I don't think the US can even afford such an occupation financially. We're already spending more on interest than we are on even the defense budget. Even if our leaders completely ignore popular will and the cost of lives. The US budget and debt can only be stretched so far.
I'm not sure any of that matters to the billionaire class. They have their bunkers and surveillance state.
