Given the "ceasefire" is set to expire tonight, is the empire actually going to try a ground invasion of Iran? I feel like all I'm expecting is tens of thousands of coffins waiting for them.

They have spent quite a bit building up to it so it really is a matter of when they are ready to go. I can only hope that if it does happen in full, that Iran would completely humiliate them for their hubris but even so the empire will always destroy on their way in and out.

It seems a silly idea that they would go in on the ground but with the stupidity of the usa these days who fucking knows.

I hope so. It'd be pretty funny if the U.S. established an airstrip in Iran, only for a Fat Man to drop on them. Even a dirty bomb would work. Thousands of personnel being evacuated due to radioactive contamination lol. Americans would go crazy: "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO OUR MEN". It'd be like 9/11 all over again. Poor America! Being unjustly attacked by the Islamists, AGAIN, just because they hate our way of life!!!!!!!!!!1

Stupid thoughts aside, there was a report by Russian intelligence that a ground invasion is possible, as reported by researchers at The Duran: https://rumble.com/v78purg-russias-intelligence-warning-u.s.-ground-operation-in-iran-may-be-next.html

It's kinda obvious that Trump could invade Iran and set up an air field, he can't delay it forever. Either he admits defeat now or he gets thoroughly defeated in ground warfare to the point it's so bad that no-one can call it anything besides a humiliation.
