Premature Iran Invasion

There was no run up. No prep. No sustained propaganda campaign to drum up bloodthirst. This was ad hoc and Ill thought and completely impulsive and being run by third rate amateurs. At least Dick Cheney knew how to properly wag a dog. There’s none of that. Just blunt, immediate force that they are now trying to jam down everyone’s throats. They won’t be able to control the narrative here or the fallout. They don’t have the competence, maybe no one would in such an insane situation, that’s why you don’t get in it in the first place.

This will not end well. So it goes.

Last thing we want is to invade a country with 92 million people and a formidable mountainous terrain.

SEND ICE. Every last one of them.

History will remember their sacrifice.
