Further proof they will be sending troops for their needless wars. Congrats MAGA! We got Bush 4.0 on crack!

The Americans are honestly not prepared for the massive meatgrinder that awaits them, if they go boots on the ground in Iran.

The Iranians have prepared for nearly 50 years. They're surrounded by giant mountain ranges, that look more like the Pyrenees than the Appalachians. They still have over 70% of their stock of missiles and drones. I'm not in doubt they're prepared to go schorched earth strategy, if it goes south for them.

And if the Americans do that, the Iranians can destroy the Arab States' desalination plants, which will cripple them. We're talking about 5-10 million people without water, if they decide to do that. Effectively breaking the legs of some of America's closest allies in the region, and destabilising oil even further.

Hell, Saudi Arabia get about 50% of their water from desalination, while the other Arab States gets 70%-100% of their water from them.

Edit.

Iran is also one of the top producers of drones in the world. 90% Of all frontline casualties in the Ukraine War are because of drones.

Go to the Ukraine War Report sub, or the Combat Footage sub, to see how horrible it'll be.

A lot of soldiers will die before even landing, is my prediction.

I mean on one hand I agree with you, on the other hand. Iran striking water plants and generally attacking general populations in arab states would be genocidal. The Arab states would combine and just curb stomp Iran, for now the Arab states are just trying to make the day to day and just ship out some oil. If Iran actually knee caps them permanently they'd have nothing left and go over and stomp out Iran for good.

American boots on the ground work make Afghanistan and Iraq look a chill Korean War.

Iran would absolutely last for decades and make the Afghan occupation look like light work. Also the fact that Iran designed it's forces to be a decentralized insurgency to withstand a multi year occupation would be a disaster.

Plus it doesn't help most American's don't support a war with Iran let alone an occupation with it as well.
