They definitely can defeat US intervention and cause a lot of damage to their position in the middle east, but I keep mulling over what they can win. They can certainly force them to abandon some bases closer to them and maybe even keep a toll of some kind of the strait, but I don’t think it’s realistic to expect to force the US to abandon the middle east and even Israel. At that point they’d need to actually move troops or something to do that, which isn’t realistic.
Maybe just force them to give up sanctions? And make the bomb?
Thank you very much for the insights and recommendations! I will keep it in mind when I hunt for a copy - starred your comment
https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:On_War I actually uploaded it onto PW a while back lol, there’s a link to the good PDF in the foreword. I uploaded the gutenberg edition bc it was easier at the time :(
I didn’t think to check the prolewiki - thank you, that version I did not find so easily and already started on the older version. You are right to the modern ear the PDF version does flow better. I may end up reading both versions! Thanks again; much appreciated
