U don’t foresee a retaliation here....?? Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying Iran can match the US in a fight....I’m just saying this is how huge wars begin.....the US is a big bully and bullies eventually gets ganged-up on

It is actually Iran that would be ganged up on.

Saudi Arabia, ISIS, Turkey, United States, NATO would be against Iran and even Russia (would not take a direct role) and China (wisely pursuing economic hegemony)

More crises for Trump and an average American. This is unnecessary. Trump is committing a huge mistake by canceling the initial agreement reached with Iran.

Firstly, US can't even manage the ongoing crises she created in the past with Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Libya and others. Who's advising Trump? Crises in Libya is still a crisis in some parts of Europe. Germany already has millions of refugees from Syria. These are countries of smaller populations yet you seriously want to destabilize another country of 70-80 million people all at once.

The entire America with Europe would have a serious impact if Iran is set into crises. In fact, the entire world feel this impact because by the time 40 percent of oil output is cut off due to total blockage of Strait of Hormuz. The global market would respond immediately. This is not a wise choice. Even in Nigeria, a litre of petrol may go as far as N500
shut up, if the iranian islamic terrorist government mess up, America should uproot them from the earth and turn the whole country into a grazing reserve.

You were only correct when you mentioned Hiroshima, Yokosutu and Nagazaki (2nd World war Atomic attack in Japan) For others like Germany etc, you are totally wrong. No European country will join force with Iran or any other mid/ far east Country.
China and Russia are only looking for Pawn to depose USA as World power.

India as one of the World power will dance to their Colonizers tune (Britain) who will also support their baby USA. Russia, China, and Iran only have the war infested Arabs on their side, USa will have the rest of the World excluding NKorea who doesn't even have the financial resources to go to war at the moment. USa budget on military only is more than 5 times of all these yeye Rusiay, China, and Iran combined.

EU is USA - controls europe
NATO is USA_ defends europe
World bank is Usa_ monitors world currencies / policies

Tell me what Russia control, China nko, how about Iran.

fact

Iran can only block passage of crude oil @ strait of Hormuz. Crude oil prices increases and UsA makes money as crude exporter and only shale oil maker.

China being export dependent loses
its Usa / possibly European export market due to war

Russia is the only one possibly going to make profits in terms of war. Russia sells Arm and artillery, Russian gas and oil will sell,

Final word. Usa will still be the overall winner if Russia , China and Iran Collaborate.


China and Russia can't side Iran over the US.
What does Iran have to offer than the US?

Actually, what Trump has done is telling Iran to activate their weapon for a full blown war, but Iran will never go to war with the USA, they actually don't have the military capability, USA and Israel has been looking for a way to put down the evil leader of Iran, Iranian government may ask all their mercenaries to return home to avoid any war with the USA. Iran is ovaraated. Make no mistake, Iran will seek peace with Trump admistration because this means full war.

When it reaches the dead end, Russia will rather abscond than face US in a real war situation. I don't know about China
China is even more sane than Russia.

They have hundreds of billions of dollars in trade with America.
They won't jeopardize that for some Persians in the desert.

They would talk harshly condemning America openly, and go back to importing billions of dollars of American wheat and corn.

Will Iran give President Trump what he wants? I doubt.

Trump wants war with Iran. He knows a wartime President has a higher hopes of being reelected as fear and uncertainty bonds people with their responsive leaders. Just as George Bush jnr got reelected because of the 911 attack and consequent war and Obama was handed a reelection with his reaction to the hurricane that happened close to his reelection.

Iran is too much of a chicken hearted coward that thrive in noise making to enter into a war with America. The Ayatollah is biish who loves to cling to power and knows a war ith America will threaten his position. Nothing will happen from this. Infact, Iran might secretly seek to pacify America cos Ayatollah is peeing in his pants by now.
Without war trump can still win

America will pull out as usual because it will be mission accomplished.


I forgot to add Saudi and other middle East countries will buy up more American weapons
The only way to keep these terrorist from planning further attacks against peaceful countries of the world is by keeping them engaged in a war in their own home soil. That way,they will not have time to plan another global terrorist attack on other peaceful countries of the world.

Every single US president facing internal crisis will conduct wars or missile strikes to divert attention. It's happened several times before.

Trump has been itching to kill someone, to buffer his self-styled tough-guy image irrespective of the consequences and to feel like the dictator he badly wants to be. This action will further endanger US personnel and civilians in that region.

Now they've lost an ally in Iraq, and the only gainer in this is Saudi Arabia.

I can bet the military leadership tried to dissuade him from this act but Mr Bone Spurs would never listen.

U are happy.? It’s like u are seeing this as a movie.......this might usher in bad consequences for the UNited states....if care is not taken it might mean a big war.....the EU won’t support the United state on this..... unless we wanna deceive ourselves..China, Japan, Germany and russia and not friends of the Americans deep down....they are just trying to co-exist for trade and to avoid war.....:but if war is inevitable, I foresee they will take sides with Iran.... and japan will gladly return the favor America dropped at Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Wack analysis.

Japan is US ally. The US has thousands of soldiers stationed on Japanese soil. Same with Germany and France. The US has nuclear firepower stationed on those countries' soil.

Iran is hated by Sunni Muslims and China is currently battling economic issues, they wouldn't want to take part in a senseless war supporting a country like Iran. Russia is more interested in its sphere of influence (Eastern Europe). At best, they would help Iran with some private military contractors and the US absolutely destroyed those in Syria. Saudi Arabia would help in destroying Iran. Let's not forget ISIS that can easily get a new sense of purpose by getting support to go attack Iran.

If care is not taken, this might be the time Iran's theocracy is removed. The people won't want to die and they would also protest.

If your attempting to compare US and Iran militarily, then you clearly know very little of each country's military might. Iran may probably be compared to Israel, but even Iran won't go near Israel because Israel will shoot before it aims.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1VF0CA

Israel has been slaughtering Iranian military guys in Syria for over a year now with Iran not even mentioning retaliation because that will prompt more aggression from israel. And guess what, Israel has been doing this a preemptive measure, Iran has even killed a single Israeli.

Meanwhile Iran had the guts to use its proxy to launch an attack on an american military base killing. Iran is lucky US is a country with systems and controls, where every action is carefully weighed and examined before execution, else it will have been levelled by now.

In the event of a conflict, even Russia and China will keep their heads far away. None of them will dear confront the US. They will just keep encouraging Iran to receive more beating.

The only thing that kept Saddam from invading the likes of Iran and other States in the middle east was the west. You need to go read the iraq-iran wars.

Iran is only still standing as a country because the us has lost its appetite for engaging in conflict within the middle east
Egbon Don digres did you see USA in my mention...............did you........
All you said there still shows the level you have gotten to.........okay make i even mention USA........if not air power and naval fleet tell me where else the US beats Russia in military might let's talk facts here.........
The US only suparses Russia in military because of those two things.......


Quotes their military comparisons here and give us credense to you saying Russia and China will not come near......


You think you are talking to a kid with water bottle on his neck........



Since you have used your head to clear that of Iran and Israel........ Egbon.... Let's talk about the actual big dogs....
