Just a breading ground for COD expansions lol
Haha, no thats CNN or Fox News lol.
Just remember, we f'ed up in Iran, theres a reason they hate us. There will be no "protecting the people" of Iran, since though they may hate their current rule, they hate us a lot more for leading them to it. It will be total war, not guerilla war.
It would be of the same scale as deciding to invade Japan in WW2. Sure we had them outgunned in most manners, but is a million soldiers really worth it?
Of course now we can't just nuke them, the world stage is much different now and we are not at the middle or an end of a war as such.
