This really is our generation's Viet Nam, isn't it?
I think we re-enter the middle east in some capacity every 5-10 years since like desert storm. Its not new. People are just sick of it. It could be weapons, it could be troops. We never really take our hand off the wheel over there.
It's military keynesianism and the US economy has been running off of it since world war 2.
that was real fighting with troops, even if with disproportionate means.
there is zero possibility of boots on the ground here. This is the standard US tactic of cowardly bombing from a distance they use since then to avoid another US casualties trauma.
