North Vietnam had also been targeted during the Indochina War against the French. The USA had tried to coerce the French to use nukes against the North Vietnamese when the war was turning against the French, then making a desperate last stand at Diem Bien Phu. The French did not do so as they realized the consequences of the magnitude of their own casualties at Diem Bien Phu. Ho Chi Minh was instrumental in defeating and throwing out the French from Indochina. The rest is history.
But Ho Chi Minh's feat has also been shown to be possible by the Taliban in chasing out the USA from Afghanistan. This was a bigger feat of taking out the superpower of the world and is not just a mean victory, despite the length of conducting a war of attrition against the USA. The USA fights short wars with distinction resulting from its aerial power and weapons, but in a war of attrition it gets bog down and moral support collapses.
Now, let us wait to see another big historical moment when the Iranians chase the USA out of the Middle East. Do not say impossible. Man proposes and God disposes. Iran is on the right side of history and God can see the injustice inflicted upon the Iranians.

That mindset is never going to change. It is only right that China gets ready its deterrents and not wait and talk about not being the first to use nukes. When dealing with terrorists, no quarters should be given.
ReplyDeleteSomething big is going to happen to Iran, so says Trump. Oh, it will be nuked if that is what he is actually trying to say. What else is there to be so secretive not to say so. We know this is the final threat that Trump will come up with. Remember it is coming closer to November, and Trump needs all the fabrication to boost his standing in front of the rednecks and hillbillies for the midterm.
ReplyDeleteThe USA is the one and only rogue country that had ever nuked another country twice and threatening to do so many times after that. Now, all the fabrication about other countries having nukes as a threat to the world pales in comparison to what the USA had always planned to do. Even making pre-emptive fabrication that Iran will be a threat to the rest of the world if it goes nuclear. How many truly believe that? Wasn't that the same mantra being chanted against North Korea just years ago?
Which country had been nuked by North Korea, tell me when it was claimed to be a threat to world peace. All that the USA tried to do was and is antagonizing North Korea to do something crazy with its military exercises on North Korea's front yard. The USA failed to realize that countries are just looking for deterrents by having nukes just in case the rogue terrorist decides to play the Hiroshima and Nagasaki game.
If Iran goes nuclear, Saudi Arabia will have to follow and that is going to open a can of worms. Japan and South Korea are bound to follow, and the USA does not trust the Japanese as well. So, let us see.
Plans to target China is not just a joke. It is documented. There were also plans to seize China's treasury holdings at the peak of the COVID19. That would have sent a real message to others holding treasuries to ask 'Who is next' and crash the Ponzi scheme immediately.
