    Obviously nobody is doing a ground invasion of Iran. It’s so annoying seeing people frame it this way. As has been mentioned all over already, they’re going to do the air bombing campaign of Libya, Gaza, Vietnam, Korea, etc.

    They don’t need to do some meticulous ground invasion if their goal is just to reduce a society to rubble. They’ll just drop bombs and fire missiles until people are dying of water-borne diseases.

      We’ll see. There are a lot of factors to consider, not just troops obviously. We’ll have to wait and see if it has any real lasting impact.

      It’s still interesting to note how low the morale of US citizens is.

        I’d say dying by nuke doesn’t sound like a bad deal right now, honestly. Better than internment camp or wasting away as an elderly person in an isolationist society with no medical care or safety net after working constantly to make others rich. The problem is worldwide, too. It’s not just the US.
