| Trump's Unilateral Option |

| Nobody wants to "Declare World War III." But there are extreme options available to the United States to influence events in Iran that fall short of invasion, or of bombing Iranian assets. Am I wrong to think that our military can create deprivation for the Mullahs without touching a single inch of Iranian territory? Where are the shortfalls in this scenario? |

| #4 Naive IMO. The way to cut Iran down to size is the basic formula for a dry mountainous country- dams and bridges. Plus a few refineries. And arm the Kurds and Azeris. |

| #3 Well, sinking the Navy won't interrupt chow time but the end of their comms might bother some Kurds that rely on them. Just kidding. The shortfall would be the detraction of the SJW being slaughtered by Americans on twitter memes and jokes - before news hit that Iran lost their obamaphones, Navy, Mullahs, and $150 Billion dollars and a nuke site. |
