sit down. without technology you're even worse than the Taliban. I'm on PDF these days to destroy all these dumb *** myths some people tell us.
His argument was not that.
then what was his argument?
