It is going to plan. Shock and awe wiped off forty of the highest leaders including the supreme one. Boots on ground simply means no chance for a non-handpicked "democratic" leader to take over.

No one here knows what the "plan" is. We are not privy to that information. Best guess? The US and Israel (and hopefully the free world) has had enough of the regime in Iran. ENOUGH already! The "plan" may well be end the radical leadership problem in Iran. I certainly hope that is the plan. But I, like everyone else, is guessing at this point. It is not incumbent to the leadership to reveal detailed plans at this time.

So what's your point? The US should police the world? The nation with 25% of the world's prisoners and drags the bottom of the G20 in measures of health and prosperity should tell the world what to do?

All those in favor of ideological wars should grab a gun and go fight. And don't forget to give your wallet to MIC on your way out, because that's what this is really about.

There is no appetite for boots on the ground from MAGA. I've mentioned before, the geography of Iran is very different to previous US led wars in the middle east. The place is vast and mountainous, so dropping bombs probably won't do the job, and putting boots on the ground will probably be a disaster. The logistics are cripplingly expensive to maintain, and there is the constant threat of being cut-off. The terrain gives Iran a massive advantage to wage a low cost war of attrition, while costing the US in both $ and body count. Iran can fight a low cost war, their suicide drones are cheap to make and cist a lot to intercept. Same time, they can accept large casualties, as they are being attacked.

It blows my mind that there are enough hawks around to allow this to happen. My best guess is there will be some fabricated 'win', so the US can pull out.

I guess i can recommend everyone to live high up on a mountain - no one ever comes here, and no one would ever waste a missile to demolish an old beautiful wooden house or whatever is built there.

Proably those missiles cost a lot to build. And people are too lazy to drive up a mountain, where there are no stores, nothing of interest and mostly trees, rocks and snow.

And if a terrorist came up, they proably would be greeted with open arms since it's so desolate.
Also all radio signals have perfect transmittance.

{quote} Getting rid of the radical leadership in Iran may be an added benefit of this military action. If so, the world is a better place because of it. The number one benefit is to degrade Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon, and to degrade their ability to strike other countries in the middle east with their conventional weapons. Do you see Saudi, UAE, or other regional Arab countries objecting to this action. No, they are happy it is happening.
It's one hell of a cost in $ to fight this with boots on the ground. It will be an abysmal cost to life too. The justification just isn't there, morally or legally.

I have no idea as the the mood of the main gulf state actors but, "happy it is happening" seems a little trite. My best guess is that they are not "happy" in the slightest and instead are treading a very careful path to protect their regimes and citizens from the fall out. If they are too supportive of the US/Israeli attack, they become targets. They have to condemn Iran. My read us the gulf states are hedging, and Iran, by targeting the oil facilities, hotels, ports etc. is trying to force them to push for a cease fire as the costs escalate. This might backfire on Iran as the economic costs are global and not just local. I would not be surprised if we see closer ties between gulf states and China as a more reliable, less trigger happy partner in future.

Where does getting rid of the Iranian leadership get us?

Iran and the US had a nuclear deal, but the US reneged. Isreal have (it seems to be widely accepted) nukes. Look to Ukraine to see why every country with a reasonably advanced technical capability is, or is seriously considering developing nukes.

So why are boots on the ground even being considered?

Your explanation isn’t a consideration if it’s going to plan .

The free world of what exactly? name achievement this "free world" have done that is for the greater good the past 40-50 years?

Since WW2 nothing but death and destruction, before WW2, colonization and death - clearly you are a fool and propagandized into loving the epstein empire or you are one of them?

Institutionally Iran is on par with Russia and China.

You empire of death and destruction are such boot-lickers, thinking this war will somehow benefit you in any shape or form.

We will bury you in the history books and history will not be kind to you either.
