    5000 marines dying for a man who raped and then murdered and then ate tiny little baby children.

    Damn, what a way to go.

      I doubt 5000 marines are going to die in Iran. We might loss a few hundred… But that is going to be 5000 marines that are away from their families for a long time. That’s going to be billions of dollars spent supporting those Marines. Most importantly, it’s going to be tens, if not hundreds of thousand of people in Iran killed in an invasion.

      Iraq and Afghanistan were costly, and lengthy failures for the US, and we had fucking plans for how to deal with them. There is no fucking way the clown cabal running the government right now had any kind of plan for a stable and independent Iran after this.

        Like missile defense systems that are being canibalized out of Asia to serve Israel, this is Japan “defensive” assets that will be kamikazeed onto Iran.
