世人皆忧：商贾或挥师入伊乎？其副手万斯、参联主席皆不赞，鲁比奥虽黠，恐亦难从。商贾内心同样煎熬，若众意合一，早启战端矣。然商贾行事，最大之定数即其言行无定。伊朗人忧地面之祸，然欲为商贾铺就台阶，亦属难事。纵使战起，若伊军不似当年萨达姆麾下多为财赂所诱，则此役大矣。 The world is asking: will the businessman launch a ground invasion of Iran? His vice president Vance and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff oppose it, and the shrewd Rubio may not support it either. The businessman is tormented by indecision—if there was consensus, they would have already attacked. However, the only certainty about the businessman is the unpredictability of his words and actions. The Iranians fear a ground war, but it will be extremely difficult to offer him a face-saving way out. Even if a ground war breaks out, if the Iranian military does not collapse like Saddam's bribed forces did, this conflict could escalate into a catastrophic and prolonged confrontation.
