America would destroy Iran is less than 24 hours.

Well that's OK then! Who cares about the countless thousands of casualties that would entail as long as hawkish egos get a boost. Besides, you're talking shite. Look at Iraq. It's more than 15 years since the invasion and there are still US troops there. You can't claim to have won a war until you've also won the peace.

This is something you have no power over. Worrying changes nothing and is a waste of your time.

America would destroy Iran is less than 24 hours. Hardly any other country would get involved.
Not exactly WW3.

Not true. Russia is on Iran's side. This is very serious.

Margaret Thatcher took us to war, it's not a man thing.sad

Argentina declared war. Margaret Thatcher was just defending British territory and British citizens

Putin would have some strong views about America's action

Probably not, but still a remote possibility, such as:

  • Iraq tells US to get out.
  • US says No.
  • It all gets heated. Iran supports Iraqi Govt.
  • US strikes Iran.
  • Iran hits Israel in retaliation.
  • Israel aims at Iran in Syria, kills some Russians.
  • Russians threaten Israel. US threatens Russians. Someone lobs a missile at someone else. Etc.

But it probably won't happen, so don't worry.

How would "America Destroy Iran"?

The first use of nuclear weapons is a war crime. There would be a drift of the fallout that would poison the world. Remember those Cumbrian sheep after Chernobyl?

The Iranians endured over nine years of war against a US-backed Iraq in the 80s. They have the protected infrastructure as a legacy of that.

Bibi could start a war with Iran to save his own arse.

The evacuation of Baghdad would make Saigon 75 look like a picnic.

The only way they'd destroy the country would be nuclear weapons and that would destroy the US as well.
