    Iran is a natural Fortress. Basically they can dig in and hold out forever. Cuba’s a country with very beautiful beaches. There’s no way they can resist and even if they could they’ve been starved for months now and probably don’t have the capacity to anymore.

      They already lost in Afghanistan. The fuck they think they gonna do with Iran? A much better, much better trained, equipped, and loyal army, in as you say, a literal natural fortress. They’re going after the Persian empire? Bro, better men have tried.

      Hmm. Maybe if USA employed companion cavalry…

      Also distance from the USA and the added supply chain delays/costs, an army doesn’t exist long without supplies
