US will bomb the refinerery's.. They'll hit Iran's pocket book.
8 cities in Iran per wiwipedia hold close to 20million people for a total population of roughly 89 million people. So, 8 cities hold a 1/4 of the population.
If Iran gets nuclear; does a country have 8 warheads sitting around somewhere... - asking for a friend
If politicians / and rich kids had to go first; do you think they'd let them deploy to the trenches? If current history is correct, they are probably in Miami not wanting to go home.
Gonna get spicy quick if the West attempts to make a strike into Iran proper.
Russia has made it clear they aren't having it and don't want the whole region on fire.
The U.S. can be pretty cavalier and reckless when the fighting is far from home, however this whole tinderbox is NOT far from home to the Russians. Regardless of what Graham, McConnell, Blinken and the other idiots spew to the MSM, today's Russia does not want conflict.
The chess piece on the board that most are willfully ignoring is the fact that Russia is more prepared to handle a large scale near peer conflict than ever and they have the industrial base/raw materials to sustain war time surge demands.
We do not.
Smart peeps have said it isn't going to take much to polarize the entire Arab region into a giant coalition against the West in general and the U.S. in particular. Turkey is trying to referee somewhat but if pushed, they are going to side against us.
I agree that Iran needs to be removed from the field as a player but our administration is too weak, stupid and cucked to the elites to do anything without fucking it up further.
Things won't have to go nuclear for things to go sideways.
If it turns into a hot war we will quickly have more than we can handle on 3 fronts. (1) Middle East/Israel, (2) Pacific/South China Sea and I'm going to count (3) anything inside the entire U.S border as another front because there will be guerilla insurgencies originating from tons of foreign nationals already among us.
Not only are we ill equipped to handle even one front against a near peer adversary, we are extraordinarily vulnerable within our borders. It will not take much to create so much chaos and unrest that our leadership has no choice but to be distracted by it.
