Hey Donald, just state Mission Accomplished and go grift some more $$ from your cult members OR

[Ferrets are Cool]

are you bound and determined to completely DESTROY America?
If the latter, continue on with this illegal and immoral war.

1. That is exactly what he will do...

If things go further south in the next few weeks. He will declare victory and leave someone else to clean up his disastrous mess. Congress keeps lying and making excuses for him. They should wake up and claim their authority before it gets much worse.

Yes, it can get worse.

2. Agree 100%

Experts are predicting $150 a barrel for oil. That will mean $5 or more a gallon for US consumers. Not only that, but the cost of ALL others goods will appreciate quickly.
All this in a country in which citizens are struggling to put food on the table and are cashing out 401Ks to pay monthly mortgages.
Sometimes I think he wants two classes in America: the 1% and serfs.

3. Might as well. Nothing more will be accomplished without invasion...

And that would be an absolute nightmare in one of the most geographically defensible nations on earth. Iran is bigger than most of Western Europe combined. Don't let Mercator maps fool you. Donnie wants a quick win anyway. Israel, as usual, wants the blood of Americans to serve its greater political purposes. With Donnie's basic inclinations and the Pentagon telling him invasion is fucking nuts, quick win will probably win. Mission accomplished. Not. The regime is still in place with even more incentive to go nuclear at some point.

Invasion is really off the table. It's nuts on its face. Iran is ringed by swamps, mountains and deserts. Nearly all of the populated areas are in the north of the Iranian plateau. A hell of a long way from the Persian Gulf coast or the western approaches through Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Iraq.

Eastern approaches are off limits. Afghan / Pakistan hot war currently under way, and a logistical nightmare of biblical proportions even if it wasn't. And again, a hell of a long way from the populace north.

The only really viable route is Saddam's in the Iran Iraq War but even that is difficult logistically and geographically, requiring total control the Persian Gulf, and is, once again, a hell of a long way from Tehran. Regardless, Iraq wants no part of this. Yep, there is a pattern here. Iran possesses strategic depth and formidable geography in spades.

And the populace isn't going to rise up. The regime is heavily embedded in Iranian daily life. More so than the Baath Party was in Iraq. The opposition is small and fragmented, disliking each other as much as the regime. And indiscriminate bombing does tend to make the locals put aside their differences for a while.
