the war just ended

There is no way to win in Iran. There's too many people. 92 million people?

Let's say you take out 1 million people. Does that help you against the surviving 91? Or does it make it worse?

Understanding why Israel wanted this war, since they face existential threat, you'd have to Afghanistan your way into any kind of success.

We're talking about becoming a police force in a giant country, like you have to spend decades just sending men to possibly die to hold back the insane people who exist there.

Then if you leave, it all just resets. We're not dealing with rational people. We're dealing with messianic Islamic terrorism.

You can imagine 10's of millions of people who are rational and want to see it come to an end. But 10's of millions of people are totally brainwashed. You want to help the one side, but you can't get rid of the other side.

How do you fight insanity? You can't. We should be dropping low-dose pills from planes. We should use balloons, that would be better. This balloon drops down and it has a bunch of chill pills on it.
