First of all, I was saying it as a joke! Secondly, if the Iranian military is "So" advanced, please enlighten me on all the "Great" fighter jets, tanks, etc, that have been produced!?
Iran is nothing more than, like you said, "A third world country, that depends on countries like Russia and China for their second hand equipment."
Iraq was a great example of that!
The possibilities that only Iran seek is to have nuclear weapons! If not, in 7 years when they have them, I will revisit your statements!
As goes for embargoes!, the only reason why they have not been as effective as they should is because Russia and China depend on Iran to buy their weapons from, "OIL" money!
Russia and China will not let Iran fall as long as they are buying weapons from them and giving them money that they want and need.
