Yep! I agree, the coalition should station troops in Syria as well as Iran.
Why don't you paint a target on your back and go to Iran Geniere.

My response was directed to the posters of the many inane “hypotheticals” found in these forums. Not the more considered postings of others such as yours; just a satirical response to another ill-conceived scenario.
Incidentally Njorl, have you ever considered running for political office? I’m sure you're doing well in your scientific field but would urge you to consider it. From the content of your many posts, I judge your political posture to be quite different from mine, but nevertheless, some one I could vote for as well as for the equally adroit Russ_Watters.
The outcome of US presidential elections is determined by a combination of various factors, including the candidates' campaign strategies, their political ideologies, the current state of the economy, and the political climate of the country. Other influential factors include the candidates' popularity and favorability among voters, their policies and promises, and the effectiveness of their campaign messaging.
Swing states, also known as battleground states, are crucial in determining the outcome of US presidential elections. These states are neither solidly Democratic nor Republican and can swing either way in an election. Candidates often focus their campaign efforts and resources on winning these states as they can play a decisive role in the final outcome.
The US electoral college system is a unique method of electing a president, where the winner of each state's popular vote is awarded a specific number of electoral votes based on their representation in Congress. This can sometimes lead to a candidate winning the majority of the popular vote but losing the election due to the electoral college system. This has happened in five US presidential elections, including the 2016 election.
Demographics such as age, race, gender, income, and education can play a crucial role in determining the outcome of US presidential elections. These factors can affect voter turnout and preferences, as well as shape the candidates' campaign strategies and messaging. For example, in recent years, the growing number of young and diverse voters has had a significant impact on election results.
Debates and media coverage can have a significant impact on the outcome of US presidential elections. Debates allow voters to see the candidates' stances on important issues and how they handle pressure and criticism. Media coverage, on the other hand, can shape public opinion and influence voter perceptions of the candidates. Both of these factors can sway undecided voters and potentially impact the final election results.
