This is pretty much a guarantee of the U.S. being in "a multiyear conflict with no end in sight"

1. No question.

Everything Trump touches dies.

2. Krasnov doesn't decide when it ends.

3. Iran's ally Russia is not coming to aid Iran in this war

Neither is Turkey or China. Iran will have a hard time to continue to fight with weapons running out as Irani ports are blocked and the attacking duo have complete control of sky's . Already number of ballistic missiles fired are lower by 50%.

5. Who said they won't get help? Reference?

[at140]

6. I am following news on all major channels

All of Iran's 11 ships have been sunk. Iran's ballistic missiles are already being launched at less than half rate today compared to yesterday. Where is Russia's help?

[Klarkashton]

7. You figure they were prepared for this?

Give it time. Give it time.

This is a long game.

13. The current Iranian government will likely fully collapse in the next few weeks. But...

...that's the easy part.

The hard part is replacing it with something stable.

I think the likely plan is to use the Kurds as the boots on the ground, and install Pahlavi to head an interim government.

The question becomes, what will the Kurds be given in exchange? And will the rest of the country be OK with it? Not to mention holdouts who prefer Sharia law and a Shia Islamic government.

15. How big are the Kurds in Iran?

If they are a minority population, why do you figure they will play king makers?

17. Read Iran gets lots of info about where to bomb from China & Russia

Iran has hundreds of thousands of missiles under the mountains and its reported it makes hundreds of middles every day. Israel & US are running out of intercepts - have less than 2 weeks left. Iran took out a billion dollar radar that’s needed by missile defence and a billion dollar THAAD.

4. There is no end in sight.

These idiots can’t even define why we're there or what the goals are. You know they have no clue what an exit strategy might look like.

14. It's an old American tradition. Woodrow WIlson's campaign slogan was "He kept us out of war."

Then he got us into WWI.

[Totally Tunsie]

9. Soooooo...what's the exit plan?

[Bayard]

10. The exit plan is getting a Dem back in the Oval Office,

Who knows how to negotiate peaceful solutions.

[Miles Archer]

12. Part of the problem is that Trump...and the Republicans...have no stake in this, nothing to lose personally

Although I have seen more than a few "Draft Barron Trump" posts on social media.

But most of the Republicans cheering Trump on don't have sons and daughters in uniform that Trump will feed into the wood chipper.

It's "someone else's problem," "someone else's children" who will go fight Trump's "Let's Not Talk About Epstein" war.

11. Hillbilly says what ?

Go back to your couch, Vance--- it is 'just asking for it'---

[Johonny]

16. Does Iran know that

Because unlike Venezuela, pretty sure they will keep attacking even if we stop. They have a lot of reason to fight.
