I'm only saying where things will go if the status quo of Iran developing these weapons will go. It will become like North Korea and once nukes are in the picture then it becomes harder to deter other actions. Raids on ships in the Strait of the Hormuz will continue, proxy attacks through Houthis will continue, threats will escalate. War is at least definitive and can end the situation. Peace should be sought but that has its limits if there are more attacks in the future.
LEMME SEE YOUR WARFACE
Prediction: the next mass shooting will be commited by "Iranian backed terrorists" and will be the worst one in US history. A group of armed men will use silenced pistol-braced ARs that they bought from a gun show without a background check to kill 6 gorillion children in a shopping mall somewhere in middle America, maybe Iowa.
Suspiciously, no one will have taken any cell phone video of the incident and all the CCTV cameras were down for maintenance that day meaning there's no footage of the attack avaliable to the public. Also, everyone who actually SAW the gunmen was shot to death so there's no true eyewitness accounts. Thankfully the shooters just so happened to drop an Iranian flag and a koran at the scene so we know who the perpetrators are.
That will let Trump invade Iran and finally ban evil assault guns with multi shot magazine clips all at the same time! :^)
Nothing will happen, except for the refinery being repaired and strong defenses being built
Nothing will happen. Why do people always think anyone will do anything about this shit?
Gas is projected to rise by like 30 cents.
>All of those things ARE war in a conventional sense.
Not really. Every one of those things can be done, from a technological standpoint, with no American personell in the area. Obviously, we don't have such technology anywhere close to battle ready, but what it does mean is that there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to deploy a single American troop to the region except as back up. The Army could sit on the sidelines in case something goes sideways, while the Navy and Air Force beat Iran into submission from the air and sea. There's absolutely no reason for an American boot to touch Iranian soil, or for us to demand in any way whatsoever that Iran cede control to us. Where'd be there to aggresively enforce sanctions until they submit. But it really is pointless to even do that.
>should Iran develop both nuclear weapons and missiles then it goes from threatening Tel Aviv or Saudi oil fields to threatening the "Great Satan" (America) with missiles
Fucking kek. You're retarded. Russia would never let them start a nuclear war.
congrats on becoming a dad when your GF is six months into deployment user.
By the start of December at that.
I'll summarize real quick; there's no reason for American occupation of Iran. That's the only thing you technically need boots for, and it's the traditional objective of war (in some manner for some reason). The US has such a powerful Navy and Air Force and the (hypothetical) needs of the situation are such that all of *OUR* policy objectives can be accomplished with a blockade and bombings. The objectives of our "allies" on the other hand...
Claps and then Jews sweet murdered in the street for their crimes against humanity
