It's four times larger than Iraq, with a much tougher terrain and they've been setting up militarily independent regions for the last 40 years specifically in case this would happen. The current operation at week 1 has already a worse public approval than the Vietnam war after 5 years of american dying in ground operations.

I'd love if they went in because it would precipitate the end the US empire by a good decade

Do you have a source for this? Numbers I find online vary wildly.

Edit: I found Al Jazeera was the one saying what you said, but I can't classify them as objective and accurate in this case, sorry.

If the war with Iran is indeed that unpopular we'll see at the midterms.
