i am not in favour of a large scale attack on iran. i am in favour of limited strikes, in order to help groups on the ground get over critical mass. the purpose of these strikes would be to dismantle the irgc overnight in a single fatal, decisive blow. these time windows are short when they come up and require a quick response. i do not know with clarity if such a thing is in the realm of what america can do or is in truth in my imagination but i strongly suspect that the united states could, in fact, completely wipe out the irgc in about an hour. the americans appear to have missed their current time window.

the americans should avoid drawing too many resources out of ukraine and into a war in iran.
