To imply that the Armed Forces of the United States of America has
the manpower, ammunition, funding, and especially the stamina, in order
to try and compete militarily with a well rested, well funded and
heavily armed Iranian Armed Forces would be a major mistake. In order to
extend their current combat missions into Iran, alongside Israel, the
entire combined NATO forces, or even the entire Allied Command is
nothing short of ludicrous. The Western Powers and their allies have
been running wildly in Iraq and Afghanistan since 2002, when they went
to the Middle East to shock the awe out of them, topple Saddam Hussein and hunt the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization.
The Iranian Armed Forces, main combat units, contain an estimated
550,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen. The Revolutionary Guard, the elite
branch of the Iranian Armed Forces, their version of our "Green
Berets", have command of an estimated 3 million combat ready reservists
out of a claimed enrolment of 12.5 Million members (2005 numbers). That
is one heck of a large army to think that you can bully around with an
over-extended, tired, near bankrupt, and physically depleted United
States Armed Forces.
The United States of America and Israel will
by no means try bluffing Iran with an attack to force them into
accepting policy changes that are beneficial to all, save Iran. The US
and Israel are more than aware that fighting a war against Iran and
their renowned and well populated Revolutionary Guard would be no small
affair. And to neglect or disregard the firepower branded by an oil-rich
Iran, a Muslim controlled Nation in a time of anti-American popularity
amongst the Muslim world, would be an insurmountable error.
Iran
has always had more than enough money to simply buy their way into the
Nuclear Family, and with Mother Russia seeing red in her ledgers, a fire
sale of Russian nukes is not out of the question. But they assuredly
will not play that card until they intend to use it, and would play it
very close to the chest; no threats, just yell "Allah Akbar" and push the button. Allah Akbar! Goodbye Middle East, and all the oil that you represent! Iran, with nuclear weaponry, would be the equivalent of North Korea
with major nuclear capabilities and a score to settle with South Korea.
It would be very scary, my friends, very scary indeed. Time to find
that rabbit hole again, Virginia.
With Nuclear fallout within the vicinity of some of the most populous Countries on the planet, Pakistan, India and China.
