How do you see this working out exactly? I mean look at Ukraine, and how much work it is for Russia with a bigger industrial base and a much simpler logistics situation. You genuinely think that the US has the capacity to put boots on the ground in Iran and actually control it?
You are right that Israel or the US could be insane enough to use nuclear weapons of course, but then we're living in a whole different world at that point.
No not control it, certainly not. I get the feeling they might think they could though, and mobilize towards that goal. I don't necessarily think they'd win, but I just think they're prepared to launch head-long into it and it'll make a huge mess for everyone no matter how it really goes.
And yeah as soon as anyone hits the red button, the entire calculus changes (and also likely the planetary ecosystem along with it).
I'm certainly not ruling out the US and Israel invading Iran. These people are absolutely insane, and they're capable of great acts of stupidity as we're already seeing. There's just no way this can end well for the empire.
Totally agreed, that's all I'm getting at. I don't think they're gonna win, I just think they're gonna try real hard and leave a lot of people dead (and a small group of people very rich) like usual.
yup, completely agree
