    Mate. You were in Afghanistan for 20 years at a cost of 2.6 trillion and left it in worse shape with the same people in charge that you went in to overthrow, but with more hatred against the U.S. and the other western nations that helped.

    Iran’s had 50 years to also prepare and is waiting for Americans.

    A Patriot missile costs $4 million to shoot. A shaed drone cost between 10-30k. So far American might has proven pretty unsuccessful at stopping these drones overall.

    What are boots on the ground going to do against cheap but destructive warfare when hundreds are launched at the same time at the same target, which in this case are human beings?

    American simply doesn’t have the tech to stop this type of attack. These things fly under the radar and have 1 single purpose: To kill. So far, they’ve proven effective. Just ask Ukraine.

    Look at the Israeli iron dome. It’s becoming harder to stop the barrage of attacks from the drones, cluster and ballistic missiles Iran is throwing at them.

    These types of systems are good for periodic attacks but you quickly run out of ammo fighting them, hence the U.S. pulling military ammo and weapons from places such as South Korea.

    I think you’re really romanticizing the capability of American warfare here.

    I’m neither with Iran or the U.S. in its current state both countries suck and both need new governments.

    However I fucking seriously despise the U.S. at this moment in time. I can’t wait for the Trump regime to die, but America has dug such a hole that not a single other country is coming to their aid.

    I think America is in for a big shock when they start moving grunts to the forefront. It’s not going to be pretty for them. Hopefully you and or your kids are not within a draft able age, because it’s most likely coming if you see what they’re doing with increasing the age of eligibility.

    There’s a quote from a song by one of my favourite bands (bad religion) that I grew up listening to from my days when it was the gulf war:

    “God, I know that it’s wrong To kill my brother for what he hasn’t done. And as the planes blacken the sky. It sounds like heaven is falling.

    God I want to be a man, but I won’t want to die with a rifle in my hand. And as the planes blacken the sky it sounds like heaven is falling. “

    All this death, because a corrupt rapist doesn’t want those Epstein files released, and a failed TV host is a bootlicker who also wants to kill as many people as possible, even if it’s Americans.

    If America puts boots on the ground in Iran, it’s game over for American soldiers. They’ll get slaughtered like pigs at the trough.

    History should provide every American about how poorly it does in war when they can’t just nuke a country to win. Just don’t read your own history books as they are full of lies.

    The amount of American lives lost and bloodshed to win this stupid war would be massive and they’ll create way more extremists who still hate America.

    American soldiers in mountains will have zero capability to stop the Iranians that have most likely been preparing for something such as this for decades.

    Afghanistan should have been the litmus test for this, but the pathetic population voted in a 34 time convicted rapist and pedophile (twice), and alcoholic wife beating news anchor who’s not only unqualified to report the news, but is actively firing very qualified generals because they wont toe the line for operation Epstein distraction. Just as you said.

    Boots on the ground would be another occupation where neither side win, they’d spend trillions of dollars on a stupid war and just like every other war, you’ll pull out like JD Vance when he’s about to cum in the White House couch and leave a mess everywhere and move on.

    It’s literally the American manifesto. Invade, lose, pull out and claim victory.
