Raised from 35 to 42, which is a big jump. At 35, the physical downward spiral is just beginning. At 42, it is typically well underway, especially in the U.S., where obesity runs rampant. They must be anticipating a slog similar to that when Russia invaded Ukraine.

Not just in Iran, Lindsey Graham seems to think we're also gonna invade Cuba, probably parts of Latin America, and who knows, maybe Canada or Mexico to top it off. Multi-front wars aren't a bad idea right? We have the logistics to fight two separate long-term wars, so what's a third or a fifth?
