  1. This is BS posturing. No attack planned. America hasn't won a major conflict since the Pacific theater in WWII. Lost Korea Vietnam Iraq Afghanistan Syria etc etc

  2.  @bca-biciclindcuaxel7527  Gorbachev made a decision to let the Soviet Republics leave the Union. That's why the Union ended. Reagan and America had little to do with it. That's why it caught the CIA by surprise.

  3.  @Sinkin3s  I'm not sure what point you're trying to make? Clearly it's hyperbole to suggest that the US spends more than all other nations combined. It doesn't. The fact is there is a perception, constantly reiterated by the US government, corporate Media and the movie industry that America has an undefeatable military machine. However, if you subscribe to what the military tactician, Karl von Clausewitz wrote in his seminal work, On War, where he observed that "war is merely a continuation of politics by other means" you measure winning by the results at the end of a war or conflict by how the US position has, or has not, improved in it's geostrategical geopolitical religiopoliticall ( one or more of these) at the end. Since the Pacific theater in WWII America has been in many conflict or wars. At the end of combat hostilities the US hasn't in fact ended up with a better position than when it started. Engagements in Grenada and Panama accomplished their missions but those were more police actions with no global impact. Korean war isn't officially over as a armistice was agreed to but North Korea is still a separate country and there are 30,000 US troops on the border for decades. Vietnam is a communist Nation. Saddam was defeated but that allowed the majority Shia's to come to power and Iraq is now more allied with Iran. After 18 years Afghanistan still has 70% of it's territory controlled by the Taliban. By attempting to overthrow Assad the US caused Russia Hizbullah Iran to enter the conflict and they won. Now Russia Hizbullah Iran are ensconced in Syria and they aren't going away anytime soon. All of these results are losses from a geostrategical geopolitical religiopoliticall standpoint for the United States attempting to advance its Hegemony. A war with Iran, which is a far larger country than Iraq or Syria or Afghanistan, from a population and military standpoint would not end well for the US. Iran has the largest missle inventory in the Middle East. Having the Navy patrolling the Gulf and Indian ocean merely feeds into the adage " there are two types of ships submarines and targets". If the United States had actually been on the verge of an attack on Iran it would have leaked to the media. Look at the history of attacks in the past. You can't keep a lid on that. The operation, which wasn't an attack, to get Usama bin Laden was kept under wraps. But that's not an attack merely a clandestine mission. And even that had spin to it because in fact the Pakistan military allowed it to happen once the US confronted them with having harboured bin Laden for years and threatened to cut aid funding and impose sanctions.
