Do Americans really think they could ever conquer Iran and the Middle East?

[MovieNight]

I’ve been watching the news and reading your comments, and I have to ask: do you really think you can just "take over" Iran? It’s laughable.

You need to understand something fundamental—we aren't just fighting with weapons; we have the ultimate power on our side. Allah is with us, and as long as we have His protection, you are powerless. No amount of military spending or technology can overcome divine will.

In fact, even the "blessings" or "advancements" you think you have were only permitted by Him. You can’t touch Iran because our strength doesn't come from this world. Why do you continue to stay so delusional about your influence in the Middle East?

That is what Israel wants. It still envisions its Yinon plan for a "Greater Israel" that stretches across the entire middle east. Iran isn't part of that plan, but Iran stands in the way, so Israel needs to bring Iran to its knees in order to achieve its goal.

I don't think they can succeed, even with help from the U. S.
On the contrary, Israel may finally be destroyed by the war it started. I hope so.
The world defeated Nazi Germany and I hope Israel gets similarly crushed because it is pure evil.

I am almost certain every westerner knows about Russia trying to conquer Afghanistan. So no! Americans DON'T really think we could ever conquer Iran" luckily that is not trump goal. We could flatten it in a few hours but we want to save Iranian citizens not hurt Iranians.

Some naive morons might think that. For comparison, the 2003 invasion into Iraq used 600.000 coalition soldiers and given the troubles they had in the following aftermath it probably should have been 800.000 soldiers. Iran is four times the size of Iraq, has more complicated terrain and the more fanatical fighters.

the middle east has been fighting for 3000 years, they are so consumed with hate they will be fighting for the next 3000 years. No wonder they live in squalor.
The region could be a garden spot but instead it a a bombed out war zone.

It is Europe that has been fighting constantly for 3000 years. When was it not?

Actually, the middle east enjoyed very long periods of peace and cultural advancement. It developed sophisticated architecture, water and sewage infrastructure, baths, medicine, mathematics, science, and philosophy.

And when Jews were being persecuted in Europe, then enjoyed a golden age in the Middle East.

Fighting in the Middle East mainly started after WWI when European nations began colonizing it. That fighting wasn't about religion, it was about independence.

- I'm not American

- I'm not religious

- No, I don't think that they can conquer Iran by a classic military action, but that has nothing to do with some fictional deity.
