Define "win a war".
The military might of the US could collapse the Iranian government in under a week with conventional weapons and cyberwarfare. 100%. Nothing short of a full declaration of war against Nato by russian and direct hostilities could stop that. Sorry but that is a fact.
Sustaining all the stuff that comes after that? Thats another case entirely. One i dont think the american people have the will for. The middle east would likely turn into one giant sunni vs #e bloodbathe.
i go back to the last posts if that were true and the us milatry machine was so over welming why you still bogged down in those inferier countrys??
Because the US has prescence... it’s a base. They do it all around the world. Plus the money to be made by the MIC.
Can you also explain how you claim Russia helped Trump in NK?
Thanks

I always thought it was funny how Japan gets so much sympathy for WWII and not the Germans, when Japan was committing war crimes against the Chinese, Koreans, and other SE Asian people just as terrible if not more so than the Nazis
Also, if Russia was such great allies with the west why was Churchill trying so hard to get the allied powers to take out Russia after the nazis were defeated?
You sure do seem to mix in a lot conjecture and speculation in with your "facts".
Those must be some of them alternative facts we hear about so much.

unlike america we dont try to change our history to fit the argument unlike usa, we accept our mistakes and learn by them
we were just as bad as the germans in our prison camps so we are no angels and never claimed to be,
history is there for a reason, to learn by bad mistakes and try not to make them again,
its a concept the US cant understand thats why you tear down your statues of great leaders in your history and burning your flag thats suppose to mean so much to you, try that stuff in our country and see how far you get before joe public strings you up..YOU cannot change history no matter how much you try

Depends how you look at the situation, Iran is a powerful nation regionally wise, so are the surrounded or entrenched?

lets have some fun with this...
america keeps Threatening a war with iran when they have never won a war to date??
with that in mind .
why waste billions of dollars of army equitment and thousands of lifes milatry and civilians and destroy whole citys which america will pay to rebuild afterwords just to try to win their first war in history ??
is it worth all that to try to get something you know you will never have ??
you must remeber you are the youngest country in this battle, that you belittle other countrys that will not support this, just remeber the countrys you belittle are alot older and wisser when it comes to war, so they are not so eager to indulge your fantasy of getting your first war victory....
NOW LET THE BATTLE OF WORDS BEGIN
Didn't they win the "first" war they fought - the revolutionary war?
i think if you read your hitory before they change it yet again the mercinarions won that battle only 25% were american
