I like the part where it's like "we'll do this at night so it doesn't look like we're bringing in more troops, because you wouldn't be able to tell that, at night,,,"

DOCTOR ZIMBARDO posted:they would need 20-50x as many people in place to invade anything, to say nothing of aircraft carriers (only one super carrier is in theater of the two currently at sea - we needed 4 during OIF) and other support systems. Honestly, I don't think the US military is capable of even of an invasion of Iraq itself much less both Iraq/Iran at this point. The US Army of 2020 isn't designed to fight an enemy that is willing to fight back. Also, the Iranians have been building their arms industry and does have the ability to fight at least a defensive war (and would obviously back Iraq if it got invade). The US may be able to launch a bunch of airstrikes and declare victory but it is doubtful a ground war would be winnable.

The US could easily invade Iraq, as they have shown twice already only in the last 30 years lmao. Iraq's military couldn't even resist a bunch of methed up psychos driving technicals and T-55s. As for invading Iran, I think a lot of posters here highly overrate their army. They're at a massive conventional disadvantage and their economy has been strangled by sanctions. Occupying Iran is obviously completely different story but the actual invasion portion would probably go like the first phase of the Korean War.

winning the invasion could be done but winning against the insurgency and a fractal multifront conflict that has flashpoints all over the region and even inside US borders is completely different. then again i think talking about it in terms of winners and losers is wrongheaded. it has a sick inside baseball feel and modern wars aren't about winning or losing anymore anyway.
