Der Iran sagt, er „warte“ auf einen möglichen US-Bodenangriff, während 3.500 Soldaten im Nahen Osten eintreffen

I just hope this doesnt turn into America’s meat grinder.

Iran is like a fortress.
3,000-meter mountains and cliffs in the west toward the Strait of Hormuz.
5,600-meter mountain ranges in the north. Deserts in the east.

No real infrastructure, extreme heat, and almost no water. Without supply lines, it quickly turns into a losing position for the U.S.

Iran can, at its own pace, exert control over the Strait of Hormuz until the U.S. is forced to confront its limitations.

Doing this before midterms when popularity is already at a record low is certainly a choice. What are the chances that the election is manipulated or “delayed” with this as an excuse?

Wow Trump must not care about the midterms. Iran was never even a serious threat. All this just to make Israel happy is something else

Iran has clearly been learning how warfare has evolved with the prominence of drones. The US has refused to even bother talking to Ukraine about how warfare has evolved with drones and how to adapt. The US is still operating with a playbook from 30 years ago. Combine that with the utter incompetence and lack of planning from the US top ranks. Oh yeah, and a fanatical enemy who’s spent generations being told the country they should hate will try to destroy them, finally does try to destroy them… this is going to be a bloodbath.

Trump is off his game, if he thinks having a ground invasion is going to be accepted by the public. We don’t want this war. We never asked for it. And we certainly don’t want to start sending troops to Iran. Every time we send troops to the Middle East for a conflict, he mission always creeps into a full on invasion or protective force; resulting in us having to depart 10 years later when we finally admit that the war was a failure.

bumbletrump thought he could just drop some bombs and the population would rise up and take over. done deal. This is the guy who thought he could end the Russia/Ukraine conflict in 24 hours. He keeps bringing his bag of marbles to chess matches and it works out about as well for him every time.

MAGA said no more wars, then they said it’s necessary but without boots on the ground, now they’re saying war is good for our interests and boots are needed.

Do these people have any shame or any capacity to reflect at all? Like I’m genuinely flabbergasted.

Trump is a genius! He definitely got inspiration from the movie 300.

That amount is more than enough to kill a million Persians.

For the love of sanity, can we please do another round of TACO?

If 1 single soldier died in the Middle East during a training exercise Trump would vomit shit about it nonstop and Dems would take it.

I believe we’re up to 10-20 deaths in the last month for this Epstein distraction and Dems are doing nothing. I hate MAGAts but I almost hate the Dems just as much for just letting it happen. Garland should be in prison for life for his incompetency. Trump should have been in prison for life just months after the insurrection. The stolen documents case was also served to them on a silver platter and they still did nothing

You gotta wonder what would happen to US and Israeli forces should the region decide enough-is-enough and unite against them. Like sitting ducks. Miles from home. At the heart of the no.1 global resource: Hydrocarbon mining.

Bit like the Fremen destroying the Empire at the end of Dune Part two and making the ~~universe~~ world bow to their will with the end of all ~~interstellar~~ air/vehicle travel by choking-off all ~~spice~~ oil supply.

A lot of people have brought up but they are arguably the best ground fighters in the entire region, they have been training militias for decades in the region. These are not insurgents or guerrilla fighters, these are a very capable ground force and very well equipped. This is bad

Iran has like half a million size army. US won’t be able to do anything with that many troops. They will need hundreds of thousands of troops or they are going to have a bad time.

4K marines and 1.5k airborne and another 10k rumored to be mobilizing…
