Did we mention price?

20 days into it and 'they' are already asking 200 Billion dollars to the congress.

I say the ask is 'informal' and 'conservative'. The dude said in the next sentence, "subject to change".

We are looking at multiple Trillions, and that is a conservative estimate. I am not talking in thin air, just making myself aware of similar wars in the past.

The total cost of the U.S. war and occupation in Afghanistan (2001–2021) is estimated to be approximately $2.3 trillion. If you consider all the associate post 9/11 wars, it is 8 Trillion. Brown has done significant academic research on the topic.

Mind you, both Iraq and Afghanistan are smaller and less complex countries compared to Iran. I rest my case.

PS: couldn't stop but add this infographic!
