How close are we to WWIII?

Ignore the headline. Some more interesting detail from Trita IMO.

@Mikado463 .. You laugh because I'm dreaming in technacolor because of the wish that Trump and Hegseth would understand that they cannot win this war?

I admit to not watching your attached video, rather your '4th World Power' claim. Iran has no Navy, Air Force or Intercontinental Nuclear missile capability, so how does that make them a 'World Power' ?

As for the US not being able or capable of winning this war, complete BS for the operative word is 'willing' and I suspect you know what I mean ......... the world does not want that !

They don’t have a navy by the US definition but they don’t need one. The arrogance and sheer stupidity of the American administration continues to fail to see that geography is favoring Iran to the extent that Iran will win this war. Iran’s power is not military but it doesn’t have to be. It’s economic and they and the Houthis control the goods coming out of that area. The US economy will fail as will the rest of the world. I would like to add that all the American bases in the middle east are in the process of being neutered and it will be a short matter of time that the gulf countries will eject the US from their borders. That’s a lot of power to exact that much influence into the region. The US has never won a war since WW2. Just saying. The US cannot win this war conventionally. If it chose nuclear as you are eluding to, Russia and China will wipe the map clean of the US and the world will become a toxic nuclear waste dump as a result of the US retaliatory strikes. Even in that scenario, the US has lost the war. Educate yourself and watch these videos. You are very much stuck in the old days of thinking. ALOT of things have changed as this war illustrates. Iran’s power and influence is growing and it affects far more influence across the globe than before the war started. This by definition is a world power.

My whole premise was World Power with respect to military. If Iran had the Nuclear capability(thankfully they don't) then and only then would they equal those you have mentioned.

I'm well aware of the economic impact of this Iranian mess. As for watching your talking head videos, nah I'd rather listen to some good music

Its not a symmetrical war though, and 'willing' does mean US gound troops. I'm not seeing much support for Tromp, Netanyhu, or Iran.
