Because we ain’t gonna win it just like we aren’t winning any of these other wars. How many losing wars should the United States sink itself into before realizing that these wars are futile.

And if you’re gonna bother with any analysis that says we don’t need to put troops on the ground, then please don’t waste my time. I’m not gonna even entertain that kinda mindless foolishness.

Wars are won with ground troops, and smart weapons and airstrikes don’t win wars. So if you’re not gonna start on that premise, miss me with whatever it is you’ve got to say.

Iran's economy is almost entirely dependent upon oil, and we are restricting those sales a lot. Eventually, they'll need to attack us, or starve to death, and then we can lower the boom on them.

If sanctions were a solution then North Korea would have collapsed long ago. We came very close to an escalation with Iran, this is not a game.
