Kabir, Thanks good listen.
There are other US ex military (eg Lt Col Danel Davis) who thk Trump is delaying to build up ground forces for a knock out.
They think that is bound to fail with many US casualties. Keep in mind many US arm are MAGA. How will the US casualties affect Trumps political chances.
Professor Mearsheimer mentioned that a ground invasion of Iran would lead to a bloodbath.
The more American casualties, the worse it it will be for President Trump’s political chances.
Absolutely Pakistan as a land bridge to invasion; do they even understand the terrain of Baluchistan.
Also if Iran is crippled economically what doesnāt stop it from just bombing desalination and power plants in the GCC. Which country is going to allow it?
