In reply to the discussion: Trump says US conducted 'major combat operations' in Iran [View all]LPBBEAR
(649 posts)61. Over and over
the lesson should have learned by now.
You can't conquer a country with Air power alone. This conflict will spread. Without troops to secure the country the Iranians will continue to fight. Since we're the aggressor they will attack every US asset they can reach.
This will turn into a hairball even Trump can't comb over.
He'll eventually use the klusterf**k to declare a national emergency.
Then he'll declare the elections null and void and claim he is due a third term since we're in a state of War.
An emergency he created.
And once again, as in Venezuela, its ALL about the oil.
