Greetings people, I have a question for you if you have some time to spare.
I am from Croatia and one of our most famous journalists recently stated that entire shitstorm that is happening in Levant is all just beginning of USA attack on Iran. For you know follow all this, what are your thoughts on his opinion?
Nicholas Gomez
So i keep thinking about this, and i wonder if it will work out in the end? I mean just by looking at it it looks like a disaster waiting to happen.. But maybe?

Does the changing of who is the heir in KSA mean anything at all? Was the nephew or the new prince friendly with Qatar or not or all they just puppets of the US anyway.

It's basically impossible for US to attack Iran. In the best case US would've suffered unimaginable casualties and had to retreat with huge money and lives lost, in the worst it's nukes buddy.

They're almost like the Switzerland of the Middle East without the neutrality. They can sit back and fuck around all they like because attacking them for any player is extremely costly and would make any victory if possible a pyrrhic one thanks to their natural defences.

Reposting this from previous threads:
>Mohammed bin Nayef was not believed to have played a significant role in Saudi and UAE-led efforts to isolate Qatar for its alleged support of Islamist groups and ties with Iran.
>He also holds the post of defence minister more than two years into a Saudi-led military intervention in neighbouring Yemen.
>As defence minister, the prince supervises the Saudi-led coalition’s operations in support of the Yemeni government against Al Houthi rebels who took over the capital Sana’a in a coup in 2014.
>In remarks aired on Saudi TV in May, Mohammed bin Salman framed the tensions with Iran in sectarian terms and said it is Iran's goal "to control the Islamic world" and to spread its Shia doctrine.
>He also vowed to take "the battle" to Iran.
>“He has a reputation for being aggressive and ambitious,”
It is so close to the Jordanian border so everything that the rebels want, they can get almost instantly. Medical treatment (fuck, just cross over to Jordan and get treated there), ammunition, vehicles and vehicle repairs, new equipment.
Not to mention the rebels have been digging in for years, Daraa being the ideological capital of the revolution.
Yeah, pretty much. It's a really big country, with perfect defensive terrain, large military-capable population, war-like attitude towards invaders and straight XXI century technology, so agreed, it's virtually impossible to conquer them in conventional way.

Does it mean Albunian Almasours is going to be the target from the Jordanian side? Would've been a great development for SAA.

Jackson Ward
Not to mention coups and colour revolutions are pretty much off the menu as well as they've more than enough experience and expertise in keeping them under control. But then desu even economic warfare is pretty ineffective as it'll only do so much damage with China to counteract any Western sanctions and offer a limit to the amount of damage done by having their own strong trade links and dependency on Iranian oil and gas.
One of hte best defensive countries in the world?

This. Not ruling out future attempts many years from now, but not anytime soon. If anything the US regime will just to continue to build up bases and posture aggressively towards them without actually doing shit.
Mason Bennett
>One of hte best defensive countries in the world? I wouldn't take it this far, but it's a very important stabilization factor for the middle east, being a fantastic buffer for all radical movements, yet radical itself to the point of resisting dangerous foreign influence. Personally I also enjoy that they're not Arabs, and the Zoroastrian past was great too. To sum up, for me there's not many bad things I could say about it, if any at all, and their geopolitical importance should be growing over time, bringing stabilization of the region with it.

I'd rather a less heavily Islamic Iran, and more of an extremely nationalistic state to be fair.
I'm not Iranian, but the whole "Islamic Republic" thing just leaves a bad taste in my mouth to praise.
Asher Roberts
Iran is less hardcore Islamic than other Islamic Republics. Anyone from my company based there doesn't want to leave. Not saying thats a brilliant indicator but it says something.
Brayden Martinez
sorry for being neet... what little shithole is this pic?
Nathaniel Richardson
Read a bit what caused the 1979 happening, and how did it change the country. Honestly I'd love Iran to be Zoroastrian again, but that obviously won't happen. Reasons: very rare combination of "cosmogonic dualism and eschatological monotheism". Unprecedented occurance in world's history.
Dominic Stewart

that's Mosul, I think it will be liberated any time now
Jackson Anderson
Maybe with time and enough attitudes would change enough to create one. No return to monarchy but a newer generally strong civic nationalist government with some ethno-centricism mixed in.
But then that said having a relatively hardline Shia country isn't so bad compared to fundamentalist Sunni ones that cause far more shit for the wider world beyond the Middle East.

Punishment for stuff like Apostasy is something I can't fully support though. I understand they're better than say, the Saudis. But I'd rather they still better themselves. Maybe that can happen in future.
I give it at least two weeks. Raqqah will be quicker than Mosul. The Old city is a fucking bitch to try and attack.
Dominic Lopez
They still do retarded shit in terms of civic rights and such. I wouldn't discredit Iran's islamist side (even though it's not really expansionary). Khomeini was especially bad and a complete fanatical retard.
John Clark

If the US wanted to they could take Iran 10 times without using WMDs

That is the geopolitical background to this conflict as I understand
