#2 The only thing Biden will do is ignore it. He doesn't give a shit if US troops or citizens die.

#3 This could all be settled in about 24 hours. We have the ability. We totally lack the will, because we are more concerned about other people's feelings.

/\ This could all be settled in about 24 hours.

Yes, 24 hours, possibly less.

Same with the Mex border fiasco. Cost at the border? About $8.00 per round. Total tracer rounds necessary, 500 to 1000.

#5 Neither the Iranian nor the US military are what they were twenty or even five years ago. The acceptable level of casualties for the US in an election year is lower than “normal”.

On a separate note I object to using US soldiers as staked goats to establish a pretext for (yet another) poorly conceived and half heartedly executed MSM drama of the day event.

Soldiers, MAGA people, rally attendees, or anyone else for that matter.

#7 This won't be your Daddy's war.

Son 'decapitates his father,' 68, and brandishes his severed head during gruesome 14-minute long anti-Biden YouTube rant in which he declared himself President of America under martial law before cops charge him with murder hours later

"while urging relatives living with federal employees to murder them. He blamed the federal government for 'woke mobs' and migrants he claims are destroying the United States, and ranted against 'globalists and communists'."

The crazy battalion will awaken.

#8 If Creepy Uncle Joe is looking for target suggestions, I bet the Israelis could suggest some.

#9 Lots of individuals and small groups would use SHTF time as cover for action on their own personal interests / grievances. Some of it will make "fog of war" look like a sunny day.
