War with Iran?

Timothy Birdnow

War draws near with Iran.

Why Does Hardly Anyone Seemto Realize that We are Literally on the Brink of War with Iran

While I suspect Iran would not be as tough as the author seems to believe I do know it would be a lot harder to invade Iran than Iraq or most other countries. The population of iran is almost 91 million (double that of Iraq), and she has a solid economic base thanks to oil. The Iranians are well educated too. And geographically Iran is defensible; a series of high mountains surrounding the interior plain have always made it hard to invade. Shoot; the Romans never could subdue Iran (then known as Parthia) and that was the most powerful military on Earth.

So it wouldn't be a cakewalk, although being a third world country Iran should fold militarily fairly easily to us (the guerilla war will be the big problem). Taking Iran will definitely be easier than holding it.

Not that taking it would be all that easy.

The sad thing about this is that Obama and then Biden fumbled the ball in handling Iran, to the point where ther is no longer any wiggle rooms with them. (Bush flubbed it up too; he should have invaded Iran and not Iraq.) We've had thirty years of bad policy that has allowed Iran to reach the point where we no longer have good options for dealing with her.

At any rate we are facing a grim prospect - either let Iran have nukes or try to kick the can down the road again and hope it buys more time. That seems to be what Trump is trying to do right now.

The whole world increasingly resembles the Titanic when the passengers went out and collected iceberg ice for their cocktails; it was a wonderful party and they danced until the ship was sinking. The party is now over and the ship is sinking.

Is it any wonder Trump is so eager to end the Ukrainian war now? He needs to get Russia out of the mix so he can deal with Iran. Russia and Iran are close allies. If it comes to war Russia could well go in on Iran's side. Trump needs them to stay out of this.

These are grim times.

1 I may be wrong about this (I have been, once or twice in my life) but I'm going to stick my neck out and say "Watch for Trump to include a proviso about Russia keeping its nose out of any excitement that happens with Iran, Israel, and any of Israel's allies (like the U.S.) if things turn exciting in that part of the world." There'll have to be something in it for Putin, of course, because Trump is a consummate deal-maker, and whatever it is, it will be worth it to Putin. I can't predict what it'll be, but...
