Iran says it's ready for full-fledged" war.
The gauntlet has been thrown down! Iran is ready to wage full fledge war with The USA! I wonder If The United nations can intervene now or later to save face after seeing who won first? I wonder if that turkey has tactical nukes feathers in it's wings? :shock:

I honestly think Trump is willing to try something new and different instead of throwing American lives away in protracted wars of attrition.
Iran destroyed the Saudis oil capabilities forcing the end-users to back them for their oil supplies. Trump has seen this coming and has consolidated much of America's capabilities inside its borders with supply lines, not as dependant on foreign deliveries.
Ameria is oil independent, it can afford to do without Iranian oil, and if need be could take down Venuzula pretty quickly.
And as a sidebar, a few oopsies tossed into Sader city and a few other spots in southwestern Iraq would solve a lot of problems. And the Taliban might even pull their horns in, one of the easier lessons to learn is through somebody elses pain
I honestly think the upside cancels most of the downsides. Europe is going to scream, so screw'em. They have their own problems, a recession, and the EU is on the verge of disintegration.
I'm sure the U.S. also has a few surprises nobody has seen yet, Trump has hinted at this a few times. The only real question is if the U.S. has enough Tomahawks to get the job done? And I'm eager to see the surprises that Trump hinted at.
And politically one way to get reelected is to start a war. Tried and proving tactic.
Turkey wants the Kurds gone from northern Iraq, the Kurds dead in northern Syria, everything north of the Euphrates river in Syria and Allepo.
The wild card is if Russia makes a move threatening a second front for the U.S. or North Korea or even China as a second or third front.

Pakistan has tactical nuclear weapons as small as 125-250 grams which are capable of destroying a targeted area, like Railways. Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad has claimed, amidst fresh Indo-Pak tensions over Kashmir.

To win - go all in.
No boots-- just BOOM for the sand fleas.
The entire engagement should be with missiles, drones and air dropped bombs.
After they are decimated, not a single cent should be expended in/on that country for "rebuilding', etc.
ANY and all "needs of the people" remaining can be paid, in cash, by that country.
The ONLY way the radical Muslims have been driven back into the dark ages is by force ... much like when the US Marines beat them into submission on the shores of Tripoli many decades ago.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:
I would believe 125 - 250 Kilogram nukes. Perhaps even 250 Lb. nukes.
125 - 250 grams is some pretty stupid reporting.

Libya and Iraq are some interesting examples. I do not believe the world would be a safer place if the same policies were employed in Iran.

Anything less, is a loss.

Clearly, Iran has NO IDEA of the firepower the USA could rein down upon them.

All depends if they use total war Tactics and The USA kills thousands of civilians then Iran could get some decent help from their allies.Sooner or later there will be a conflict with them and then a false peace in the whole region. It was seen and foretold by a greater power long ago.

Some articles of this agreement are classified but overall, it is aimed at expanding military cooperation between the two countries," he said, adding that "the agreement can be called the first of its kind between the two sides."
The deal is a "turning point" in military cooperation between Iran and Russia, he pointed out.
Reminds me of a moment in my misguided youth when I thought it was a good idea to make some time with a somewhat trashy female one late fall evening. The next time I went to town for an evening's entertainment, the female's fiancee(she didn't seem to have either a fiancee or a ring the previous Saturday night) and 3 of his "gang" (really seemed like just 4 similar losers in an old Ford Galaxy) approached my car. They made some threats and challenged my actions with the female suggesting I was invading "their territory". When they asked if I wanted to "rumble" (I'm sure they'd heard that at the drive movies) I just reached behind the seat and presented a pump 12 gauge and asked when they wanted to start. I'll bet there wasn't any tread left on the rear tires of that old Galaxy by the time they got out of sight.
Four against one looked like pretty good odds until the playing field evened up.
And gas company bribes.
