It wasn’t a war but a quick special operation, lasting a few days top, since they were destroying everything by air.
Then they started saying that maybe a few special forces would put boots on the ground but it was going to be fast.
Now, the oil is raising but it will be a matter of “weeks, not months” before it turns back normal.
I kinda like how the optimism is slowly fading. Let’s see how long before they start talking of “months, not years”.
This is exactly what putin said about Ukraine. This war will go on for years possibly.
… and the press secretary just refused to rule out conscription (the draft) just a day or so ago. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/trump-press-secretary-karoline-leavitt-refuses-to-rule-out-us-military-draft-for-iran-war/ar-AA1XMEbF
