    The geography alone will prove problematic. And even if they lose, that doesn’t mean we win. I say we, I mean “The United States.” It will be expensive, we won’t achieve our geopolitical objectives, we’ll alienate our allies, I seriously can’t think of what is actually in it for the US.

      Dude, Iran has no hope against what’s amassing in the area over the last few weeks. A few pitiful Russian weapons that no one’s trained to use? Then what?

      we’ll alienate our allies

      That nuclear aircraft carrier and its escort has sailed. Probably to the Red Sea under orders from the real commander.

        I mean we’ll really alienate them. Y’all aren’t happy with us right now, because we’re acting a fool, but we aren’t out in the cold yet.
