Leaving aside Israel, who are attacking Iran for their own historical reasons, plus in no small part to Netanyahu being a warmongering cunt, this conflict is really just Trump on his own playing war, and he's not very good at it either. Is there no chance at all of the military just disobeying him, and when he sacks the chiefs, then the people who enforce those sackings in turn could just disobey that order.
Sackings in any workplace are enforced by a chain of mutual agreement, which are easy in a private company when an owner can physically stop the firm's bank from paying that person. But for example, in a government job at a local council, a megalomaniac, much despised department manager could sack an employee to the disagreement of even his peers, but with a bit of solidarity, especially from Payroll staff, it's possible for that sacking to not be enforced. That could be done here. Like with those executive orders he signed, they mean nothing without staff who comply. He's just a person who can be disobeyed effectively with solidarity.
Why are Americans collectively such pussycats who are scared of confronting him? EG He speaks to some reporters like shit and they never answer back. It's not like they haven't had 6 years of his presidency to prepare a devastating retort. They're like school kids scared of some disciplinarian 1950s schoolmaster.
