    Yes, I don’t think a ground invasion of Iran is highly unlikely anymore, it is just unlikely.

    I think it is trending towards “likely” every hour though. There are no offramps on the horizon here in my opinion.

    Here is the thing I don’t think the Trump will try to occupy Iran, I just think ground troops might be used to destroy parts of it more thoroughly.

      They’re going to continue their bombing over the summer; they will send in some boots who will get absolutely destroyed, 100’s maybe thousands. Then they will drop a nuke right before the mid-terms claiming it was to save American lives (the same line they used in ww2 with Japan). That will be the emergency he needs to claim we’re in a world war or whatever to suspend elections.

      I think the “offramp” for the lunatics that doesn’t involve a ground invasion is using nukes. But I am just an anti-American tinfoil hat wearing rando on the net…
