General Petraeus predicts Iran's downfall

- "Iran has a lot of capability if it chooses to employ it. If it does, it's going to lose in the end."
Iran will be "taking some deep breaths right now" as they await the US response to their strikes on the US military base near the Syria-Jordan border, says former CIA director General David Petraeus.

War is a racket. The profit is calculated in dollars while the cost is calculated in lives. General Smedley D Butler
I've read his book
No Adrian, you don't understand the Palestinians.
they need to put it on every junior high reading list.
@@mandarinandthetenrings2201 no u dont understand hasbara and aipac.
Gangsters of Capitalism!
Petraeus did not predict the downfall of the US occupation of Iraq, though. John Bolton predicted the downfall of Iran in 2019, 2020 and 2021
Maybe he'll b to be proven correct 3 times in due course. I know of a regime that has been predicting the fall of Taiwan for many. many years. YOU need to educate yourself and get a proper perspective of worl events.
@@holboromanyes I remember the scholars in the US that predicted the fall of Chinese nation every year since twenty years ago, and they renew the forecast postpone it twenty times.
Always predict as false prophets do.
Anyone who was on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq knew it was doomed from 2004 on, only politicians, generals, and civilians didn't see it coming.
He is still furious , like the CIA are, for getting kicked out of Iran when it nationalised its’ own oil under Mossadek and the Shah Shambles.
Is this not the same guy who said Russia would lose😂😂😂
He is related to comedian Zelensky🤣🤣🤣
He got to earn his keep.
well, they didnt win either, and theres still time
Has Russia won and we don't know it? Must have missed it.
Well Russia is losing. 😂 Just not who we think they are losing to. 😂 They'll easily be absorbed by China. 😂😂😂
Every time these guys talk about it they put in "brutal and unprovoked" almost like they're trying to convince us.
Funny isn't it. Like how the Western media constantly had to say "the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine" every time they mentioned it, but not once did they ever say "the unprovoked American invasion of Iraq".
Ai muppet
The next superpower is the internet. It’s what you get out of it! 1000 will talk maybe one will be right.
Because they are trying to convince us of the nonsense they are spewing out. US cannot deal with Houthis never mind Hezbollah or Iran!
Only idiots still fall for the trick.
Petraeus also predicted Taliban downfall and look how that went.
They can have Afghanistan the people there obviously wanted them in charge. Now they can deal with the strict enforcement of the Koran. The US was not planning on making Afghanistan a State Of the US.
This is more about threatening than predicting
I doubt Petraeus took into account Trump releasing Taliban prisoners and then inviting them to Camp David to negotiate without a representative from the Afghan government?
This is different. The Taliban is a single terror group that sort of runs a country, Iran's govt is trying hold a diverse nation together and is themselves susceptible to domestic revolts. They're a lot more fragile than the Taliban.
Taliban surrendered 4 times. Everytime Bush refused because he wanted to defeat them on the battleground, so the rich could get richer.
The safest thing to do with anything Patraeus says is to immediately believe the exact opposite will be the outcome. It's incredible that anyone stills listens.
That's not true. These are educated guesses. Education-something you missed .
He's such a hack. Made millions off of "service" to his country. He's the bottom of the barrel for military analysis.
@@markseldon9767 ah yes, insulting people. that will make them see your point, very smart.
Absolutely correct.

He’s paid well
A USA general has the authority to start a war without everyone else in the government saying a word?
@@9400lilly the reason or 911 was to create a system where they could basically start a war without going through the process, a side show of politicians pretending to discuss the merits.
The authority to fight back in self-defense is always a valid and recognized rule of engagement of the U.S.A. Armed Forces.

i mean its funny.. but come on man.. not like this
That deflated football is surely a metaphor for this interview.
Hey there Dr.King Schultz from Django
Since I was a child during the Vietnam War, Generals such as him have predicted victory and it always ends in shame and disgrace. Maybe the US should get out for once and for good.
He has deep state stamped on his head
Israel wanted assad removed ,putin stopped that,thats one of the reasons we have this war in ukraine.
We could have had victory in Vietnam if the Democrat Congress hadn't pulled the rug out from under the South Vietnamese government. We had victory in Afghanistan for all practical purposes until Joe Biden unilaterally, abruptly and chaotically pulled our troops out, leaving billion of dollars of advance military equipment behind.

Patreus is a senior member of The Atlantic Council, the ISW, Royal United Services Institute, The McCain Institute for International Leadership, etc.
These are the belligerent geniuses who have propelled the world to the sorry and dangerous state it is currently in.
In other words he's a defender of freedom and democracy and you're bitter about that.
Blame the people advocating for self defense and not the warlords and dictators who actually have brought the world to the brink of war. Putin invaded Ukraine. China threatens to invade taiwan. Hamas invaded Israel and killed 1300 civilians. Do not start wars you don’t want.

Based on the track record of this superannuated (and convicted) windbag we can safely assume that there is absolutely no way that we will see Iran's downfall.
That applies to your windbags as well, comrade.
Thats not what Scott Ritter is predicting.
Check out Col. Douglas Macgregor too, but he's been pretty well scrubbed from YT.
“All wars are started by angry old men, but they are fought by young men who die for reasons that are beyond them. In the end, the same old men sit around tables and the war ends. Nothing is achieved. Nothing is gained. New faces move into old castles, and the sons of the dead build families ready to feed new battleground graveyards.”
- David Gemmell
All militaries prepare for the previous war. With the new drone technology, even countries with limited resources can now have the ability to extend their reach far beyond what was possible just a few years ago, and it's cost-effective too.
The military industrial complex makes more money . American military budget this year 85,000,000,000 dollars you need a few wars to justify this and the media needs to generate enough fear to get the people to pay for it .
@@James-hm9onthe last attack on American soil was 911 Americans have the memory of a may fly
There's plenty of young men and women who have started wars as well, or contributed to doing so.
Interesting that you use a quote from a fiction author. Perhaps some people that have gained their independence from oppression through war might disagree. There is no guarantee on peace.

Good idea
Let’s put you on the TV
Yeah i can smell it a mile off. Most people can see what's coming and you don't need to be a general to see it.
Petraeus is the US's Spock. He's still in the loop, he's always on call.
World wars do not catch us by surprise. Before WW1 the probability of war - not just the possibility - was widely discussed. Before WW2 rearmament, including in the UK, was running at full pace. WW3 is now, slowly but surely, being contemplated by more and more of the world's influential people. We don't know how the dominoes could fall next - conflict with Iran might be the spark.
WW1 happened as Germany arose as superpower challenging the old powers (UK, US, Russia) people saw war coming from long way and they embraced it with eagerness (not knowning what modern war would look like). I think the situation is bit similar, we see war is coming the different is that the populations DO NOT want it. Lets see how these ev il fkcs like patreus here trick us into war.
I'll go with a lot of that. It's often said that WW2 was caused by the failure of the Treaty of Versailles to provide a solution the German people could live with. I see the point but think it's only part of the story. The main problem is that fascism prospers in difficult times as mass psychology reacts to hardship and political instability. I'd say that the war in Ukraine is a consequence of the Russian failure to move past WW2(Russian sacrifice etc. was a vital part of Soviet propaganda intended to keep the masses quiet) and the subsequent failure of glasnost. Putin was also greatly encouraged by Trump's reckless abandonment of Afghanistan which sent a clear message of non-engagement. I don't see any culpability on the part of American generals. If you want aggressive military types have a conversation with Croatian military officers, as I had on one occasion, and walk away with grey hair. American military commanders are really quite mild.@@harukrentz435
The borders wide open and they will hit us here worse than we can imagine.

He also predicted Taliban, Russia, Syrian downfall 😂
When Russia falls Syria will follow.
Hafez al Assad said USA has abandoned its every companion and Syria will wait until US abandons Israel too. That might still be possible?
@@iivaridark6850 You are fooling yourself if you believe that. Hafez al Assad is not telling the true facts to you. His hatred has made him blind on one eye...

Yep
General I don't see Paula's picture behind you on the wall.
Very useful to listen Petraeus to know the future: If Petraeus says Iran will lose, then 100% sure Iran will win.
Patraeus is the best when it comes to commentary on global conflicts.
I wonder if there is some significance to the flat football and the book?
The US has been constantly at war for nearly 100 years but has lost all of them since 1945. Why does Petraeus think this would change?
I'm not advocating for more war, but we certainly didn't lose the Gulf War in the 90's.
One could also argue that today's thriving Vietnam would not have happened, had we not interfered. Ditto for South Korea.
What wars has the USA lost in the last 100 years?
@@Quidisi
The Gulf war ??? What did you win ????
You thought Iraq was bad……wait until you see what happens when you take on Iran !!! Absolute lunacy !!!
Exaggerating and conflating much ?
Because of several key differences, like most of those wars being ones we needlessly inserted ourselves into & then just let the capitalist overlord machine gorge itself. But when the US concentrates force, like the first Gulf or Serbia, or when our normally divided and disinterested populace gets provoked into uniting because someone wants to FAFO - then we go super Saiyan and remind everyone why we don't have free healthcare like, "weeee look we have the world's largest air force!" then, "heyyy we also have the world's second largest air force...and it's got its own boats! Murica!"
But yeah if Iran wants to tango, the UN security council including both Russia and China has given green lights to US and UK regarding Middle East ops so far and given the size of the economy and the world using the fk out of our exports, will likely do so again
Are you rocking an Audeze?
General Patreus, two school of thoughts
Women you can influence and take advantage of them
1. They are adults they should know better
2. Be moral, do the right thing and not take advantage of your position
Having said that same applies on the global stage
Several hundred million dollar drone? What?
Trying to catch the former CIA director with a Democrat vs Republican question was distasteful, glad he handled it gracefully.
How did Patreus do in Afghanistan 🇦🇫 😅😅
Same as Iraq

It’s been 2 years and Russia still hasn’t wrapped this thing up? Smaller country right on their border?
Petraeus predicted an Ukraine victory and wanted to drink beer in Crimea one year ago.
The only reason Ukraine has not won is because Biden and Europe dragged their feet providing weapons to Ukraine badly neededand giving only enough for Ukraine not to lose. Had Ukraine possessed 155mm artillery, Excalibur rounds, Himars, ATACAMS, cruise missiles, tanks and F16s in 2022, the outcome would have been different. The Ukranians certainly have fire in their bellies and are not afraid to fight.

Military, industrial,congressional complex actually comes from Eisenhower's presidential farewell speech, but he was strongly advised to censor the congressional part out, which he did. Incidentally, did I mention that I have a cat? He told me this piece of history. He's very intelligent 😺🙀
Eisenhour's term was simply "Military Industrial Complex" McCain added Congressional to indicate that congress had joined that complex. And coming from him (a charter member of the "Military, industrial,congressional complex") is pretty damning.

The UK hasn't followed through on its NATO commitments. Our armed forces require much better funding. Recruitment is low and it's easy to see why.
Why
Recruitment is always low in times without direct conflict. It's not a worry now. It's a worry in 10-20years time when the abcs generations take hold.
It's always left up to America to be the backbone of NATO. More countries should step up because if something happens they will be crying for America's help!
@@brendanalfo411 let's hope nato is gone by then
Recruitment is low because the main recruitment pool has been told being a man is bad, being British is bad, being a patriot is bad, being white is bad.

A military system that promotes someone like this to 4 stars should be overhauled or scrapped.
You don't prevent war by doing proportionate responses. You prevent war by doing disproportionate responses aka peace through superior firepower. If you don't go big, the enemy just gets emboldened because they don't know they've lost. You have to have a little war to prevent a big war. History is replete with examples. I don't know why policy makers and military leaders never learn this lesson. Each generation thinks it's different this time and that somehow they can escape the hard decisions.
Problem with that is if you go disproportionate they retaliate because they won’t have a choice it just ends up in chaos.

Removing Iran's ability to export oil must be tempting, as that would have an immediate and serious impact on Iran's finances.
But cutting off almost one third of Chinas energy supply will most certainly make the region "spicy". I think the US needs to think about a more subtle strategy. ...Iran is already in trouble from internal pressure. So maybe start arming, supporting and training the dissidents could be another way (its more long term, but also more safe)

Umm, before war in Ukraine, the entire world spent $1.92 trillion on defense.
NATO spent $1.1 trillion of that, and America alone spent about $800 billion (about 45% of world total)

Which means the not-American NATO countries spend about the same as Iran's GDP.
