Iran must want a modern version of Alexander burning Persepolis to the ground.


You're honestly comparing ancient Persians to modern Iran. Lol.  they were far ahead back then.


I'm saying the United States would do to Tehran what Greek did to Persepolis, if Iran were to get out of line.


US is far superior to Iran today. Iran has poor infrastructure. Back then Persia was on par with the Greeks. So thats why your comparison was kinda stupid. No offense.   OR you're trying to point out that the "WEST" will crush the EAST. You have that mentality?


Greek burned Persepolis to the ground. The United States would burn Tehran to the ground. I'm saying the destruction that Iran would face, would be akin to the destruction Persia saw. The Achaemenid Empire ceased to exist after Alexander was through with them.

I never once said that Iran's military was on par with the United States' military. Or that the west is better than the east. Your assertion that Persia was on par with Greece when they fought is wrong. Persia's economy was in ruin due to oppressive taxes.


I get it you're one of those folks that rely on movies such as "300" for history lessons.  You should actually do some real research kid. Not just about the glorious Alexander The Great.  Whom I think has been fictionalized yet I still admire his courageousness.



I trust no one, not even myself.
