Maybe that works when you are just in the bombing stage, and are just flying in and out, but that won't work when they inject troops into the mix, and the number of troops in the region is growing by the day. They aren't staging them there because they have no place to go, they intend to use them. Once the soldiers start shooting, it's a full-fledged War.

Russia has lost 1.2 million soldiers in 4 years in Ukraine. America lost 58,000 in Vietnam over more than 10 years. We lost less that 5000 in Afghanistan over 20 years. Trump is a psychopath, and he'll want to keep score with how many American soldiers sacrificed their lives for him, and no matter what anyone else's objective is, his personal objective will be to collect as many deaths in his name as possible. He'll want to run that score up to Russia numbers, just to prove how important he is, and how much his soldiers love him.

I can just hear him bragging about it, trying to impress the Sociopathic Oligarchs sitting around his table at Maralago: "Yep, over a million soldiers laid down their lives for me, that's how loyal they are to me."

A Trump war will be a meat-grinder, and he WILL announce a draft after the Midterms.
