Iran too 'mighty' to attack

[Thraex]

Tehran, Iran (CNN) -- Iran is so powerful today that no country would dare attack it, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday during an annual army parade.

"Iran's army is so mighty today that no enemy can have a foul thought of invading Iran's territory," the Iranian leader said, according to state media.

"Of course, Iran is a friend and brother of regional and independent nations and it wants peace, progress and security for all countries," Ahmadinejad said.

I have always been amused when modern armies no matter which one really brag about their power.

What does a powerful army really mean these days anyways if by the time a greater power invades your country it is already more than clear by their strategical air strikes as to whether your traditional army is going to lose or win. If your air force is destroyed/terrible to begin with then your army is irrelevant, as seen when the U.S. invaded Iraq their army literally faded into the night as their obvious technological disadvantage became clear, what does a "strong" army even matter anymore if you don't have the technological supremacy?

Iran has nothing compared to U.S. or Israeli tech, they would be annihilated before their army had time to even properly mobilize. An army means nothing if you don't have the better technology to support it.

If Russia had a better air force and or tech than the U.S. it would be the same, it wouldn't matter how "good" our army was, whether it was armed with the best machine guns and had several million or not, armies are not what wins wars it is the sophistication of the hardware to which those armies use and or are protected by that matters now, Iran's army wouldn't mass up and allow themselves to be bombed to death or defeated by superior tech, they would do what the Iraq army did and disband internally with the hardcore 5-10% staying to meet their demise.

Does it really matter? Iran is sovereign, and when they are invaded I will be cheering for their success against the United States.

I don't care about Iran's sovereignty. They kill my Western brethren in Iraq by supplying factions with weapons and intelligence, they can be raped and pillaged by the Saudi's for all I care if they are destroyed.

And so does the United States, so what is your point?

[Smaland]

The only evidence we have that Iran is a threat to the United States is what we've heard in the major media, and I don't trust them to tell us the truth.

Therefore, as far as it depends on me, I am willing to leave Iran in peace.

I hope that any invasion plans are stopped before they get started.

Well I don't agree with your statement John

Well I don't agree with your statement John

With what? That Iran is sovereign or that the United States trains, funds, and equips folks to kill both western men and their prospective and current enemies? The U.S government has killed more of our western brethren than any middle easterner has ever done since the Crusades.

Well I don't agree with your new statement John


And duh I know Iran is sovereign, one can still be a nationalist and be for the invasion of an enemies territory and or nation, Hitler was surely a testament to that.
