diagnosis
A ground invasion of Iran is presented as militarily stupid because Iranian mountains, deserts, distance from Tehran, and potential mines around Hormuz favor guerrilla and defensive warfare.
prediction
Jiang says troop deployments, reserve mobilization language, Pentagon pizza demand, empty gay bars, and prediction-market bets are indicators that a U.S. ground invasion has been approved and is coming very soon.

Jiang predicts the United States will eventually have no choice but to launch a ground invasion, with Clark Island and the Iranian coastline producing mission creep.
