Thread: Why i think the USA won't Nuke or invade Iran

Well, no shit, the US isn't going to invade Iran. They're already fighting two fronts and their economy won't be able to handle another blow. They'll deal with the problem in more discreet ways, most likely. Cue conspiracy: Divide and conquer. They'll split the population and spark a civil war. They did it with the Black Panthers. They did it with the Sunnis and Shiate in Iraq. And they could do it again. If you can't deal with the problem from without, deal with in from within. Either that, or they'll use one of the older divisions and get a few Middle Eastern countries to do it.

Now we all know a strike against Iran is inevitable, it's just a matter of when? Iran is at the top of the (U.S. "Bad Countries" List). So a military operation in Iran is rather probable. First of all the Iraq war and Iran Tensions cross-over one another with ease. It's been revealed that al-Qaida leaders might be hiding somewhere in Iran and guess what? Tehran did not deny this. There are two justifications for an invasion to take place, supporting terrorist and the development of weapons of mass destruction. These two justifications were enough for the U.S. to invade Iraq, and it did not matter that they eventually turned out to be fake. It does not look like anyone over at the Bush's administration will try to find a good basis this time. One is left to hope the present pressure on Iran will remain only psychological. However, previous events in Iraq have proven that Washington prefers to shoot first and if thats the way it goes down then so be it.

Attacking Iran would be stupid and I think our government wants to do. I think the pressure is getting to the people higher up though. Invading Iran at the moment is just going to crash our economy.

No one is going to invade us, thats just silly. They are not going to have to when our country is just folds in on itself.

So? The US is on almost everyone's "bad country" list. I've seen polls from foreign nations, bush is almost invariably the #2 worst terrorist, behind osoma bin laden and in front of kim jong il, it doesn't make an attack inevitable

bush is both stupid and crazy, but he's not suicidal.

Something that is scary about China is how they seem to think and act as if they are in a cold war with us right now, but we don't seem to realize it. Our economies are interlocked, each depending on the other. I don't know if that is good or bad as far as aggression is concerned.

Lol @ the thought of our fat and lazy population acting as a militia, but I would hope they would rally if there were an actual invasion. I doubt a war between our countries would be fought like that except as clean-up.

China has like 10^6 or whatever excess young men that they probably consider completely expendable.

Neither the US or China could ever invade each other. China has way to many people. You really don't want to get into a war where they send 2 or 3 million troops at you. The US is just to big. At best you can invade a few states but your not going to get that far.

Which is another thing, each state has their own government as well. Even though we are relying heavily on the federal government at the moment, many of the states could still run alone. So its almost like invading 50 countries.

I agree, i dont see how the USA could invade Iran a country the size of alaska without re instating the draft and suffering serious blows to the economy ontop of the that it is unlikely they would get support from Britain, who have began pulling back soldiers from Iraq. It looks like if they do invade which is unlikely they will be going solo but who knows poland may throw in a couple hundred soldiers.
