"With the experience and skills from that war and in the case of any invasion, the invaders will be defeated in less than one and a half months."
I'm still trying to understand this logic. I'm not quite sure how defeating an enemy over the course of a one and a half year war with a large number of casualties translates into defeating a nation (in one-thirteenth of the time, mind you) that crushed the same country twice in a matter of weeks with minimal losses.
I suppose, looking at the broader picture of this comment, the Iranians are blustering to keep forces of unrest at bay in their own country. It's meant to convince would-be revolutionaries that the US won't intervene on their behalf if they act out against their regime. Of course, the real reason we most likely would not act out is due to the fact that we have socialist elements in our own society that cry bloody imperialism whenever a Republican administration acts to facilitate regime changes in foreign nations, making such actions somewhat politically unviable.
It's all the same to the Iran government. They'll just keep telling their people that we're afraid to act.
Don't they have TV in Iran? They probably only get CBS.
Our response:
We have 5 nukes targeted at Tehran and 2 for Qom. After you "astonish" us, your people will have 12 hours to vacate before they are obliterated.
What?....they will all fart at once?
I doubt the US would nuke Iran. then again, I doubt that isreal wouldn't if iran picked a fight with them
The only thing I can remember here is the warnings that were given us about how NO ONE had ever conquered Afghanistan.
Hard for me to credit these warnings with that memory so fresh in my mind...
The Iranians need to remember that we are not the Russians, the French or the Brits...
Might be a good idea to not piss us off, considering the number of VERY capable forces we have within a short drive of Tehran, and that their own people are likely to throw flowers...
Foreign born ingrates like you came to a nation already built up for you. That people worked for, fought and died for unlike you and your family. Many active military and vets post to this board so shut your mouth. A black person on welfare has more right to be here since her ancestors slaved away and worked hard to make America what it is
You should consider yourself lucky the United States let your family in after your glorious Persian people allowed Iran to become a Muslim run cesspit. Where else were you going to flee to? Iraq, to Germany or France?
Do you live in the USA or Iran?
And the streets will run red with the blood of the infidels, yada, yada, yada.
Japanese are definitely worthy of respect. They hang together and have high IQ. Their traditional culture is on a high plane.
Yes, the fifth columnists here at home make things difficult, but let us keep in mind the 'yearnings and aspirations' for freedom our President is always talking about. What this translates to is, yeah the Iranian people mostly want something resembling representative gov't with elections, a real legislature and a secular, independent judiciary. But they have to do it mostly themselves, otherwise their 'aspirations' will be gratis that old ogre, the USA, with lots of unavoidable casualties and destruction in the process. In other words, we can't just invade, even if the American public were solidly behind it.
I think Iran is a lot like Cuba. We just have to wait for the old regime to crumble and be there to provide 'logistical advice' (nod/wink), just not too open about it. I expect to see in my lifetime a free Iran, Cuba, maybe even N Korea.
Perhaps it's fiction but the scenario could easily be real and just waiting for an attack to set it in play. No one saw airplanes into buildings as a way to fight a war and no one can yet tell us where all the Soviet nukes are.
Unfortunately, I don't know his real name, but I am almost sure that he was an olympic medalist in wrestling.
"We pushed the Baathist enemy from our country within one and a half years," he said, referring to the opening campaigns of the 1980-88 war with Iraq.
Yes, twenty year old tactics and equipment mean so much!
Just ask the French.
Or the Afghans.
And the Iraqis...
lol
people like you are just funny. I love laughing at you!
Seems Nazism still exists.
Nope, I neither live in the states nor in Iran...!
I heard he was not Iranian
And if these foreign born people leave your country, your country cant do any thing at all... lol
