And war goes on.
According to sources in Iran the US has lost two supply ships one of them out in the Indian Oceans. On a related note. The USS Gerald R Ford has gone dark. Hmmmm

It's going to become a war that will carry on for decades

@Thinkerbell Think Salman Rushdie and the fatwa concerning him. It took near to 33 years for his stabbing to occur. Think the Roman-Persian Wars that were a series of conflicts between the Greco-Roman world and Iranian empires (Parthian and Sasanian) that lasted over 680 years, from roughly 54 BC to 628 AD

I have thought about it. I doubt that the US will send ground troops into Iran.
And not every Vietnam was a failure.
Korea was a success, at least partially... one only has to compare North and South Korea to understand that.

@Thinkerbell As I used Vietnam as a label for an outcome for the operation now, I did try rather to point to the way how the war in Vietnam went. The nationalists (I won't use communists because there's evidence that they weren't really in step with the Russians nor Chinese and would have made a deal with the Western Allies after World War Two) in Vietnam just took the punches and stayed at the rope till first the French and then the Americans were punch drunk. I'm afraid that it's happening again. If Trump wants the Revoluntionary Guard just come to the table again, or even that there's going to be an opposition in Iran to take over power ready and waiting, then he's on his own yet again. Just like he wants to replace income tax by tariffs. In the long run both can only break his administration
