I didn’t say I think it is posturing. I said if that’s what it is it’s a very expensive way of doing it.
My thoughts are that, unless this is just Donald’s way of holding the Iranians feet to the fire, war seems inevitable.
That’s another key election pledge broken. Unless team USA really can wrap it up in 5 days and Trump can claim it’s not a forever war.
I suspect any war will not be quick and it will not be without regional collateral damage.
That’s fine for someone who lives thousands of miles away but not for the many millions that live in the region.
It’s a hell of an armada and air component that has been assembled but with no obvious ground forces.
Pummelling Iran should be no problem with the assembled might. Effecting regime change and doing it without killing thousands of Iranian civilians might be trickier.
