Shit show. You know they planned out scenarios for this war. But they did a bad job. I expected they'd do a small invasion around the nuke areas. They have to extract the uranium - so they send in troops and hold an area while special forces exctract the uranium. All they need to do is extract the uranium and they can declare victory. Will it work? Based on the competency of the current government, probably not.
