Israeli minister alternatives to attack on Iran running out

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I am glad you support a pullout from Iraq but the truth is that we cannot even pull out of there in a hurry. We went in without thinking and now we cannot pull out doing the same. So we really will not be prepared for a war with Iran for another 3 or 4 years.

I'm pretty sure we've done this before.  We don't need to pull out of anywhere to send Iran back to the stone age.  Our B2's and B52's are not tied down Iraq.  We couldn't occupy Iran next week, but we could (and would if we needed to) totally destroy their military.

The thing is that Iran would respond in some way or more likely in multiple ways. They would block the straits of Hormuz and cause the whole world headaches. Hezbollah would start sending rockets into Israel and there could be a possible invasion of Iraq. The biggest headache would be the mahdi army in Iraq. Just imagine what kind of sh**t they would start to stir up again. I love your can do attitude, but blowing sh**t up is not always the right option.

I must say I agree. The slightest bomb falling on Iran would be the beginning of such a mess, you gave some examples.

On the other hand, if we remember 6 days war, we remember that Israel destroyed the full egyptian air force by bombings, putting this country down.

But, back on the first hand, more than the examples given by sbane, I think we can also wonder on what will Russia and China do, with Iran? Against Iran? Neutral? Especially if Iran make a resistance to US army of a few months, seeing a possible sticking of US/Coalition in Iran, so in Middle-East (Irak, Iran, Afghanistan) wouldn't it encourage them to military help Iran in the way to make fall the power of the US, pretexting some anti-imperialist actions? Is that impossible?

Still on this, I heard this morning that economists wonder more and more on the scenario of a US attack against Iran this year, and they previous if that happens a 200$ barrel of oil

Of course the US should intervene if Iran attacked Israel.  If that happened, we should send enough troops to Iran to whip it in a day.

The Empire does not have enough troops to make this happen.  Remember how the US was defeated by the Vietnamese, Ben.  America may be ruthless, brutal, and well supplied with weaponry, but brave resistance fighters can still have some success against it.

America is neither ruthless or brutal.

America can be, and is sometimes. Don't be naive.

You're right, but we rarely are.

Classic naïveté.

Sometimes, rarely, often. I would just say it has been several times and is more and more.

Naïveté is entered in the English language?

It has, though it is usually spelled "naivete". I like using the accents on my keyboard, though.

I didn't know US keyboard had accent. That's to write French words?

Thanks

It's not really practical, you have to copy each time the character you want, it has at least the merit to exist.
