Decades old? The Sunnis and Shiites have been killing each other for 1,400 years.
I'd like for the Iranians to kick Saudi ass, making it harder for the Saudis to keep funding Wahhabi terrorism around the world.
But after that, it would be nice if the Iranians would revert to Zoroastrianism, the grand old religion native to their country, instead of the Arab import of Islam.

Anyone think maybe we need to just call it a day, count our losses and leave and ignore the constant drumbeat of who the next boogeyman is that is coming after us so we can continue to build up our security theater, war machine and boost profits for the defense industry.
As for the Saudi's fighting their own battles - not a chance in hell. We will rush to their defense
if your opponent has the air superiority.
Has anyone taken a tour of Iran's nuclear weapons?
OH! That's right! They don't have any?
That would be awesome.
I would like the Iranians to win because they seem to have more brains than than stupid Arabs.
In the end, I want Islam to lose.
The first thing that would happen is the Straights of Hormuz would be closed

"Saudi AF is head and shoulders above Persian rag-tag collection of obsolete hardware and out-of-practice pilots"
Browsing around last evening I could not find anything to support that statement.

Really? You browsed the whole interwebs day and night and couldn't find the list of hardware on both sides? I find it hard to believe.
The first thing that would happen is the Straights of Hormuz would be closed and 28% of the worlds oil supply would disappear leaving the US 9.5 million barrels a day short. Sure that would really be awesome.
Why don't you provide the source of your information that the Saudi AF is head and shoulders above? You made the statement, back it up.
By the way has anyone bothered to inquire as to what type of government the people over there want or did the U.S. and it's "allies" make that decision for them since we always know what is best for people.
But why should we be fair to extremists who want to kill us?

If the Iranians closed the straits of Hormuz, that would be the end of the Iranian Navy and Air Force, at a minimum.

Yeah sure. We heard the same BS when Saddam Hussein was about to get attacked. Super tankers could just anchor for a few days until the war is over.

If the USA is supporting the Saudis, obviously they will have the air force WE deem they should have. The $350 billion in weapons we are selling to the Saudis are not WW2 planes.
The team we support will win the war.
And the end of their life blood oil revenues. We have alternative sources of energy, but they have no alternative sources of income. We have them by the balls. :)
" there by a long shot. We are there for nefarious reasons that have little to do with freedom and democracy but we don't have the guts to get out since that would mean admitting we can't like without their oil.
We aren’t there to “win” anything. Just to spend money and create demand for weapons.

Iraq doesn't control the Straights of Hormuz. Iraq is at the end of the Persian Gulf. Check a map. That would be the few days like the Iraq/Iran war. Those few days?
The mig 29's the russians are selling Iran aren't WWII vintage either. They are capable of taking on an F 15. Pilot skill would be the deciding factor. The F5 is very capable also. They were used as aggressors for many years by the US Navy/Air Force and could regularly beat an F15 with the right pilot.

Tactics and training win air wars not hardware. That's been proven time and time again.
American weapons are far more superior to any communist crap
Strategist saysAmerican weapons are far more superior to any communist crap
Is that why we couldn’t win in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, or Syria? Or could it be that we never actually wanted to win. We just wanted to spend a fuckton of money blowing shit up to make our military industrial complex overlords richer.

How come Saudi Arabia and Iran don't get along?
Saudi Arabia and Iran - two powerful neighbours - are locked in a fierce struggle for regional dominance.
The decades-old feud between them is exacerbated by religious differences. They each follow one of the two main sects in Islam - Iran is largely Shia Muslim, while Saudi Arabia sees itself as the leading Sunni Muslim power.
