I know the Iranian conflict is almost 2 weeks in now, but why are some people dooming at this stage? USA casualties haven't even entered two digits yet as far as I read (eight). Still terrible to have death but compared to the 2k+ Iran is dealing with? Yeah.
The other thing people in the thread have talked about is the anger of the Iranian people and the possible arming of an uprising with a regime change. While I don't know how much crap the USA and Israel are moving to them or if it will end up a failure, there's still time. The only thing the USA seems to be suffering from is oil prices, cultural memory of other middle eastern wars, and reputation in the countries that want to stay passive to things (like Canada). Am I missing something? Why we dooming? We just got here, it's day 12.
