We’re going to war with Iran, now? That’s a horrible idea. The US is not well situated to prosecute a war against a large and very well armed opponent in that part of the world. Losses would be atrocious on both sides. The only way this is acceptable is if Donald Trump is leading an infantry charge on the front lines at the get go.
especially the country is surrounded by mountains and would be very hard to have a supply line to.
Did Top Gun: Maverick teach us nothing?!
They aren't going to give up nukes. Any chance at convincing any nuclear nation to give them up went out the window with what happened to Ukraine

Nuclear nonproliferation is dead. It died when the Budapest Memorandum was revealed to be worth less than the paper it was written on. Nuclear weapons are now - and will be for the foreseeable future - the absolute final word in guaranteeing sovereignty and territorial integrity, full stop.
..with what happened to Saddam Hussein and Colonel Gaddaffi.
Oh, the “strongest” country in the world is a pussy? Or wants to make sure everyone against another genocide is labelled as antisemitic while they sit back and pay for it?
lol. It’s both.
Always when I have a genius plan that doesn't go like I wanted I tell people of my other great plans so they don't notice my genius plan was fairly stupid.
