You've avoided the question for hours now. I asked it again last page and I'll repost for you

What is the regime going to hold out for, exactly, without boots on the ground, if we continue the bombing as part of our stated goals (without boots), that they would not otherwise hold out for?

mean what could the negative effects of telegraphing where you’re going and what you’re doing next when 77m people have put you in charge of the nation be.
That wasn't the question
You're flailing

I got the typical neocons/ignorant response
Yeah the switch between being anti-war to now supporting a war in a very complicated area seems to depend on the support for secular governance, but those defenders seem to overrate how many supporters for secular, democratic governance there actually are in the region. At one point in time, I recall Neocons insisting that all we needed to do was to give Iraqi's the right reading material in order for them to take on viewpoints more amenable to the US. And similarly, Iraq had a well-educated population, as Baghdad was considered the literary capital of the Arab world for a long time and actually had a tradition of secular, if not socialist, governance. None of that worked out all that well for anyone but I guess we have to learn that lesson again. I mean, the group that is going to defend this kinetic action won't learn, but everyone else will.

Not once.
And the smarmy attitude was not really necessary because people irl understood who I was and didn't act like retards in response.
You see it here because of the Dunning Kruger Effect and emotional types require it in response to their drivel.

You’re avoiding and flailing now. I actually got my shite pushed out in high school by 3 people who post here. They got so tired of my foolishness they pushed it out rather than in
But no really 3 people from my high school post here. Of course they all can’t stand my attention whore ways and wouldn’t be caught dead admitting it or hanging with me
Anyway, I’ve asked this question for hours and nobody can answer it sufficiently for me. Which is odd because I usually am satisfied with answers here regularly which is why I post 4000 times per day

Unless you think your enemy is stupid, they know what the options are and have known what the military options are for a long time. The US political class has signaled its intent on Iran for a long time, and Iran responded by designing part of their defensive network to withstand a loss of leadership. Whether the Iranians at the moment know whether boots on the ground is on or off-the-table is irrelevant when their entire defensive approach depends on boots on the ground. Their approach is the same that Shia militias have used since the Iraqi insurgency.

I mean, some of us did. The problem is that the US political class barely has to suffer any consequences. They are divorced from the consequences. That will lead to absolutely idiotic outcomes.

Why not?
Because modern warfare doesn't require boots on the ground. Leaders are being sniped with precision-guided munitions with pinpoint accuracy. Likewise, everything from mobile radar with missiles to underground missile defense systems are being obliterated with the same.

Have they capitulated? And grow up you toddler. I am stating a fact, that they built their defensive network to operate independently. Otherwise, shut up.
