    My comment has nothing to do with it being like or not like Iraq. It’s about the war we had in Iraq that was pointless, costs billions, hundreds of thousands dead, and was for oil. Has nothing to do with the terrain, size, population or anything.

      This war is about the President being Israel’s bitch, if he can grab oil all the better, but no one expected to do so. They don’t have the capability for that short of a massive outlay that would end in fuckall. The military knows it.

      We won’t be invading with hundreds of thousands of troops.

        ??? I’m so confused. I didn’t say we would be invading with hundreds of thousands of troops. I said hundreds of thousands dead (civilian losses in most wars are very high). And yea this is Israel puppeting trump around. That’s obvious.

          The amount of dead so far is less than 2,000 last I heard. In iran.

          Now Lebanon, or Gaza andthe west bamk, that’s another story. The US and Israel does not have the juice to take Iran out.
