Trump wants to control Iran, but, he probably never will!

As the vague Cold War "threat" of Communism motivated the development of the expanding military-industrial complex in the twentieth century, Donald Trump is attempting to motivate a new, expanding military industrial complex, perhaps purely for business reasons, on the basis of fear of "radical" Islam. So, Donald Trump is presenting as "intolerable" the idea of Iran presenting a nuclear weapon, in a world in which the far less democratic and far more unstable leadership of North Korea certainly does possess many nuclear weapons. It's pretty clear that Trump neither knows nor cares what really happens in Iran. He just feels like doing some damage. Of course, this is totally shutting down the entire region now. What is the end game here? There isn't one. Will there be "boots on the ground". I suspect probably there will be, perhaps up to 50,000, not enough to fully invade and occupy Iran, but, just possibly, enough to assist in destroying more thoroughly some underground missile and nuclear sites. Possibly, there may be some attempt to "overthrow" the regime using these 50,000 troops and local opposition. However, it seems unlikely that local support will be strong enough, for that. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/why-trump-attacking-iran-hes-180140133.html So, what happens next? More bombing, more counterattacks by Iran. Continued shutting down of the Straits of Hormuz, and all travel in the area. Effective shutdown of the economy of the entire region. Will Iran be "degraded" enough that Iranian counterattacks will cease? I doubt it very much. How will the 50,000 US troops far in their attempt to land and attack within Iran itself? Not well, I strongly suspect. And, I think that's the rub here, for Trump. If the American troops are stopped cold, or suffer massive casualties, as seems fairly likely, this mission will be over. I think that may be how this ends.
