Your view of war is pure Trumpian lol. "If we just smash them hard enough we can do whatever we want!"

If only he and you read some books on the subject.

If you're going to go down the Clausewitz road, then the next stop is Lidell Hart and the Art of the Indirect Approach.

Both require defined political objectives, not silly paraphrases of Conan the Barbarian.

You missed the important part of Clausewitz.

"Victory is meaningless if it does not serve the overarching political objective."

Define the political objective of your theoretical war.

It's so terrible what they're doing to him. For 13 murders and 32 attempted murders you should definitely get to live out your life in a comfortable cell and play video games all day.

and the only group to rise up is in Eastern Iran, a group that operates out of Afghanistan and the Taliban tacitaly supports.

Did they?

He's a serial liar, but it's what we went with in the beginning.

"US President Donald Trump has shifted his rhetoric on regime change in Iran multiple times, initially calling it "the best thing that could happen" before later claiming that a form of regime change had already been achieved through U.S. and Israeli military strikes, and subsequently stating he "never cared about regime change"."

You actually have to define what the goal of the war is. Republicans tried to do that with regime change , and clearly that was not going to work.

Set some more limited goals , like heavy attrition of iranian surrogates, then yes , a democrat administration can pull that off.

You want me to define winning a war?

Yes. Define winning a war with Iran. What's the end state? Regime change? Negotiated settlement after attrition? It's not a difficult question unless you're just here to troll.

Define the victory conditions.

Example: Russian was going to conquer all of Ukraine. So much so the helicopter pilots had dress uniforms and condoms for the party they'd be having 5 days after the invasion.

"The other firms being suspended from the program include Adobe, Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, Tata, and Wipro."

The AI boosted SAR drones do find people a lot faster than the current manually flown drones.

Murdered. Murdered in public. Yes, some people were excited for it, like Luigi murdering the CEO.

Completely different context than a state ordered execution.

Pretty sure the IDF is around 85% jews, from the only country that identifies as a Jewish country. I'm okay with calling them jews.

Now reset the timer for the others to show up.

Russians do something evil, regularly, in a thread about Russians being evil.

Somebody will always rush in to say, oh yeah, what about the jews doing it?! Rcade should build in a stopwatch to see who's the fastest.

Russians go on Human Safaris for fun. Recently droned a civilian just out walking his dog.

Most corporations in America are owned by middle to middle-upper class people.

Sadly, partisan politics lumps Hidalgo's Used Tires (who imports from tires from China) with Mavis Tire Express (who also imports tires from China). The tariffs are much worse for Hidalgo.

The corporations of course.

99.9% of all businesses in the US are incorporated small businesses.
82% of those are solo ventures with no employees.

Yes we all got refunds. No we didn't give them back to the consumers. Then many of us were hit with new, increased tariffs over again.

Not the flex you're thinking it is, pal.

Only in your very active imagination is that a flex.
