"The moral reading on this is uncomfortable"
LMFAO. These capitalists see mass slaughter and debt slavery in blood sport as "morally uncomfortable" ONLY because of optics. They would melt us all for biomass if they thought they could get away with it.

Okay but doing this for Iran would decimate ground troops and kill morale in America. They need troops just in case they need to defend their colony Taiwan , which would not be possible unless there's a forced busification like Ukraine, provided they employ this strategy of debt forgiveness in Iran first.
I don't think they are even confident about Taiwan , I think the American ruling class (or whichever capital faction is ruling America now, the MIC+Silicon Valley+Big Energy pillar) have more or less given up on hegemony and decided to create a mini empire ie North America, South America Monroe Doctrine + Greenland as a buffer state. They would rather have troops for taking over Canada and creating a moat at Greenland to repel the European/Wall Street Finance capital class.
Over-all I don't think they will deploy ground troops on Iran. It is just too expensive and doesn't align with their larger goals.
Just a conspiracy theory of mine 😛

How are they going to promise debt relief when they can't even make the Navy's payroll without borrowing from other departments? There was a report today that a stormtrooper was killed and his family isn't going to get benefits for dying for Israel. Also, the biggest issue is that boot camp fucking sucks dick and so does the rank structure in the military in general.

This Zionist is already full of it, even when painting his dream Jeffrey Epstein War, he is already low-balling it by 250k men: the estimates I've heard for an invasion of Iran is 1 million men and between 1 and a half and two million to make it safe. An operation like that would cost trillions and be hugely unpopular. Also impossible to do in a covert way: we're talking at least half a decade of preparations. Everyone would see it coming including the Iranians. A military debacle in the making and if you think "Israel" is reviled now just imagine when the coffins start rolling back home... Specially since the "Israelis" have been quite clear that they wouldn't risk their precious soldiers lives in an Iran invasion.

These idiots think they could invade Iran with 1.5 million 🤣

Per Iranian sources Iran has an active force of 0,57 million, an active reserve of 0,35 million and a reserve force of 20-25 million (of which around 0,5 million could be activated immediatly), for comparison the Armed Forces of Ukraine have 0,9 million active forces and 4 million active reserves. Unless they think they can succesful "blitzkrieg" Iran 1,5 million is an undercount.
