  1. Iran ties down at most a Carrier group already assigned to teh region, and in no way pulls assets from the Pacific. China is still hemmed in by India, Indonesia, ASEAN, Philippines, South Korea, Guam, Japan, Australia, etc. US isn't going it alone. Iran cannot project power outside of their territorial waters unless the Western nations allow it, such as right now. Also, Saudi Arabia, Israel, NATO and others could potentially help with the Iran issue with ease. Pakistan is hemmed in by India. China fights alone in the Pacific and Indian Ocean.

  3.  @FOLIPE  If Iran sided with Russia right now and declared war on the west, Iran wouldn't have a Navy tomorrow.

  4. US, India, NATO could easily sink the entirety of the Pakistan and Iran navies in a matter of days. Pakistan and Iran combined couldn't hold their own against a handful of Western nations.

  5. China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan and North Korea have already been allied for decades. nothing new here. Russia is a failed military state and weak economy. China has too many dependencies in energy, food, and relies on copying technology. North Korea is stuck in the 1960s and worthless. Iran is belligerent, but has little to offer economically or militarily and depends on the others. Pakistan is more complicated, but still not a strong military nor economy, and has complicated international dealings. Of these, China has the only real economy, and that is mostly a falsely built and inflated one dependent on cheating and imports. Russia has the best military gear, and we see how good that is, China is still trying to copy Russian tech. None of these countries has well trained militaries, and most rule their people by fear and threats.

  6.  @looinrims  Feel free to point out flaws in the logic, if you can, otherwise you're just a troll.

  8. Russia on the verge of deploying tanks from WW2 to keep the fight going, only 1yr in and already declaring it the "Forever War"? Over sensationalism much?

  10. feels like the 1930s all over again. Naval build ups, societal unrest, rise of tyrannical governments, economic instability...

  11. the only thing they all share is anti-Americanism, yet every one of these countries has benefited from US ideas, military securities (global trade, freedom of navigation), and used western capitalism (Russia, China, and others) to improve themselves. They can hate the west if they want, but it will cost them dearly. They wont be able to trade, their economies will stagnate under anti-capitalist ideologies, etc.

  12. Russia is losing the war of attrition. they're already resorting to sending T-55 tanks. after that what else do they have left to send?

  13.  @Kimmy-et5df  ASEAN are already arming themselves against China as we speak. They will be a prime target for China if China tries to invade Taiwan and they know it. You may be right about the mid east nations, they tend to never do anything and let others fight for them.

  16.  @0249er  Resource rich? perhaps, but not a rich nation. Geography is against Iran. Iran has rather poor technical expertise and no real tech industry. I would love to see the People of Iran under a new gov and prospering. Would love to have them as allies instead of enemies. I even know some Iranians, through the military and in my civilian life, and they are great people, smart, and they want better for Iran too. Iran has potential, but not in their current state.

  17.  @0249er  Yeah, and most the middle east doesn't produce much tech and such, so comparing Iran to that doesn't say or prove much. Cited documents =/= produced technology. Who cares about some PhD's article or half baked idea? 60% of publish research is nonsense. I'm interested in actual tangible things. Cited research produces nothing of use to the average person. Where is the tech? Iran tried a few times to produce a few things, like aircraft, but they failed. Iran has no one to sell to because they don't make anything worth buying. Give me an example of tech the rest of the world wants from Iran? US counters Iran because they have a history of shooting at people. And militarily, Iran is more of a joke than Russia. A single US carrier task force could likely destroy the bulk of Iran's military all by itself if necessary.
