'Iran Risks Being Trump's Vietnam War’ | Military Expert Lt Col. Daniel Davis

from Harry Cole Saves The West · host News UK

If you want to understand what a US ground war against Iran would actually look like, watch this. Retired Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis joins Harry Cole for a stark, unfiltered assessment of the first three weeks of the US-Iran conflict. Despite nearly 9,000 strikes on Iran, the Iranian regime has not crumbled. Instead, it has maintained a stranglehold over the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most critical energy artery, sending oil prices surging and threatening global economic stability. Davis lays out the hard military reality: the USS Gerald R. Ford has suffered internal damage, American casualties are rising, and the idea of a short, decisive war is, in his words, a "fantasy." With thousands of US Marines and the 82nd Airborne now reportedly heading to the region, Davis warns that a ground incursion into Iran would become a Vietnam-style quagmire — with no exit strategy, no achievable objective, and a catastrophic human cost.
