Don’t buy it. Economic sanctions have never won a war. The dictators in power only care about their own interests, not the interests of their people. There’s enough oil being trucked out of Iran to keep the leaders happy. They can wait us out. The only way to end this without a humiliating retreat is regime change. I’m sure the Israelis have a solid plan to do this, just waiting for the go ahead from us. They’re more than willing to do the dirty work as long as the US gets out of their way and perhaps supplies some air support.
This is the equivalent of asking a girl out on a date and her saying she can’t go because she has to wash her hair. When will our great President (who I support) wise up and realize there is no deal with these crazy people. Trump ultimately figured this out with the crazy guy in North Korea and now he has to do it with these guys. Either accept that Iran can have a nuke or bomb them into regime change. There is no deal with the current Iranian leadership.
Do they ever use some of the extra time they have now to practice things like 5 on 3? Every time this situation comes up in a game, there does not seem to be any strategy, just a lot of freelancing. Granted it is a rare situation, but if you do get a 5 on 3, I’d sure make sense to have some definition as to how to attack it.
