2. And these idiots are unaware how resistant Iran will be

Both its geography and culture have resisted invasions for millennia. Even Alexander more went through than really conquering that area. I feel this is a ploy to disrupt cheap middle east oil to try and make the Venezuelan oil more marketable plus help prop up Bibi.

3. Iran has 4 times the land mass and double the population of Iraq

And after Trump’s tariffs, insults, and treatment of NATO, NATO won’t join us on Iran like they did on Iraq and Afghanistan.

Iran, despite the current political unrest, their society is more unified than Iraq’s. They will fight back.

Invading Iran will be an expensive boondoggle.
