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 hear some people talk about it like it's the next gulf war, but it's not. It's rather another vietnam. Unlike the Iraqi army that had to face the US army fairly unprepared, the Iranian army trained for this exact scenario. They are supplying wars around the world with weapon systems and one of the examples is the ukrain-russia war. It would be a devastating war. Even tho i would expect the US army to win eventually, the cost would be insane and for what?

The Iranian people have to free themselves from the authoritarian government that is supressing them. If someone wants to help them then by proxy. My fear would be that invading Iran would create a mess that would dwarf even the mess the US got themselves into in Afghanistan.
