But you and Israel have done away with most of their leadership. What’s left is an even more hardened, collective IRGC.
The enemy can prove to be resilient even in the face of ground invasion and total war. Look at Vietnam and Iraq for evidence.
Unless you favor this approach and are prepared to spend 20 years on it in the case of Iraq. It’s totally pointless in my view

I think that the war as conducted has set up the possibility of the regime’s enemies to take down the IRCG. Whether enough has been done to facilitate this or not, only time will tell. In the meantime, Keeping the regime from reconstituting and gaining more power is the task at hand. The downside is the IRGC can make the poorer nations suffer mightily and Trump must do what he can to resolve those issues; fertilizer, energy and financial assistance, etc. These efforts will, of course, make the public angry. But it’s a whole lot better than invading a country as big as several US states and spending twenty years, thousands of American lives and billions of dollars more than the alternative. Does the American public have the patience? Probably not. The public act like children with little notice of the overall problem.

The difference is... the globalists are not in the WH right now. Trump is. The globalist leftists are the ones that made shock-sure that we didn’t “win” Vietnam... and they made Iraq into the quagmire it was. The ONLY reason why Obama ended the Iraq war is because that was what helped his Muslim Brotherhood buds. I know you’ll be disappointed re: that, but it is the reality.
