John Mearsheimer Asks: Will Trump Go Kamikaze? Authored by John Mearsheimer There is much talk about President Trump preparing to launch a ground attack against Iran. In the media discourse, much is made of the fact we have about 50,000 troops in the region. See for example these three articles . One might think those are all combat troops and we therefore have roughly three combat divisions available to invade Iran. But that is not true. Until recently, there were about 40,000 US troops in the region, which were mainly a mixture of Air Force, Army, and Navy forces. Very importantly, there were few Army or Marine combat troops, although there were certainly some special forces. But they are of little use for major combat operations, for which you need organized combat units like battalions, brigades, regiments, and divisions . In essence, until recently, there was hardly any organized ground power in the Middle East, which is what you need to invade and hold Iranian territory . As Napoleon was known to say: "God is on the side of the big battalions." Marine Corps image, illustrative/Camp Schwab, Okinawa President Troop has recently sent about 2,000 combat troops from the 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East as well as the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) comprised of about 2,500 combat troops. There is another MEU – the 11th – on its way to the Middle East from California, which I assume will add another 2,500 combat troops. That MEU is not expected to arrive until mid-April. That means there will be a total of roughly 7,000 combat troops organized in combat units after mid-April, but 4,500 before then . That is a tiny force with little chance of conquering and holding Iranian territory, especially when you consider that: 1) all these units are light infantry, 2) they have not prepared to fight this particular war and are doing it on the fly, 3) supporting them logistically when they are in combat will be very difficult, 4) Iran has mobilized an army of abo...

jetcityimage Eli Lilly ( LLY ) CEO Dave Ricks said his company is not in favor of having certain aspects of the pricing deals drugmakers struck with the Trump administration codified into law by Congress. “When you throw it into the congressional process, what goes in is not what’s going to come out,” Ricks told CNBC in an interview on Wednesday. “I think we see a lot of people who would rather reduce prices today and not worry about whether we have any new medicines tomorrow, not worry about whether America will have a robust drug industry and we’ll be able to do research in this country. And I worry about those things, so I don’t think that’s a great idea, and we’ve been pretty clear with the administration and the congressional leaders about that," Ricks said. Ricks added that while he thinks government officials have been listening to Lilly's concerns, the company will use “all the tools we have to combat bad policy, and we think it would be bad policy.” Lilly is one of several major pharmaceutical companies that have reached agreements with the Trump administration to lower prices on certain medications. Other drugmakers include Novartis ( NVS ), Bristol Myers ( BMY ), Amgen ( AMGN ), Merck ( MRK ), Boehringer Ingelheim, Gilead ( GILD ), GSK ( GSK ), Sanofi ( SNY ), and Roche ( RHHBY ).
