Trust me, the GOP didn't need DJT to take them down. They did it to themselves
If anything, the GOP rode DJT's coattails - most unwillingly

The senate and house GOP lost the midterms already.

Hell, they probably stamped the manifests

If the GOP would pass the SAVE Act and other pro-American bills and approve Trump’s judges then they could share in the winning, but apparently they would rather lose and be the minority party.

Is the other side of the same coin....as compromised and corrupt as their counterparts when push comes to shove
If it weren't for the initial flurry of EOs, nothing would have been realized
I assume DJT and his inner circle did a lot of planning in that 4 year absence

Same thing happened in Libya, don't fight an insurgency, become the insurgency.

I agree it's going to be a blood bath and the next two years Trump and party will be in investigations. Lame duck

I think it will be a huge mistake to put ground troops in iran... I hope I am wrong.

Are we really going to release sanctions and let the Iranians sell all that oil sitting around in tankers?

Like I said a week or two ago, we will not be deploying infantry to fight like we did in Iraq. The only boots on the ground will be special ops types of actions. We will be the ones sniping them... not the other way around.

How bout let Israel do the sniping with their own ground troops

His argument isn't based on what the Pentagon is saying. It's based on how everyone else is behaving.
VDH's rule: Europeans never agree to go anywhere near a conflict unless they think the winning side has already been determined. They didn't help in the early days. Now they're starting to move. That movement is not idealism. It's a calculation. They've looked at the battlefield and decided which way this ends.
The Saudis, the Emiratis, the Qataris — these governments have survived for generations by reading the regional climate with precision. When they expel Iranian military attachés, when they intercept Iranian missiles over their own capitals and say nothing about American strikes, when the UAE reaffirms its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the United States mid-war — they are not making ideological statements. They are placing bets. And they are betting on the United States.
This is the one that should stop you cold. Al Jazeera — the Qatari state media network, historically critical of American military action, the network Tucker Carlson and the anti-war right love to cite against Israel — is now calling the U.S. bombing campaign brilliant and effective, and saying it has been underestimated. When the media outlet of a nation that hosts both the largest American air base in the Middle East and a Hamas political office starts praising American military effectiveness, the message is unmistakable:
A-10 Warthogs and Apache helicopter gunships are now flying strike missions in Iranian airspace at will. VDH's point: you only deploy those aircraft when there is effectively no air defense left to threaten them. They are slow, low-flying, close-support platforms. Their presence confirms what the Pentagon has been claiming — Iran has no meaningful air defense remaining.
Iran's strategy now is rope-a-dope. Run out the clock. Wait for American public opinion to shift. Hope the midterms create political pressure on Trump to stop. It is the only play they have left.
VDH's conclusion: if Trump sees it through — and he believes he will — the regime falls. Not in years..

I am interested in seeing how that works out. iran has a population of around 90 million. approximately 3x larger than afghanistan during that war, 3x iraq during that war, and over 2x all of vietnam(both north and south) during that war.

I think it is very early to be saying things like this with such certainty.
With that said, I hope the end game to this war does not involve an extended occupation of Iran by US forces. It hasn't worked well in past conflicts, regardless of who was president at the time.
While I generally trust Trump as President, serious questions about the cost of the war, cost of rebuilding Iran, and other long-term problems remain.
Is the world better off without a powerful radical Iranian regime? Without question, but unfortunately it comes with a price.

Iran has been occupied by Imperialistic, Islamic Mullahs and the IRGC and local police force yet underneath has been a Westernized populace. This is not the typical tribalism one oftentimes associates with the ME.
An occupation of terror for 47 years is not long enough to outlive the generations
