What's the population of IRAN (in millions)?

How many soldiers on the ground do you think the US would need to control IRAN?

* HINT: the population of IRAQ was 30 millions in 2010, and you got fucked and couldn't control the country.

JUST BOMB THESE GOAT HERDERS TO STONE AGE SON
FUCK EYE RAN

Land war is impossible. Mutts would get nuked. Only thing they can do is a massive bombing campaign and hope the regime is toppled.

>>507963984 (OP)
1. About 80 I think, don't really care
2. Zero, it doesn't need to be controlled, just plunged into chaos

>>507963984 (OP)
we killed a million iraqis and their babbys are still being born deformed to this day because of all the depleted uranium we shot at them
the same will happen to iran

How many holocaust museums would the shoe piles of iranians fill?

Hmm more than a million and less than a billion. Did I do well? Are you proud of me?

>>507964081
you are like 1% of their land area.

USA should be helping Iran military to denukify you.

*taps sign*
all of them.

>>507964081
Shut up kike

>>507964141
You actually did them a favor. Now marrying 6 year olds is legal since they have to make up for it with numbers.

Ah yes, a power vacuum in a region full of tribal sentiments and bellicose populations and wide circulation of weaponry, what could go wrong? Kek.
Also the Saudis were quite happy to tolerate Israel as long as Iran and Israel were at each other's throat. If Iran is gone and Israel starts expanding in historically muslim lands like Syria and Jordan even the Sunni will stop acting friendly. Turkey is already seething. And good luck controlling Iran with a puppet regime for long. The first thing any pro-western regime will have to do is double gas prices since the Ayatollah literally went bankrupt over giving people near-free gas. They will remember that for two generations as they see feminism sweep through the country and various minorities chaotically vie for control. A few years of chaos and they will all intimately know why they let an extremist run the place. Because he actually kept shit together.

That has never worked. They will just live underground

Alaska Sized mountainous state with 80 million people
No one is invading

>>507963984 (OP)
America would need a force of like 5 million at least to ever hope to control the country.

Remember they sent almost 2 million to South Korea in the 50’s along with another 2 million allies and Korean troops

Can they control the skies? Sure
Can they control the sea? Sure
But that’t not enough and Iran can inflict a lot of pain which America can’t deal with.
Far more pain that Iraq ever could.

>hope the regime is toppled.
Yeah, they can hope that... except even liberal Iranians hate the US because they killed Mossadegh and backed the Shah who was a dictator.
The Shah was ousted by the people themselves, then the mollahs took over.

Sure, there's probably a good part of the population that doesn't want islamic rules, but it's not more disputed than Trump in the US or Macron in France.

The Iraqi army got completely decimated and surrendered within weeks. That's because being "with the regime" is not an ideological thing, it's a practical thing. It's a solid paycheck in peace time, but nobody wants to be the last soldier to die for a loser like Saddam Hussein. The same would happen in Iran.

> couldn't control the country
That's the grave mistake the US made: To think you can occupy Iraq and turn it into another US ally, but really the country is made up of many mutually hostile factions, religious strife and just plain mental retardation. Iran's support of Shia militias also had a role here. The actual people of Iran aren't anything like Iraqis, but either way the US would do well to not try occupation again.

>>507963984 (OP)
no invasion is possible with current technologies, period.
the problem is that not even an air campaign style serbia 1999 should be possible. russia and china must at least give iran full ISR coverage, best would be funneling into iran an insane amount of A2/AD equipment.

doubt it. they would more likely go into hamas/houthi mindset and become more radical

>>507965464
> even liberal Iranians hate the US
They don't hate the US to the point where they would side with the regime.

> there's probably a good part of the population that doesn't want islamic rules
Literally most of the country. Persians are not like Arabs, it's by for the most areligious country in the region. If you look at cities like Teheran many people simply don't follow the rules and the regime tolerates it for the most part.

The fact that a SEAmonkey like yourself thinks he is relevant at all in this discussion is very funny.

>hamas/houthi mindset
This is 100% an Arab thing. Arabs will rather set their own house on fire than admit they made a mistake. Iran would be a developed country if it wasn't for the regime, Yemenis would still be building houses out of mud and chewing khat all day.
