There are no ground ops and there is no possibility of any significant ground ops given current deployments.

Yes ... why do we never learn from history? What's with the selective memory?

The previous campaign lasted a whole 13 days and WW3 didn't start. I'm not sure why anybody thinks it'll be different now or why Russia or China would bother going to war for Iran. That makes zero sense.
