See, I knew someone was going to bring up that "young Austrian lad" -- Bavarian, actually LOL. Yes, we are always fighting the last war. Iran, like Germany in 1939, is a nation of 60 million with a very large demographic of young males. Iran controls the second largest reserves of oil in the Gulf. Iran controls access to the Gulf through the Straits of Hormuz. Iran has a whole division of "martyrdom volunteers" - 40,000 strong that are ready to blow up the infidel. Iran controls Hizbollah, the worlds most experienced and entrenched terrorist organization. Iran has taken over actively funding and training Palestinian terrorist organizations. Syria is practically a vassal state of Iran. Iran has tremendous influence in southern Iraq through Sadr and his militia, and possibly the Badr Brigades. China and Russia are beholden to Iranian energy. They don't need the Wehrmacht. All they need is the West's own lack of civilizational self-confidence, and the ability to cause small but persistent pain and pressure. This isn't about mass maneuver warfare on the fields of France. It is about a slow-burn, long-term asymetrical attack that will wear out the West's will to resist. Derek
