Youtubers have figured there are three potential landing zones, so if big dummy Hegseth chooses any of them the defenders will be ready.

Kharg Island is a head fake, no way to reach it except paratroopers, and there's no hiding the incoming aircraft in an age of satellites and drones.
You land 2500 men in a nation of 92 million that has made it clear they're not welcome... the outcome is not in doubt.
Iran has already stated that any US invasion will be wiped out - no prisoners, no mercy.
Either Trump is doing another head fake in preparation for landing ground troops in earnest or he's about to betray Netanyahu the way he's betrayed every other person who ever trusted him.
The social web argument is very bad for fading systems. Basically cold approaches have a one in a thousand chance of converting someone. Whereas if some close friend is of the body odds rise to 50%. Cultural fragmentation has reached a point where right wing churches are just one of hundreds of fully developed subcultures available. Even related subcultures like 12 Step groups, which were originally very Christian, now fail to pass on specific theological ideas.

There's also the question of keeping pace with attrition.

I don't see a lot of new churches opening up.

Quite the opposite.
That might have to wait for the artificial wombs.

Which Colossal Bioscience (the dire wolf resurrection company) has in development.
Plus the extension of MeToo anti-courtship ideology, like every other Marxist notion the churches filed the serial numbers off and imported.

Most notably Freudian psychology, which is how faggots and dykes took over the Catholic priesthood and nunneries respectively.
If the angry threads about church girls I see around here are any indication what young men are checking out church will drift away when they realize the pickings are no better than at a random supermarket.
Too many cases of "I was a whore with a 3 digit bodycount and photos of my asshole on the internet but now I'm a SuperReformed proper trad christian woman so marry me and give me access to all your money in exchange for emotionless deadbedroom sex every other year if you're good and do all your chores."

Booster 19 performs more WDR testing (Wet Dress Rehearsal: loading live propellants), the day after the full static fire.

Instant divorce without alimony plus father gets custody of any children, no appeals. That's worse than prison.
You're operating within the existing frame, and in that case you'd be correct.

However none of this can happen in a democracy. This is post revolutionary praxis. In that sort of society all the shitlibs would be hiding in the outland regions. If one somehow slipped into the administration they would if anything be doubly fashy in order to avoid being found out and summarily flayed.
Milius' 1982 Conan was the exception, same for Superman The Movie in 1978. Or even Carpenter's The Thing. Once in a blue moon the right director would take charge of an adaptation and produce something faithful to the spirit of the original. But it never stuck because being faithful is expensive, and generally the man behind it was troublesome. Richard Donnor was fired and replaced for Superman II. John Carpenter's The Thing was too hardcore for audiences at the time. Conan was only a moderate hit and its pagan right wing message angered critics, being the second strike towards killing Milius' career, Red Dawn being the third.
The potential of artificial superintelligence solving everything. Cancer, Alzheimers, Diabeetus, all cured. Unified field theory. Cheap, reliable Mr. Fusion machine in every yard.
