Not yet.

I still say that previously entrenched issues within Iran are becoming MUCH more pronounced.

Agreed. I’m only speculating.

I suggest that this is a siege like scenario. A power grid with a crippled source, MAJOR fresh water issues, a very divided population (both geographically and ethnically) are issues that have to be incredibly difficult for Iran to manage.

I would suggest that those cracks are now fissures. As such…no boots on the ground (at least not yet).

We must fight them over there in Iran so that we do not have to fight them here at home.

We won the Cold War without troops on the ground.

I’ve said all along you aren’t taking out this regime without troops on the ground, it’s impossible. Iran also wants a ground war because they are twisted zealots.

And the narrative Trump and Bibi pushed about the Iranian people uprising is never going to happen, they have zero capability to do so.

We've been fighting them for 50 years now...the only difference is that they were actually killing our people and we were just taking it.

If we can seriously delay their ability to create a nuclear bomb AND let them know that we can take out their leadership whenever we feel like (as we just did with Israel's help), then this action was worth it. Granted, I hope we can free up the Straight, but, if we can not, then let Europe and Asia pay the fees to get their oil from that area.

So far, the IRGC has only grown stronger and solidified its grip on the government.

The U.S. is running out of options.
Bombing alone is not going to “win” anything..,

We have never won a war in the Middle East in any meaningful, sustainable way, and this one won’t be the first. We are so fricking stupid to keep trying.

There was a point wars were only won with boots on the ground. Then that changed.

This isn't really true. We achieved objectives in the past. Like getting rid of Sadam so you can have cheap gas.

But everyone wants to be disingenuous.

Your thread title infuriates me. What war did you personally see that WAS won with ground troops?

That depends on the desired outcome.
Trump never set out to conquer the territory of Iran.
