US won Gulf War one - Destroyed Iraqi military potential, and kicked out Iraqi Army out of Kuwait.
Gulf war 2 - Victorius invasion.. Failed occupation..
Afghan war - Victorious invasion, failed occupation..

Unkil Sam very good at Conventional war.. But, lacks Stamina for costly occupation..
Afghan war was an american victory.

because Iran is 100 times harder to conquer & invade than any west asian country. This is reflected in iranian history - it hasnt been invaded successfully very often in the past. IIRC, its happened only 5 times in history that the heartland of Iran has been conquered by a foreigner.
the geography of Iran is simply too difficult and all of those invaders paid their due price in blood- a price murrica is unwilling to pay.
iirc correctly Alexander the great and Genghis Khan were last successful conquerors.
if they can't be conquered than let's try regime change.

I hope this war drags on till next election.
Murica will have way less resources and media spectrums to fuck shit up here in India.
Rest we should use all the noise to clean some garbage in our backyard.

I doubt anyone can hold a country hostage if thr population does not want it.
Terrain issues not withstanding.
It's not the 10th century where terrain was a big issue.
Iran is no Himalayas either

terrain is ALWAYS an issue. Even rolling hills are a compeltely different issue than farming plains.

Latest Biden statement below. While this doesn’t mean boots on the ground, Unkil is clearly giving a free hand to Israel and saying not to worry of any consequences?

“I told him that if the United States experienced what Israel is experiencing, our response would be swift, decisive, and overwhelming,” Biden said from the State Dining Room.

I was talking to a Israeli girl. Apparently Saturday is the rest day for Jews and it consists of total abstentation from technology. According to her, most of IDF was on leave back home and the rest couldn't contact higher ups because... They were unreachable due to them being religious and abstaining from technology. Even assembling a response team took time because no one could contact each other. The kibbutz spread across the frontiers couldn't raise alarms because they're essentially hyperreligious community so they were maintaining strict no work/tech and no one was listening on the other side.

Good tactic from Hamas' side.
Being hyper religious is one thing, but considering their history and geography, some people should have been exempt from such religiosity. At the very least they could position the non Jews or not so religious Jews for such critical functions during the Sabbath window. Overall a big flop show on their part and a dent in their invincibility regardless of how many bombs they drop on Gaza. Needs serious introspection to avoid such instances in the future.

Completely understandable for civilians, but how can this be allowed for security forces?

I'm surprised hamas didn't exploit this huge weakness much earlier.

The only thing Muricans want is to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities (and human resources) then install a free, democratic puppet government.

They don't want to invade and capture the capital.

Iran falling right now will be a L for India. The most acceptable outcome, for us, will be if US destroys Iran's nuclear program but fails to remove Khamenei regime.

Exactly and it sounds very naive. It was bit surprising that the whole population is literally a soldier but had no weapons at home or elsewhere. They should review it now.

Israel is going through a serious political unrest for some time. Even Armed forces refused to be on duty! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I knew that something big is coming for sure but it came a bit late. It was surprising the way these protests kept on going and going. Now they will understand! Imagine if a few Hamaszade suicide bombers :suicide: could infiltrate in such mass protests.

On some forums they are saying it's a false flag operation. We know which country is expert in false flag so they assume everything as false flag! :crazy:

PS: Lesson for India, behind these mass protests (Farmer, Anti-CAA etc) there can be a hideous plan since security agencies might be over busy and terrorists can exploit it. Till now it was handled but India is a HUGE country and not tiny Israel.

The religiousity is self imposed. The problem is that the leftist non religious ones are self selecting themselves outside of IDF. So the mid to top level gets saturated with right wing religious ones.

I agree with you. This was as dumb a blunder as could have been.
