| Exposed: Iran's Super Strategy to Crush America in a War |
| 2015-06-21 |
| [National Interest] However, it goes much deeper than that--namely, while Iran's military is greatly inferior to the U.S. armed forces, the U.S. military would not be able to conquer Iran swiftly and cheaply like it did in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, Tehran would be able to impose prohibitive costs against the U.S. military, even before the difficult occupation began. Iran's ability to defend itself against a U.S. invasion begins with its formidable geography. As Stratfor, a private intelligence firm, has explained, "Iran is a fortress. Surrounded on three sides by mountains and on the fourth by the ocean, with a wasteland at its center, Iran is extremely difficult to conquer." While the "stopping power of water" has always made land invasions far more preferable for the invading party, the age of precision-guided munitions has made amphibious invasions particularly challenging. As such, the United States would strongly prefer to invade Iran through one of its land borders, just as it did when it invading Iraq in 2003. Unfortunately, there are few options in this regard. On first glance, commencing an invasion from western Afghanistan would seem the most plausible route, given that the U.S. military already has troops stationed in that country. Alas, that would not be much of an option at all. |

| #10 Again, IRAN = CHINA = RUSSIA, Other? = GREATEST SINGLE ADVANTAGE OR "ACE" AGZ THE US IS HAVING A DEDICATED ANTI-AMERICAN AMERIKAN = US-N-ONLY-US [strategic = self/unilateral/asymmetric] "RETREAT/PULLBACK IS OWG + WORLD PEACE" ANTI-US US GLOBALIST IN THE WHITE HOUSE. Again II, POTUS Obama = #1 on the National Command Authority heiarchy - as such the Bammer is the Man + US National-POlitical Leader MOST RESPONSIBLE FOR ORDERING ANY + ALL US MILITARY RESPONSES TO ANY CRISIS OR CONTINGENCY AROUND THE WORLD, OR IN THE ALTERNATE THE LACK OF SAME TO SAME. [OBAMA'S MSM-NET, PERT-VERIFIED "MINIMALIST" APPROACH TO US FOREIGN POLICY here]. "NONE DARE TO CALL IT TREASON", CORRECT? DON'T FEAR GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA - FEAR MORE HIS GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR! |

| #9 IRAN = PHILIPPINES, VIETNAM = IN A WORSE-CASE SCENARIO, ALLOW THE US [China + PLA] TO INVADE THEIR COUNTRIES DIRECTLY + THEN WAGE "PEOPLE'S WAR/GUERILLA WAR" AGZ SAME??? The above being said, Iran is now the Bammer + aligned OWG Globalists' BFF or Best Frenemy Forever agz AQ Affiliates + the ISIS - in the Globie view or agenda, THERE IS NO NEED FOR WAR between the US + Iran. Thus far, Iran on its part has been making "all the right moves" to deter US Milaction(s) agz it + its NucProgs. IN THE CONTRARY, THE BAMMER = USA WANTS + NEEDS IRAN TO HELP FIGHT AQ + THE ISIS/ISIL IN THE ME, IN LIEU OF US TROOPS = MIL ACTION. * FUBAR/SNAFU > IRAN ASIDE, ANTI-US US GLOBALIST POTUS OBAMA + ALIGNED HAVE NOT YET ANSWERED THE QUESTION ON JUST HOW MANY ARAB-MUSLIM NATIONS ARE DESIRED ANDOR ACCEPTED TO GO NUCLEAR VEE ISRAEL OR EVEN IRAN??? * FYI GROONG > [Fars News Agency] SAUDILEAKS NO. 9: SAUDI FOREIGN MINSTRY CABLES REVEAL QATAR'S PLOT AGZ [Saudi-supported] YEMEN. SUNNI-VS-SHIA RIVALRY, NATIONAL + GEOPOL INEQUITY INCLUDING NUCLEAR INEQUITY may be what finally drags Anti-US OWG Globalist Amerika into a war agz its OWG Globalist Co-Superpower sibling Iran in defense of its traditional ME Sunni allies agz Iran. Rising Iran = Rising China = similarly needs to get the US or US-Allies out of USN Fifth Fleet HQ Bahrain + also Qatar to achieve its Anti-US "Manifest Destiny" as a OWG Co-Superpower. * DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > HOW CHINA CAN BECOME A TWO-OCEAN POWER [THANKS TO PAKISTAN)!? AFPAK + CPEC "to the Sea". * JAPAN TIMES > OPINION: NOEL FELDMAN: CHINA THE REASON WHY THE US NEEDS THE TPP. In this Age of US-vs-China [Iran?] "COOL WAR", NOT "COLD WAR" OR "NEW COLD WAR"??? |

| #8 There are ways around war, if one knows Iranians. Hint: It becomes easier if Sadeq Larijani gets the Ayatllah slot. |

| #7 My suggestion is to have the men ware burkas as they seem to like to ware women's clothing anyway. Like here they have a politically corrupted power elite. Remove the ayatollahs and they will fall apart. I still say they are far more occult oriented than religious, like the Nazi leadership. |

| #6 Linear thinking misses the obvious concurrent undercurrent of revolution that a land invasion taking place methodically against the oppressive government would create. Teheran would be a hotbed of Warsaw-like uprising in a week. The suppression by the clerictocracy would spread dissent like the plague. Think how many Shia states would help, and keeping the Sunni states out would be simple by showing them the end of their nemesis. |
