Gentlemen, short of divine intervention, World War III has just begun. Iran is not a pushover nation, it is far more militarily robust than terrorist organizations and has the topography so hostile to invasions it makes Vietnam look like a cake walk. This? This right here? Especially with nuclear grade shit going on? Catastrophic endgame. This moment, second after stealing thousands of top secret documents, might just be the worst thing the current president has done. I'm not exaggerating, Iran is formidable enough to fuck with America almost on the same level as Russia and China.
how is this world war 3?
Just because USA goes to war does not mean the entire world goes to war.
When Russia(who got just as much power as the USA) starts it war, the EU pretty much back up Ukraine, that can be consider to be closer to world war 3 than this shit that TACO starts.
Well, if you think about it, with US focusing on Iran (and it being divided at home), I think China will get its chance to go after Taiwan, if it drags into another endless war AND if the US remains paralyzed or unstable at home - then we get a world war if China slogs through Taiwan which drags in the other nations
The comparison to a quagmire of cells and civil unrest and faction in-fighting after a dramatically optimistic attempt at changing the Iraq culture is not the same argument that Iran has a comparable military force to the United States.
Seems this whole thing was much closer to the Syria strikes from 2018. I remember when that was gonna cause WW3 as well and it only killed some Russian spies. Iran has been a paper tiger for a while now.
