General Alexander Richard Shirreff, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe (2011-2014), on the Iran war:

"The way this war is going to go is that America and Israel will reduce Iran to rubble, smouldering cities with rubble, and an angry, wounded, vengeful population. And America will then walk away. Trump will declare victory and he will walk away.

And any nation that has been allied to America in this will then own the problem. And this is going to be a massive, long-lasting problem right in the heart of the Middle East with massive strategic implications.

(This is going to be) another Afghanistan, another Iraq - an Iraq to the power of 20 on steroids, because look at the size and scale and sophistication of Iran as a state.

Do we want to own this? No, we do not want to own this, because America will walk away, of that I am 100% certain, leaving absolute chaos behind."
