This will likely come as a surprise to many Americans, many of whom are saturated with self-professed “experts” on cable news, the editorial pages, and the think tank circuit waxing ad-nauseam about how the Islamic Republic of Iran represents a danger to the world.

    Iran can do a lot of damage. It will also absorb much more damage if Iran attacks US forces. It will infuriate its main patron China if it starts a war because no shipping will enter or leave the Gulf unless the US Navy approves. No Gulf oil for China and it will pay $200/barrel for its imports.

    There’s a lot of overstatement in this, but I do think that Islam is on shaky legs in Iran.

    Is the Iranian military a joke? Probably, the trick is don't be the punchline. The only thing worse than underestimating an enemy, is to overestimate them.
