I want to be clear that I am done with foreign wars.
Just for conversation's sake, I don't see Iran as any particular hill to climb for the US in concert with Israel.
Iran and Iraq fought to a standstill and we dealt with the military part of Iraq in weeks. I understand they were weakened by Kuwait, but unless Iran has all those "WMD" that never showed up and doesn't mind using them around the Middle East, the US and Israel would destroy Iran's air force and bomb them into submission with a low casualty rate. The only boots on the ground would likely only be Israel's.
With Israel handling the clean up it might even be easier than Iraq.
I am of course wrong if China chooses to fight for Iran, (Russia will not imo), but Israel or not, I can't see us in such a war without knowing exactly where they stand.
