10Pretty sure even the Pentagon isnt dumb enough to telegraph this so far in advance.
That isn't going to be a whole lot easier to do than seizing Kharg Island, just less overtly suicidal, and they'd have to go for a major port area to be able to offload supplies.
I have no doubt the US could achieve a landing somewhere, even if contested and taking serious causalities. My question is how the US plans to hold any landing once achieved.
Amphibious landing that immediately results in urban combat
Unless you can encircle the city. They did that a lot in Iraq.
The Iraqi army was surrendering en-masse to advancing US forces. Nothing about the situation is comparable.
Iran is a near peer. They haven't faced actual combat yet. Lobbing a bunch of missiles isn't actual war. Maybe they are so focused on rockets that their actual Army is like Pakistans. I know literally nothing about their capabilities. I'm pretty sure we'd fuck up Pakistan or Indian troops. Iran hasnt had a war in 45 years. They have no troops with combat experience.

50I'm less convinced that they are some insurmountable force. Who knows.
If search worked, I'd pull up the first time I commented this is the plot to Dr. Strangelove (it was like day 1)
Was this what you were talking about? Search on Poast works well (for me anyway)
it bothers me how little information is out there tho; youd think the news would have sorta accurate org charts and actually check the top 3 levels of the trees life history. Irans explictly designed itself to not break from a single strike, youd think the democrats/china would want to fact check trump.
Yes. Yes and yes.
Think of it like a nigger's old Altima: We've been "investing" in it for a long time, but that money was spent on big speakers, a loud, muddy subwoofer (no amplifier), 24" rims, used tires, and limo tint.
Meanwhile, it still has the original oil, original water pump, a threadbare timing belt.... all the boring logistical elements ignored.
I think you are right but apparently someone thinks it's feasible.
Drones are definitely a huge factor. Im sure they have a plan to deal with them. No idea what that is.
True. But we have a professional military. There is some semblance of discipline in the ranks. I have no idea if Iran has a professional army. Maybe they have been investing everything into these rockets at the expense of the army. They didn't really have much of an air force or navy apparently.
You are probably right. No idea if the terrain is comparable.
I don’t honestly have any real way of knowing details; but Persians are an ancient Nation with a proud history of conquest. They’ve been around literal millennia. That they’re *still* around, in a strategically well-defensible land with area comparable to Western Europe, strongly suggests to me they know how to run an Army in defense of their homeland. My two cents
You could say the same thing about Greece. Pretty sure we'd have no trouble with them.
What I'm saying is I don't know.
Yeah, same for sure; they could all be fat and constipated for all I know 😂
I doubt that. But are they conscripts? Six months of compulsory service? Nobody is talking about invading North Korea because we know their army can fight and has good weapons.
You mean Iran, right ? I don’t know much about their tactical game - but I do know strategy is a big part of Persian culture and highly valued, and they regularly have people that get into chess grandmaster levels internationally.
Ngl the whole idea of the US Army going in there and trying to seize/hold territory just strikes me as astonishingly foolish.
I think ultimately they want normalization. I do think they have been treated unfairly.
Studying the great Fedi armchair generals.
chat gpt wrote my resume I actually know nothing about war planning
I have a foolproof plan.
It's very mountainous terrain. Ravines, passes are killboxes. These routes are probably mined already. Kharg Island is probably IED hell.
If you're correct, then why would they have to be physically present in the region? Do they not have joysticks in South Korea as well?
