2. I don't see a way to a good outcome now

I believe Israel thinks we can just bomb them into oblivion like they did to Gaza, but I don't think that is even possible unless Trump nukes them (which could happen). It's going to be a failed state that will be wrecking havoc for generations to come. There are so many factions in Iran that I just don't see anyone emerging to be a peaceful world leader there.

It's Iraq on steroids IMO, a quagmire. There is no plan but to bomb them mercilessly. It's going to be a 10 year war.
