And going back to the central theme of the piece, it’s hard to believe that Iran wants outright war with anybody. Sure, their leaders are a nasty bunch and its true that they have sponsored mischief against Israel and others.

His strategy was to take Austria, then allow the Sudeten Germans to undermine Czechoslovakia, then join with Russia to split up Poland and then finally to attack Russia. France and England declared war on HIM.
Doesn’t make Hitler a nice guy, but let’s at least try to recognize facts.
