What’s your prediction on how long this lasts?
NYTI admitted carpet bombing was extreme right after but if we're gonna nitpick hyperbole in the Tug, we're gonna be here all day. That's a hell of a double standard. Hyperbole defines this place, if it wasn't clear already. The point is we're killing civilians.
And you guys really gotta face up to the school bombing. It's confirmed American and it's because of outdated targeting. We hit the target coordinates. The target was out of date. The more you deny it, the more you can't be taken seriously.

Outdated targeting data may have resulted in a mistaken missile strike, according to the ongoing military investigation, which undercuts President Trump’s assertion that Iran could be to blame.www.nytimes.com

I see no way it can end soon if we're trying to claim victory. The Straits of Hormuz are a dilly of a pickle and the Tug is underselling the problem. I'd give better than 50/50 odds that we have to put boots on the ground to open the straits. All bets are off after that.
Who the fuck is derrick Thompson? What part of the government is he in charge of?

Are we just gonna land special forces and hold a beachhead in perpetuity, surrounded by mountains on 3 sides, holding off a million man army? Yeah, let me know how that goes. I think we're boned unless it's a serious ground force. Geography is our biggest enemy. Iran holds all the cards here.

Creepy really wants to deal a blow to a state that enables a significant amount of the world's most lethal terrorists, liberate one of the oldest and proudest societies of world history and take Hormuz off the table.
I have lofty goals.

I can appreciate the dream. Russia's destruction is Big Ern's pet project. Call me old-fashioned.
He’s dead (allegedly).

Even if we did it, we sure as hell didn't do it on purposeI admitted carpet bombing was extreme right after but if we're gonna nitpick hyperbole in the Tug, we're gonna be here all day.

Some of you motherfuckers think we are going to win with no ground invasion.
You're out of your fucking mind!
And you're thinking 'we the mighty USA, we're just toooooooo good to fight Iran'
That's bullshit and I want it stopped. I want that shit stopped.
Did we win WWII? WWI?
Yeah, we did, but that was last fucking century! That's not this century. That was last fucking century.
