Something woke, DEI, blah blah blah.
The question I have is simple
whats the actual plan Hogshit?? What is victory in this case? You kinda need to define that. So was the objective regime change? If Khananei is dead why is this still a war then? Are you expecting a formal surrender?
From what I recall it didnt take long to depose Iraqs government either. Given the DOD has a budget of nearly a trillion dollars, Id expect it to be a walk in the park to take out weak paper tiger militaries.

He thinks he is a movie drill sergeant. If he yells and acts crazy people will respect him. Yeah, that works.
