Re: I'm Pretty Sure Trump Is Wrong This Time

The requirement for military occupation is 20-25 soldiers per 1000 inhabitants. Otherwise, there will be a successful insurgency. Iran's population is 93 million. It will take 2.3 million army troops to occupy Iran for an indefinite period until the last vestiges of present regime's supporters are discredited in the eyes of the remaining population.

Your numbers here probably assume that the appetite for an insurgency is evenly distributed amongst the entire population and is the same for any country, which isn't true. Iran would have an insurgency, but it would not be supported by the majority of its population.
