Was this written by ghost of Neville Chamberlain???

If we do go to war in Iran, it will draw about all our military resources to the region, giving China an opportunity to invade Taiwan, and whomever else wants to do something while the US is powerless to stop.

The economic impact alone of an invasion is also dangerous to the USA. What happens to the dollar if we embark on a costly war? One thing is that oil goes up in price which helps Russia -- not a bad thing IMO as Russia is not the threat that it's made out to be.

If we do go to war in Iran,

We will never go to a land war in or with Iran.

Neville Chamberlain is NOT sitting in the White House.

Tehren will be removed from the map from without.

Chamberlain was right. Churchill started a war that he could not win.

No one talks about the chimperor building that insane "consulate" after destroying Iraq.

We will certainly not be invading Iran. It would not be afforded either politically or economically, and it would require a staging area. We had Saudi Arabia to invade Iraq from. To invade Iran either Iraq or Afghanistan would need to be willing and able, and Iraq may easily refuse, and even if the agreed, it would be a hostile place to do it. Nuking Tehran, if that's what you're referring to, would be detrimental to the US in the international arena, and would guarantee NK would never stop it's nuke program. If anyone cares about that, which maybe they don't, but it would make a permanent mess of things for the USA.

Nuking Tehran,

Poker, table stakes.

Iran nor anyone is POSITIVE that the US will or will not use nuclear.

Stalin bet that Truman WOULD NOT and he was right. We lost 45000 American kids. Many were my friends and comrades. That was okay, what a relief, Truman did NOT use nuclear. Truman had nothing to do with putting us in Korea, Americas hero FDR did. Trump had nothing to do with us being in Iraq, Bush did, our hero.

Again, Neville Chamberlain is NOT in the White House.

In a few months we can throw Trump out of White House, install someone that will disengage from the world and we will all live happily ever after.

We will certainly not be invading Iran.

Beg to differ. It is not certain that we will not invade. Currently the world is waiting to see what Iran will do, or what will be done and blamed on Iran. That depends upon whether Trumpenyahoo believes it will be successful or not.

If we do invade, it will start with the "shock and awe" missile bombing campaign, which will test the Russian made defense system. That is something they want to do. Edit: If Russian defenses are successful in shooting down most of "shock and awe" then it will likely go back to stalemate.

Will Russia fully enter the war on Iran's side? Dunno. Let's say they use their supersonic missiles to knock out a carrier or two, and perhaps hit land staging areas. Then we have no choice but to invade Russia, probably through Ukraine and the "Stans" area. Now it's on. What will China do? What if they stay out to pursue their own agenda. It may be that New York and London are sufficiently satisfied that they can work with the Chinks that they are not concerned about that.

It's more than dicey right now.

Winter is the perfect season to invade RU, just perfect.

Buildup will take several months, meanwhile bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.

I should clarify, that I am not certain that an invasion will take place. Again, it depends upon Trumpenyahoo's chutzpah. Pelosi has already given Trump cover to hold back, for now. Iran is signaling that they are not going to knee-jerk. So, now we wait for Iran's reaction or a false flag if the Neocons are going ahead with an attack. I'd say about 30% chance at this point.

I have seen no reaction from Putin or China yet.

I should clarify, that I am not certain that an invasion will take place.

An "invasion" is NOT physically possible nor desirable.

There would be NO need.

A bombing campaign is possible.

Bombing is probable, up to Iran. Their choice.

Buildup will take several months, meanwhile bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.

Build up where? Iraq or Afghanistan? Both are hostile territory unlike Saudia Arabia was when we invaded Iraq. Maybe we'll stage there again and then the invading troops will drive through Iraq to Iran's border? That's probably the better idea but ... no I don't see any invasion happening at all. Any war with Iran would consist only of bombing campaigns, and for the duration, no oil flowing out of the Persion Gulf.

no I don't see any invasion happening at all.

Concur. It would be nasty optics.

Any war with Iran would consist only of bombing campaigns, and for the duration, no oil flowing out of the Persion Gulf.

As usual.

Wash, Rinse...

ALL MSM-spun theater, misdirection and distraction as the One World Gummint destroys Western Civ and sovereignty.

Kurd territory is a possibility. Kuwait. We have pretty good control of southwestern Afghanistan. Naval assault from multiple places from the Gulf of Oman all the way up the Persian Gulf.

No invasion will happen without staging, which takes time. We'll have some idea what's going on unless they shut off Internet information (a possibility).

Edit:

no I don't see any invasion happening at all.

I have underestimated the gall of these people too many times to be dismissive about the possibility. Hubris doesn't begin to describe their ability to order up destruction and death on a massive scale.

No invasion will happen without staging, which takes time.

I think the instant the first boot hits the ground in any staging operation, it will be war-on as far as Iran is concerned. They won't wait until staging is complete and take the defensive on the US time table. At least they shouldn't. Unlike with Saddam, there was at least the illusion of a negotiated peace, but there's not prospect for that with Iran.

What they could do offensively outside their borders might be limited, but they wouldn't be the pushover Iraq was. But again, a ground war is unlikely.

Russia controls the Caspian Sea, but there's this:

In 2004 a U.S. Navy SEAL team from Little Creek Amphibious Base, Va., participated in joint exercises with the Azeri Navy's 641st Special Warfare Naval Unit, headquartered at the Azeri Naval Station outside Baku.[7] The unit has been described as an 'impressive new maritime special forces unit.[8]

In 2005, Blackwater USA's Maritime Division was contracted to conduct interdiction training for the Azerbaijani naval special forces.[9] Cooperation with U.S.

In 2006, the U.S. Government donated three motorboats to the Azerbaijani Navy. There is also an agreement to provide U.S. support to refurbish Azerbaijani warships in the Caspian Sea.

On May 19, 2006, the Azerbaijani and Turkish Navy held a joint military exercise on safeguarding the security of oil and gas pipelines in Baku. The training session was observed by Azerbaijan Navy commander Shahin Sultanov and Turkish Armed Forces attaché Seyhan Ceyhan. The activities aimed to ensure the safety of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline (BTC), the main export pipeline to take Caspian oil to Turkey and further on to world markets, as well as on expanding cooperation between the two countries’ military forces. The exercises started with the clearance of mines on the seabed. This was followed by rendering harmless the traps planted in the area by symbolic terrorists. The training concluded with the practice of maritime and air operations.[10]

In 2007, an agreement between the Azerbaijani Navy and a U.S. military company was concluded, which stated that a part of the Azerbaijani Navy would be equipped with advanced laser marksmanship devices/systems. U.S. company specialists were also due to give training for the use of this new equipment.[11]

And this...

If Russia stays out the US could literally surround Iran.

I don't mean to be contentious, but the US is already there, so a build up can happen with plenty of defense in place. Iran can only watch the Navy approach with no way of knowing where the amphibious assault would take place. All this after suffering weeks of bombardment destroying their power generation systems, etc.

I think it's a myth that Iran would be able to offer much more resistance than Iraq; not without help.

The bases we have there now, while certainly are protected against suicide bombers and rocket attacks, are, I suspect, not equipped to withstand a full war. Maybe I'm wrong but that would seem a needless expense for addressing a threat that doesn't really exist, or didn't until now.

Iran would probably have a victory by winning Iraq's political allegiance. No doubt they are looking for gains there.

But we'll see. Or in the case of how a war with Iran would turn out, hopefully, we won't see.
