i don't support starting a war in iran. i do support limited strikes, in order to help groups on the ground get over critical mass. the purpose of these strikes should be to dismantle the irgc overnight in a single fatal, decisive blow. these time windows, when they come up, are short and require a fast 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.
