Expert: The US will not be able to deal with Iran like it did with Yugoslavia
Iran, attacked American military bases tonight, is a much more serious adversary for the United States than Yugoslavia, Libya or Iraq - Washington should not count on a “small victorious war” with an eye on the presidential elections.
Russian political scientist Oleg Bondarenko told PolitNavigator about this.
“The speed and audacity of the Iranian response to the murder of one of its best generals, Soleimani, demonstrates the main fact of the early 2020s - the United States no longer has the moral and, most importantly, the actual “right of might.” The former world gendarme with Trump's disturbed hair is consigned to history.
Iran, unlike Iraq, Yugoslavia or Libya, is a large state, more than 80 million inhabitants, one of the leaders of world Islam. Washington will not be able to deal with him even with all its desire. Malaysia provided support to Tehran, and at least half of the Arab world joined it in the morning. A war with which the United States will not be able to cope,” Bondarenko predicts.
“The situation in Israel is of particular concern, where the third parliamentary elections of the year are due to take place on March 2 - “Bibi” Netanyahu cannot come to an agreement with his potential partners from “Blue and White” and “Our Home Israel.” At the same time, we should not forget that Iran has delivery missiles to Israel (which Tehran calls “little Satan”), but not to the United States. In a situation of aggravation, the temptation may be too great to play ahead, using available opportunities. Let’s hope this doesn’t happen,” the expert also noted.
He believes that Vladimir Putin's visit to Syria for Christmas was not accidental.
“With a lightning Christmas visit to Damascus in the company of the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Russian President Vladimir Putin anticipated Russia’s participation in resolving the situation in the Middle East. And he emphasized Moscow’s position - we are not going to leave the region anywhere,” Bondarenko concluded.
