Here's what we face with Iran. Iran is 4 times larger than Iraq: it's about the size of California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and 1/2 of Colorado combined. The terrain is very similar to these western states with big, tall mountains and high desert plains. There are no wide open deserts like in Iraq, it's an insurgent army's dream.
Iran has more than double the population of Iraq, and they fiercely support their country, which was proved in the Iran/Iraq War. Only now they have much better weapons, and they've had a lot longer to build defenses. Also there are no subpopulations as there are in Iraq. In Iraq, the US was only fighting a small portion of the Iraqi people, since the one third of the population who are Kurds acted like our allies and the Kurds assisted our war effort. There's nothing like that in Iran, the US forces will be fighting all of the 90 million Iranian people. Plus you have to add all of the tens of thousands of their supporters in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and the rest of the Islamic world who will see an unprovoked US attack on Iran as an attack on Muslims and Islam. They will come and fight for Iran. Guaranteed.
What does that mean? War with Iran is the Iraq War on steroids. It makes Vietnam look like paddy cakes. If the US attacks Iran, Trump better be ready to restart the draft to have enough troops. America didn't have close to enough military personnel to fight the Iraq war, and we have fewer troops now than in 2002. A war with Iran will be nothing like America has seen since WWII. You better be ready for victory gardens, tin can drives, ration books, and lots of body bags. This war will last a very long time and the cost will make the 4,400 dead, the 30,000 wounded, and trillions of dollars spent on the Iraq War look like a Sunday walk in the park.
I have been a Stuart Stevens super fan for a while…and now…Bobby Jones is a new favorite!!! How about a little presidential run???? Lincoln square is a stable of amazing political talent. If you guys can keep us from martial law…Bobby you have my vote!!
I could listen to Bobby for days a never get bored or tired of what he is saying. WHY DON’T WE EVER HAVE COMPETENT PEOPLE LIKE HIM IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND ADMINISTRATION????
People who know what the fuck they are talking about!!!!!
Fair question, but I suspect the answer has something to do with money and the constraints imposed by a 2-party system. Bobby is one of quite a few veterans who I believe would make very solid members of Congress, or even president. However, to be fair, compared to what we have on the Republican side of the aisle in Congress and in the White House right now...well, you know. You're right, though, Bobby is a very solid citizen!
There are so many unprecedented things about the Felon-in-Chief, but none of them are positive.. For those of us who served, the sight of this draft dodger saluting is nauseating. The idea that, while he was too much of a coward to serve (not to be confused with having a principled objection), he appears more than happy to send "his suckers and losers" into war. It would not surprise me in the least for him to start a war for exclusively political, or self-gratification purposes.
MAGA fought W’s war through the National Guard. They won't support this effort. Flash polls showing opposition. I believe traveling with Liz Cheney cost Kamala more votes than we suspected.
Vance is AWOL. It's more critical for him to troll transgender people on Bluesky. However, if Tillis goes along with it, no adults are left. In the meantime, military families are seeing loved ones getting orders to travel. Refueling planes and ships are already on the way.
Orange Cheeto Setting the Stage for the Blame Game with Economic Collapse
Cheeto has been complaining about the Fed Chair Powell for years but it seems like it’s coming to a crescendo of sorts The Orange One claims he knows best and that the Fed Chair doesn’t know what he’s doing Since when did Cheeto become an expert in economic policy?? He’s become an expert on military policy, immigration policy, foreign policy, so why not proclaim oneself the expert in economic policy as well It completely fits with his machismo image provoking propaganda that “he alone can fix it”
But there’s something more sinister underlying Cheeto’s demand to take over the Fed It seems like Cheeto like in many other geopolitical situations that he knows the American economic collapse is becoming imminent during his term and so Cheeto is laying the groundwork for taking a mandate that he must takeover the Fed because the economy is going down the proverbial “rabbit hole” And of course he’s the one to fix it
As JD Vance has said “(America )private businesses have to feel the pain” in this Nazi takeover of the country and it seems his regime wants to accelerate this goal to the demise of the country’s economy so Cheeto, the Supreme Leader, can ride to the rescue

This was extremely educational. Thank you. Unfortunately now I’m more nervous, but I have facts and context.
Rubio, acting director of the NSC, had not hired any experts since he fired the exiting experts!
I wish Bobby jones were our president. He makes me feel safe.
Many of us did learn from Iraq and Afghanistan. Unfortunately, Trump is not teachable, and this puts us all in grave danger.
Because 77+ million people drank the kool-ade and the Electoral College put him over the line

Unfortunately, I think Bobby is far too intelligent, than to want to be president!!!

Ivy League frat boys rarely do homework. Add in Princeton’s chip about not getting into Harvard, or even Yale, and it’s dangerous
