I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Kinda. The Russians need to invade and occupy Northern Iran before we can follow the Threads playbook. If we just jump in by ourselves, it's more like a bad SNL skit from 1980.

Or somehow think that Iran hasn’t been watching the US fight in rural and urban environments in two of its neighbors and taking close notes, or spent the early 2000s using Iraqi insurgent groups as their testers for weapons that can defeat US armor and countermeasures. Or doesn’t have a rich historical record and a coherent national identity stretching back thousands of years; no, the modern Iranian military and state is clearly built on a cult of personality surrounding Saddam Hussein Ayatollah, uh, What’s His Name and will clearly crumble once the symbols of his power come under attack and the veneer of invincibility is lifted.

It’s not that Grover’s predictions about Iraq were wrong, it’s that he was 16 years ahead of his time and thinking of Iran instead.

I love this Bolton playbook.

1. Tear up nuclear deal, cease inspections of nuclear facilities.
2. Claim Iran is developing nukes without any way to verify if the claim is true or false
3. Levy sanctions against Iran
4. Complain when they get desperate
5. ???
6. Snuffy gets incinerated by an EFP inside an MRAP

I think cooks generally(not all of them), know better than to talk that way. It seems to be that the “combat arms adjacent” who are the ultimate warriors. That and I could 100% believe that poo poo from 60% of my infantry buddies on Facebook. Coincidentally, the guys who did the worst are the loudest.

We left nothing useful in the way of logistics after we pulled out of Iraq and drew down in Afghanistan. We took everything immediately valuable and shredded the rest. The FOBs we left are ghost towns.

It's not like we left stockpiles of ammo, spare parts, POL, and motor pools full of vehicles.

I know because I've been to both places in the last 5 years. We'd have to build back up to get ready to invade Iran.

Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if they rush up some bombing runs while not planning a proper ground war.

They also drive S-300 missile systems, the Soviets built those things to shoot down F-14s and F-16s.

Any air war against Iran is gonna result in a LOT of dead pilots.
