Question.....Invade with boots on the ground

or continue bombing '...the shit out of Iran'?

If you were Trump, what would your strategy be?

Definitely not any sort of major occupation.

Kharg Island probably.

You still haven't answered your own last question to the board

Do whatever it takes to kill every last IRGC member.

Given how little support Trump has for this mission, both among the insular American public and the feckless Europeans, I don’t believe he will press for regime change. But that would be a right result. Remove these radicals whose fondest wish is an atomic bomb hitting New York.

For almost 50 years the world has tolerated a dysfunctional ME, wars, beheadings, torture of civilians, rigged elections….and pretended it wasn’t happening. The prospects for the Palestinians would improve instantly if their fate wasn’t linked to Iranian Islamic radicals and the whole region would enjoy a revival. Iran itself, a nation of talented people would emerge from the Middle Ages.

The world should be supporting the brave Iranian kids who went out there and protested, and died, up to 36500 of them

Agreed... incredibly brave people

America always bomb the shit out of places, long before any boot touches the ground.

If American do make it a prolonged war, Iran will put the global economy into recession for years.

They will destroy as many energy fields as possible. It will take a good few years to get everything back to how it was.

A duplicate, a CleverMike

SB, you need triplicates and quadruplicates to compete with ou Maaik.

Nah, Ou Maaik isn't racist.,..ou Snarky is just bitter...

Impossible the EU coutries have been in recession for four years nopw and there were no war in Iran - b but one much nearer to home in Ukraine, That one caused serious damage to the EU economies even though they did npt appl sanctions to Russia.

The Russians aa per nmromal outsmarted them and t e S hot Bioden A utopen idiocy in the USA. When they cheat in nobn-applicatiobn of sanctiosn Russia inmcreased heir prices by up to 400% and the EU countries had to pay pr starve. In the USA the corruption attached o the Ukraine warexceeded the corruptio n invovled in the Vietnam War. and that damaged the US ecionomy badly.

Time to get rifd op weak political leadership in Europe and improve Governance and not let criminals govern like like he case was under the Autopen Presidency.

Typo corrected...sorry Maaik, horrible typo.

I don’t believe he will press for regime change. But that would be a right result. Remove these radicals whose fondest wish is an atomic bomb hitting New York.

I agree with everything you’ve said, but I’d also add that another one of their wishes is to see Israel obliterated.

With regards to a regime change, I think Trump is caught in a zugzwang.

The ideal solution would be a change led by a leader similar to the one in Syria.

If there's no regime change, America will be forced into a rehearsal in time to come.

Boots on the ground are a necessity, not a desire, and it’s bound to be messy and bitter. America needs to take control of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s oil-producing infrastructure to really take the wind out of Iran’s sails.

This attack on Iran was poorly thought out, and if there was any plan at all, it must have been made by fools.

Indeed...not ideal, but necessary all the same...too late to turn around now... they'll have to figure out a way to fix this... it's needed fixing for decades.

they'll have to figure out a way to fix this

That’s the problem—they’re making up plans as they go, when everything should have been locked and loaded from the very start of the war.

Typical of Trump, whose legacy seems destined to be marked by chaos and mayhem.

...he uses chaos as a tool...and it gets results, but I think he might have underestimated the task at hand with Iran... we'll see.

I have to run...busy day ahead.

Actually I agree with most of your post denny, the war was entered into far too casually.. It was the right thing to do, but the right thing to do properly, Clearly the Strait of Hormuz did not figure sufficiently in the planning.

But if this thing is not done properly we will have to revisit it and Iran’s ability to resist speaks volumes about their military ambitions.

They have enough enriched uranium for 12 bombs and medium range delivery systems. Developing and matching those will take some time but it will be done if not stopped.

The problem then isn’t so much that they are going to blow up NY, but the threat that they could possibly do it changes the calculus completely. And them using it in the ME is more plausible.

This is a rogue regime of the kind the UN was designed to address, until it went off mission. Europe should be backing the US 100% in fixing this. Fifty years of terrorism is enough.
