Iran: the collapse

You should read what the Indians said about it and that the Americans knew about it being invited unarmed.
So no, it wasnot said by the Iranians, because they told about t after the ship was downde, but by the Indians beforehand by way of the invitations made and known by the yanks, because of their accepted invitation.
It was a cowards and most likely a criminal act.

 

What's the outcome? New Syria with Trump Towers and McDonald's? Why would they ever resist that I wonder

 

I didn't even bother looking up international law since the US prides themselves at being "exceptional" - they violate their own rules and you'll still have people rationalizing it. Tell them they have no honor and they'll call you "hater". You can't make this up

 

So your message the the world is "submit or Merica" will come and destroy you (carpet bomb, double tap)? And you'll blame them for resisting?

Damn....

 

I think the message is Iran should give up at least the Iranian Kurdistan and appeal for peace.

And it is how amazing how Israel can fight all of BRICS at the same time and win

 

The Afghans defeated both the Soviets and the Americans with AKs and roadside bombs. The Americans didn’t lose because they ran out of bombs, they lost because they could afford to and the Afghans couldn’t.

Your assumption that the Iranians have no option but surrender shows me that you have no notion of fighting to the end.

You can easily dissuade me of that by showing how your nation fought to the end against all odds. I am assuming, based on your posting style, that you cannot.

 

No submarine skipper is going to let an enemy vessel know his location. That just doesn't happen because it makes the boat vulnerable to attack.

I don't really understand what the Iranian captain was thinking. He must have known that heading back towards this conflict would result in the sinking of his ship.

 

Why are you there to begin with? You're causing it

 

Those were used for a very specific purpose. Standard US doctrine is to use its top-tier stuff to knock out air defenses and command-and-control infrastructure. After that, it's JDAMs, since they're pretty cheap and the US has a large number of them.

 

Uhm, this exercise was way before the sudden war began, so why would the Iranians, in contrast to the other partners invited come up armed, especially as it wasnot a shooting combat excercise (afaik from news reports).
The only ones who knew a war was coming were the yanks, by suddenly withdrawing their involvement before the war started.
Everything points to a coward, criminal act. The yanks could/should have demanded the ship's surrender and fast enough would be clear if it was armed.

 

Putin? Pro peace Putin is doing that?

Get the f out of here

 

I wonder how Trump will react to this?

 

The Iranian regime doesn't care if its people are being slaughtered. Its only goal is its own survival, and there's no indication that massive bombing alone, without ground troups, will destroy it.
The US and Israel cannot win this.

 

You're bombing those very same Iranians...

 

Is that why France surrendered so fast to the Germans in WWII? They "cared more" than the British or Soviets who didn't?
