Ron FrankeWhy the US and Israel are unlikely to win the war in Iran.
I’m reading a book, “1940”, by Richard Collier about the start of WWII focused primarily on Germany’s invasion and occupation of France and the attacks on Britain that was to lead to a German invasion.
There are parallels to the US/Israel attack on Iran. Germany underestimated the British resolve to fight Germany and the threat posed to the British way of life - Germany’s existential threat to Britain’s existence - on top of the German military's cavalier approach to the war they started.
Iran is facing a similar existential threat. Iran is fighting a perceived dangerous enemy that could lead to the extinction or severe harm of Iran and its current form of government.
Iran is literally fighting for its existence and this gives Iran significant purpose. Whereas the US faces no existential threat from Iran and therefore there is little or no desire to fight and die in this US/Israel imposed war.
