don’t decide to attack us in some way. We are weakening our military, our government is in complete disarray, the citizens are either very pissed of numb, and our security departments have been decimated, we cast off our allies, and we have a leader that is clearly insane.
Every day we fall deeper and deeper into the abyss and I think they are just sitting there patiently on the sidelines watching us fall apart and waiting for the right moment.
Just my opinion.
One other thought. Don’t be surprised is the attack we make on Iran is not at Kharg Island but rather at Isfahan where the uranium is. A marine assault on Kharg would be disastrous because the amphibious ships would be sitting ducks and the 82nd can go either places. Isfahan, by the way, would also be a disaster. Even if we could secure Isfahan how would we get the uranium out? It is surrounded by mountains.
