Do you have any clue about the difference between the 2? Take a look at a map someday. more then 2 x the population and 4x the land mass and much larger industrial base AND a Caspian Sea coastline. Also a military that has been rotated though wars in Syria for years and is battle hardened.
Didn't the Iraqi army have decades of combat experience against Iran?

It still collapsed within a couple of days.

The IrAF flies Vietnam War surplus F-4's that the States gave the Shah in 1978. How long are they going to stay flying against F-35's?

It may make sense for Iran to get nukes.
It will avoid the situation escalating into a full scale bombing campaign or worse an invasion.
This also means the Saudis will develop nukes.
Who is going to invade Iran? There's not a single country with the capabilities (short of a wide coalition like Iraq 1).

Hardly anyone talks about either Iraq war as if were a good thing.
...
I'm sure the people of Kuwait think stopping Iraq's invasion was a good thing.

Or are you too deep in your invented hateful reality that you ignore that Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was THE reason for that war and the coalition was backed by the UN.

You've been arguing for war with Iran for years.
...
You're a moron if you believe your own claim.

I've argued that Iran shouldn't have their massive enrichment capacity and enrich to 60% of they plan to stay in the NPT and I have criticized their widespread oppression of women and minorities.

But you idolize anyone who hates Israel as much as you so you get worried when anyone dares admit Iran has problematic leadership.

Bullshit, you've argued against renewing the JCPOA, for more sanctions, for bombing Iran and for Israel to not ever join the NPT.
You've started countless threads trying to demonize them to justify war.

Isn't Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen enough for you?

THat war ended 15 years before and none of the gear was upgraded. Syrian war continues today. and Iran has a substantial MIC

Who are you to say what Iran can and cannot have?

The nations with the largest uranium reserves:

1. Kazakhstan
2. Australia
3. Namibia
4. Canada
5. Iran

Under no circumstances will Jordan help Israel, they are in the crosshairs of Orthodox Jews wanting the re-establishment of Biblical Judea. They started this war but are not keen to be drafted into the IDF.

Yes, I've argued that the JCPOA did nothing to delay Iran's nuclear program and with their continued aggression, sanctions are the only other option. I have NEVER said anyone should bomb Iran and you only don't like my comments on the NPT being that Israel was a nuclear power when it was created and under the treaty, would have been allowed to keep their nukes, just like every other nuclear power.

And no, the only one here cheering war here is you. It's pathetic that you are okay with Iran continued enrichment to 60% and their widespread oppression of women and minorities simply because the Mullahs hate Israel's existence as much as you do.

Gee, I thought as a Canadian, I'm allowed my opinion. But according to the NPT, Iran gets economic advantages from being in the NPT. If they want nukes, they just need to withdraw.

And Iran getting nukes will be quickly followed by the Saudis and I'd rather not have more ultra-religious totalitarian states have them.

Umm wacky.

First, Jordan has helped Israel, having shot down Missiles in both of Iran's strikes on Israel.
Second, you're listening to too much bullshit because there is no movement in Israel to take over Jordan.
Finally, do you really believe the Orthodox Jews started this war? Did they dress up as Hamas and make Hamas take credit for the 7th?

Total lie, buddy.

There is no point reading or replying to anything after this really shitty lie.
