@Whocareezz@Angry_Staffer The approach you describe resembles the JCPOA under the Obama administration, which relied on diplomacy rather than direct military deployment. That agreement avoided the immediate costs of sustained operations and resulted in no American combat deaths.
@scorsesepoint This is exactly how it was recounted to Nicholas Pileggi by Henry Hill in the book, โWiseguyโ. Scorsese was true to Henryโs narrative; good, bad, or neither.
