US Veteran Pundit Reveals Why America Cannot Defeat Iran! by Wasganfol(m): 5:55pm On Jan 05, 2020
A US-born prolific author and mobile pundit, Tomi Ahonen, has given reasons why it would be impossible for the United States to defeat Iran if war breaks out among the two nations.

Ahonen, an ardent critic of the President Donald Trump government, said World War 3 will be as bloody as North Korea and elongating as that of Afghanistan

He said America will regret and may never win the war, which has been predicted to be deadliest if it happens.

Ahonen’s position follows the death of Iran’s most powerful military commander, General Qasem Soleimani.

The US has claimed responsibility for his death during an airstrike in Iraq.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has also said “severe revenge awaits the criminals” behind Friday’s attack.

The pundit noted that Trump made the risky move to distract Americans from his impeachment.

“Trump is risking a war with Iran & #WWIII. Pompeo wants this war. Trump NEEDS a war to distract from his impeachment and ever worse details leaking. So there is a big push for war in Iran. This is a VERY VERY incredibly BIGLY bad idea,” he Tweeted.

“The obvious comparison with Iran is Iraq (they are neighbors) hoping it could be fast and ‘easy’. Some see parallels to Afghanistan (also a neighbor of Iran) the longest war of the USA. Others fear Iran could be another Vietnam. Or as bloody as the Korean War.

“The USA CANNOT DEFEAT an enemy like Iran, this strong, this big, this competent, this HEAVILY ARMED with ADVANCED weapons who is UNIFIED & experienced,” the pundit concluded.

“Since WW2, USA has been involved in ‘big’ wars with 4 nations (excluding the smaller conflicts like Bosnia, Somalia or Syria). Korean war (fought to a draw), Vietnam war (the USA lost), Afghanistan war (longest war, still ongoing, can’t be won) and Iraq (2 times).

“So let’s start Iran with geography. Iran is a HUGE country. It is as big as North Korea… plus North Vietnam…. plus Afghanistan… and Iraq – COMBINED. Yes, Iran is a giant country, not EASY to defeat a LARGE country. But let’s look at its terrain. Iraq War was the tank war in the desert and the smart missiles, and heavy airpower. Tanks work well in wars in the DESERT. The USA had tanks in Vietnam and Afghanistan too. THEY DIDN’T HELP. America lost those wars. Russians tried tanks in Afghanistan too: lost.

You have no idea how war works. If it was about go in and kill everyone without any regard for war crimes, diplomacy, conscience and regard for women and children then America will win.

But when you factor in all these things and clearly know Iranians follow no rules or diplomacy then you know why its hard for America to win wars.

Veteran pundit my ass. It's always funny when they talk about how America "lost" the Vietnam war and the Afghanistan situation. A war is happening ONLY within enemy territory and destroying the enemy country, its infrastructure, its economy, and its people, and you're talking about how America lost yada yada.

When will these people (e.g. Iran) hit American homeland hard and turn Americans to destitutes and refugees? So if you're fighting guerilla warfare in Iran (after America would have effected a regime change of the obnoxious Ayatollah, of course), and running around in circles, target some American soldiers IN IRAN, and vice versa, etc, you think you're "winning" the war? Which war? Who is hurt? Lol. What a joke. Hate America or love America, but America no be these fools mate.

Bro why is that some of u want war ??



How do u expect IRAN, to fight the USA with best brain from all over the world ??, The real US citizens are lazy and lousy ...US is using the world to rule the world ... If u discover anything today , and the US get to know about it, they will spend the world to get u to the America and give u direct green card... IRAN is far , very far from the US, not even Russia...Go and study the WWII, and see what the US used then let alone today... But thank God for G7 to always monitor the US and others against any power show..

A loss is when you lost thousands of precious lives and billions of dollars and your objectives were still not achieved.

Salamrushdie aka Gamalnasser aka..., the way you're on overdrive on this matter shows you're obviously Nairalands number one Trump worshipper. Take it easy and direct this energy to be patriotic to your own country rather than carrying this issue as a Gala on your head for a country that doesn't know you.

You obviously don’t understand how America works. America is a fun loving country. They don’t like to die. Once they lose about a hundred soldiers, there will be massive outcry for the soldiers to return home. In an all out war against Iran, the war will be protracted and US will lose thousands of soldiers and Americans will go crazy.

The Iranians on the other hand are tough bastards. They don’t care about deaths and they have a large population to sustain the war. So you see, the US cannot afford a long and bloody war. That is why so many pundits are saying this is one war the US cannot win. The only way to make the war quick without much American military casualties is to use nukes and that will have more disastrous consequences.

Story. The US would easily topple the Ayatollah, and that would be the end of that. Even if the country burns afterwards, e no concern anybody. But I doubt. Iran has a very high literacy rate and a significant percentage of the pupulatuon will quickly embrace a democratic dispensation enthroned by America after the regime change. It would not be the same protracted, chaotic situation as was the case with Afghanistan and so forth. Once the Ayatollah's Islamic Revolution is tossed to the trash can, the so-called war is 80% won. The dynamic would be very different.

Trump just dey do bold face, he knows dat he miscalculated,hes just hoping Iran will take d bait and not retaliate. D Iranian uranium enrichment programme is for weapons and at dis point d whole world including d US is scared dat Iranians won't be tempted to use it.if d Iraq War cud drag for his long, definitely US won't be winning against Iran.both Iran and d US just want to waste d lives of there citizens.

Most of you think it is war film where they just send soldiers and they will win the war easily grin

You can't underestimate the little country, it's war and its never straight forward

If eventually war breaks out, I'm sure that Iran will have help from other countries openly or secretly. And BTW this modafuckers do not fear death, they are ready to die.

Don't be surprised if terrorist try to launch an attack on the US after this...

Alas, it's the citizens that'll suffer from the decisions of the political elite
