until it gets physical.....  then no doubt it will be left up to the US and the UK...  again!


The BAS haven't the resources to mount another deployment. At the end of the day, the USA could go in alone and win the war, that's something that they're very good at, it's nation building that is something that they struggle with (Somalia, post-Saddam Iraq, etc) - probably because of the electorate's disliking of long-term US engagement.

Not to mention Iran is Afghanistan times a hundred.

Eastern Iran is full of mountains that would be nearly impossible to police or capture remenants.

Makes Afghanistan look like a cakewalk and we're losing Afghanistan.

A war with Iran would make Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan look easy combined.
