Iran army ready and self-reliant: US military analyst

Problem is when the shit goes down they ain't gonna be no drones bombing Iran, but the real deal. Of course they may send some in as Iran is tied up trying to deal with the real fighter jets. And to an extent, yes the U.S could be looking at a dire situation if it tries to occupy Iran, but if they merely want to bomb the hell outta their infrastructure and leave them in ruins there's not much Iran can do about it and most of the destruction to the infrastructure will be done and over with before Russia or China can find the keys to its war machine.

However, I agree if we go there to occupy then it could be as bad or worse than Vietnam. And doing so would allow the chinese n russians to show up in time to kick off ww3. Both scenarios would be very bad for all involved and diplmacy would be much better, but we know that ain't happening.

Anyone comparing the Iraq/Afghanistan conflicts with a conflict with Iran, with or without their allies, happily display their total and utter cluelessness with us.
You're the ones making the western powers look like cavemen these days... Go back to Modern Warfare 3 or wherever you guys get the inspiration for your ignorant BS.

Thankfully the US forces in general don't share your stupidity... Haven't been doing that for years btw... For a reason...

And btw, pls don't join the armed forces... We don't need your tactical console fantasies against an enemy who excels at strategy...

Just using the drone example of their technical capabilities, i mean, who else could do that? and if they can land that drone, that was supposed to be THE lastest STEATH drone of the US, well, thats quite a feat, first of all they would have to detect it (which kinda puts the US F117 and B1 bombers into question) then hack into it, then somehow override the controls and land it...

Sounds to me that they are more than ready for the "real deal" the S 300 AA system is nothing to be sniffed at, it would make mincemeat out of non steath aircraft and maybe steath as well judging how they managed to detect the steath drone.....just sayin..

Im pretty sure China could find other people who need toaster ovens etc after they bring us down.

Sure, but you're talking about 1 slow moving drone. How they gonna handle hundreds of fighter jets at one time? I don't think it'll fare to well for them and we ain't even talkin about all the missles being fired from ships hundreds of miles away.

Also rumor has it, it wasn't Iran that hacked the drone, but the chinese. I'm sure they'll still have them at their disposal, but again between the planes and missles flying from the ships that's a bit much.

I personally pray it never happens, but being real about it if it does go down I'd rather be anywhere, but Iran.

that attitude seems to have worked out well for afghanistan..

lmao.

what like Iraq? you mean, the difference between Afghanistan and Iran, Afghanistan is bascially a lawless country, Iran on the other hand is very much like Iraq, it has government structure in place, Iran would fall fast, just like Iraq did.
You remember the Iran and Iraq war from the 80's neither country could defeat each other, how long did it take NATO to take Iraq down, the same would happen to Iran....

Also I do not believe in a second it would cause WW3, do you really think Russia would put its people. its cities in hamrs way just to protect them (the Iranians) all Iran is to Russia is a trade partner, they would lose a dam site more than the trade if they turned on Nato, (all so include the Arab league in that).

And as for China, China doesnt give a toss, their focus has moved away from the middle east, their baby is now Africa

GO to press tv and read about the BIG meeting
coming up between Iran, Syria Gov, and, YES
Syrian resistance leaders... they are
going to be on the same side vs the Zionist
Regime.

wrong, the problem with Afghanistan it is and will always be a lawless land, it never had any proper government before the invasion, they have no really structure to their country, Afghanistan is very much a unique country, it has my heads like a serpent, you cut one head off another grows, Iran is different, it is a modern 21st Century country, a country with a government, you hit any structured country, and it will fall, just like Iraq did.

You can't compare Afghanistan with Iran

So many Statements, but no reasons to your Statements

Fancy explaining more to us, where you are coming from please

They might, america is ready to default on it's debt and it's currency is ready to crash.

yeah that is why Iran and China are trading oil in euros right?

China has enough of its own problems, Chinese people in general are very reclusive people, always have been, always will be, China look to defead, not to attack, look at Taiwan, if they wanted to and could, they could just take the island when ever they want, but they wont, Chinese dont like conflict.

They sure as hell won't stick there necks out for a alien race from the middle east, nor would they attack the US, as this would be attack on the west and most of the world, aint going to happen.

China's import of Oil is down by some 75% from Iran, China is looking else where for importants, any trading in euro's is purely to get around any sanctions, and this loophole is also now been stopped, as the europe took some 7 weeks to follow suit with the US, old news.

China is activitly now speaking with arab league countries to replace Iranian oil,

Yawn, been here before, got the t shirt, Iraq was the same, had the best money oil could buy from Russia, the best air defensive systems that were available, well they were useless when the US Airforce and the RAF came knocking, since then yeah Russia have improved there systems, but do you think US and UK technology hasnt improved too?

Russia is twenty years plus behind us,

2 paper tigers...fuck em.

Just like in Iraq...China will mind it's business and sign better deals with a new regime.

What a dumb fuck you are..

The Arabs know very well Israel is just a smokescreen and they are the ones aimed by Iran.

Just check their military expenses.. Professor.

so why can't the US and ISAF defeat a bunch of goat farmers in afghanistan ?

yep..

well minus the fcuk lol, couldnt but it better myself, how many statements over the last few months have come out of China regarding Syria or Iran.....None because they have moved on looking for new opportunities!

Big fucking Navy and Airforce spectacle...lol

IMO the reason Iran is not worried about Israel or the US is because they have a 'super power' in their corner. Maybe Pakistan, maybe China, Maybe N.Korea, heck could even be from S. America for all we know, but they have something up their sleeve. Not to mention he WANTS to bring about WWIII for the 12th Imam.

They might think they're good at chess....but they can't bluff or play poker.

They are fucked. Good riddance.

ok Mr. Smart on Iraq, let me pose this question. Why is it in a country that has public hangings for simple things like theft, was Sodamn Insane hung in private with jhis face covered?

First off I aint smart on Iraq, and secondly the hanging was down not under Saddem, it was done through the new Iraq Government, I would have thought, they wanted to show some mercy to him for the outside world and as for the private part, I would have though it would have been a lot easier to manage the hanging then letting every iraqi that been done wrong by him turning up to see him hanged in public.

well so far US asses were give to them in platter by Iran many times. If it was with other mid-east nation US would jump into war in jippy and for less. Remember when US warned saddam that attacking its recon aircrafts and drones would be answered swiftly by US and similar things happened. But with Iran US does not dare to attack, even after US forces were captured many times by Iran and shown on Iranian tv and US drones were shot down or shot at and other incidents. US does not have the mean or ball and capability to engage in a deadly war with middle east number one super-power (even pentagon hint at this) that Iran is.
