In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ Rick brings former US army officer Stanislav Krapivnik and a big map of the Middle East. They take a look at the potential outcomes of a possible US ground invasion of Iran, with Donald Trump recently saying that he’s ‘not afraid of’ a second Vietnam. Krapivnik says the best option is impossible - an invasion through the North, via Kurdistan and Azerbaijan. The former officer says that the Kurds have already rejected the idea of getting involved in this mess; while Azerbaijan send humanitarian aid to Tehran, rather than threats of an invasion. Another option is to attack through Iraq and Kuwait – but Krapivnik dismisses this idea, highlighting that Iraqi militia in the region attack US forces 24/7. The final option – could a landing through the Persian Gulf and heavily mountainous area be possible? Krapivnik says yes… if the US drafts one million servicemen and sends them into Iran. Take a look at the big map yourself– here on RT International.
