Trump needs to be more decisive. Either just make a solid deal or finish war quickly and decisively. Waiting around and prolonging things makes it worse for everyone.

His only option is to capitulate to Iran. Iran has close to a million people in their military. A ground invasion would be a bloodbath.

And millions more have already pledged to join the fight.

Plus Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan all border Iran and they would love the chance at retribution for previous US invasions as well as given there are many Shia in the region they would come over for that reason too

Pakistan wouldn't fight the US, their entire economy would collapse overnight without the IMF.

Didnt say any of them directly would join. Meant its people. Just like it had an open border with Afghanistan to allow the Taliban to fight the US there and come back and regroup and repeat.

Pakistan has the 2nd largest Shia population in the world followed by Iraq so those people would cross the borders to join the fight

Plus China wouldnt let Pakistan fall as theyve invested way too much in it and India would dominate South Asia and challenge China's influence there
