the world would be aghast... but they already are?
- vkou 5mo agoIt couldn't do it without switching to a war economy and full mobilization. And that would spell the end of the current US regime long before it would end the Iranian one. Trump's approval rating has a floor of 40%, but that would likely send it to the 30s, and turn MAGA into a 30-seat party.
- burnerRhodov3 5mo agoI completely agree. I guess i should say it vice a versa. It will be impossible to win Iran and has been proven by everything from vietnam to the middle east escapades... If you go to war with a country, you cannot allow the country to exist in any form if you truely wish the 'win a war'. It's a modern, wierd, primarily US based 'design of war', we learned from the cold war. Go in, destabalize it enough, ensure a coup every couple of years, so that region cannot ever be a material threat to you (like the ottoman empire)
- MengerSponge 5mo ago(except mexico) and Canada and Hawaii The fact that we've invaded every bordering country with the intent to conquer kind of invalidates your argument...
- burnerRhodov3 5mo agowell.. those are the ones we won?
- yareally 5mo agoThe United States did not win the invasion of Canada during the revolutionary war.
- MengerSponge 5mo agoThe US also did not win the invasion of Canada during the war of 1812. I'm sensing a theme.
