    “You are right to be worried, the Trump administration has no plan in Iran,” Warren said

    Ah, so it’s much better than I thought on one side.
    Question is, how much of a plan does Iran have?

        I mean, how many empires have passed through Persia, through that area? How many conflicts has that civilization endured? I’m not trying to hype myself up but, like, Iranians are fighting in home turf with thousands of years of military knowledge of their own terrain, against a hegemon that’s mobilized from half way across the globe. They must have something up their sleevse

          I always think about the millennium challenge where the USA Armed forces came together to run a test, the USA’s military vs Iran, and Iran decimated the USA so much they had to stop the test, change the rules son the USA has to win, and then declared victory for the USA

          I think the nastier stuff won’t happen until Iran is in a really bad situation. Maybe they could fire an advanced missile and strike Israel’s Dimona nuclear facility or carry out drone attacks inside the US. It’s easy to sneak drones around and assemble them, so I think we can expect attacks far away from the battlefield.

          One thing I’ll disagree with is this idea that sleeper cells will appear from no-where and massacre people at bars and nightclubs. It doesn’t seem like it’s Iran’s style - they’d rather hit a military base with a drone.

          Remember that while Iran’s command structure is ruined, they can still command operations globally through their intelligence officers.

          The hubris of the burger reich is truly astounding. They really think they can just waltz in and destroy a whole civilization that’s thousands of years old.
