Just a few thoughts on the Iran war so far...

 

Just a quick thought exercise on the Iran war so far...

*  With regard to the above tweet?  That's to be expected.  I would think both Russia and China are providing as much intel as possible.

*  Didn't post about it but supposedly the Chinese have already rushed war material by air to Iran.

*  Been getting reports that the 82nd called off an exercise and many are speculating that they're about to go boots on the ground.

*  I have yet to hear an end state or even goal of the war announced.  So far its kinetic operations for kinetic operations sake.  That ain't good.

*  Reports are that Israel is threatening Lebanon with further attacks if they don't Hezbollah to heel.  That govt is to weak to do so.  Additionally I've seen some Israeli "thought leaders"/defense experts claiming that Turkey is next.  THAT WOULD BE A HUGE MISTAKE!  Israel don't want that smoke.  Not sure they want the smoke from Hezbollah at this time.

Let me repeat.

Things appear to be going well and I'm happy about that.

I AM CONCERNED that no one has stated an end goal for this fight.  I don't hear anyone talking about an off ramp.

Additionally (and it could be censorship) but that expected popular uprising doesn't appear to be materializing.

Are we headed toward another nation building exercise?

Some of you remember the Haliburton idiocy in what now seems a different age.  I wonder if that is what the real end state could be.  Massive reconstruction contracts, tons of vets picking up security contracts (Triple Canopy must be licking their chops) and tons of regular people rushing to the new gold rush of making tax free money in a hazardous location with free flights to the sex tourist country of your choice.
