Re: My conception is that the world would be a much simpler place if war was total. No one would start it unless it would be 200% it could win it

Now apply the same logic to the current Iran war.

I do not see Iran winning this. The current government is also hated by the people who would very much like to see all of them dead.

Al Jazeera has some very good insights into this, and the gist of it is: the Iranian regime is in a fight for its life with nothing to lose. If they are degraded enough, a revolution will start in Iran and they will be killed by the people. Or by US/IL bombs - whichever comes first. There is no way they get out of this alive. They are trying to prolong the inevitable.
