Man's never seen a ~~topographical~~ map of Iran and thinks that putting boots on the ground will work in those mountains.
We're going to se a whole lot more flag draped coffins stacked in amazon vans.
I've already seen the pictures posted by soldiers of the great meals they suddenly, recently received
The Steak and Lobster dinner was a surefire sign.
I'd have hated to be one of the people fixing the Gerald Ford carrier's toilets pupling tshirts out of that mess.
But they did so well in Vietnam's jungles … /s
Die for pedophiles boys
Call me an old geezer, but I liked peace better when it didn't mean starting wars out of the blue and sending your troops to die in meaningless skirmishes.
The US has been at war for over 200 years of its existence.
Dying for Epstein to own the libs.
Boots on ground will run into artillery and drones.
It’s like they learned nothing from watching Russia and Ukraine.
Iran also has a lot experience with drone warfare since they're supplying Russia with drones and have people operating and learning in an active war. Meanwhile the US hasn't really fought against drones in a real war and they refused help from Ukraine one of the countries at the forefront of drone warfare.
I wonder how long will Trump stay in office when the internet starts getting videos of American soldiers getting killed by drones just like the ones with Russian soldiers we have right now.
Trump has raped children, is a convicted felon, and demolished part of the White House. He's threatened reporters with execution, demanded personal enrichment as part of foreign trade, incited a terrorist attack on the Capitol building, and then pardoned the terrorists convicted of their crimes. He has openly solicited bribes and disclosed classified data to our enemies that resulted in the deaths of American agents abroad.
His supporters will not move an inch regardless of how many soldiers they see dying.
I've been around for over 4 decades and the only thing I've ever seen conservatives give a fuck about were gas prices, unborn babies (specifically), and people with not white skin becoming president.
Note: Specifically unborn babies because they don't give a flying fuck about kids after they're born. That's why they voted for a party that is currently obliterating child cancer research and are against free school lunches.
That's because Conservativism isn't really am ideology. It's psychological cover for being selfish. Conservatives define their core values based on whatever is good for the people within the Conservative group. They believe that they are the good people, the special people, and that they are entitled to whatever they want. Anyone that stands in their way is evil. Any facts that challenge their world view are lies. Any crimes they commit in service to their goals are justified.
Conservatives don't care about gas prices or unborn babies or racism unless those issues help them get elected. Conservatives get abortions when they want them. They will even blame other people getting abortions "for no reason" as the reason why they can't get their own "totally justified and moral" abortion.
They start wars, make trade agreements, and deregulate inustries that raise gas prices, because someone is getting rich from the high gas prices. When Conservatives are in charge and prices go up, they will tell you it is your patriotic duty to fuel up you SUV and drive around.
Even the racism is entirely user dependent. Black conservatives, Latino conservatives, Asian conservatives, Jewish conservatives, Islamic conservatives, Russian conservatives, they all hate someone and they all pretend to be the most persecuted people. It doesn't matter if they all hate the same people, as long as they hate somebody.
This is not politics. It's pathological narcissism.

Say it with me, folks:
YOU WILL DIE FOR OIL SO THAT THE EPSTEIN CLASS STAYS WEALTHY.
The Epstein class wants to fuck your daughter while you die in a war of aggression to make oil barons richer.

Why do they always send the poor?

So which is it, are we going to stop the war, or are we about to go all in with a ground force invasion? There are articles on lemmy that say completely opposing things.
The leadership of the country waging the war are saying completely opposing things, to be fair.
The war is over, it's not a war, no troops, but we're moving troops. We don't need allies, send allies, allies are cowards, all sorts of things.
Sounds like 1984. “We’re at war with Eurasia. We’ve always been at peace with Eurasia”

At most they're going to grab any islands and a foothold on the Straits. Occupying Mainland Iran is a Herculean task that would take millions of troops to do properly and they do not have the support for that and even then with the mountains it would be constant guerrilla warfare. Like Afghanistan. As soon as we left, the absolute minute we leave it would revert to them.

It will be more like Afghanistan. Iran is mostly mountainous and guerilla warfare will be the default. The US relies too much on technology which will not that useful in that environment. Don't forget that the Iran army has been training for years for this type of conflict. Afghanistan was a disaster for American troops but will be nothing compared to Iran.

Born too early to deploy to the Middle East. Born too late to deploy to the Middle East. Born just in time to deploy to the Middle East.
God bless America and it’s love for forever wars in the Middle East.

You know what would really slap? Iran setting up military bases in Mexico, Canada, Venezuela and Argentina
I mean drive through my neighbourhood (Newmarket, Ontario) it's pretty much little Iran as it is.
Much love to my Iranians my kids are friends with their kids. I love my Iranian peeps.
Nothing against them at all. The Iranian regime sucks. May we both hope in solidarity there is any relief for Americans or Iranians in this mountain of dogshit.

This is absolutely f*%#ing insane…
Kharg island is tiny. Really tiny. Any troops trying to hold it are going to get hit with drones, missiles and artillery constantly.
That sounds like an awful situation where a bunnch of young lives would be sacrificed in an ongoing series of attacks so that the evening news could be saturated with graphic tragic shit leading up to Trump being "forced" to do whatever they have planned next.
So I assume that's literally evil plan A, and reality will turn out worse.
thats why trump was asking for help, hes only going lead his "suckers and loser" whom he called, marines to slaughter
I see we're falling for one of the classic blunders.
Facing a country that not only outlived the start and fall of the roman empire, but has actively defended itself for the past four millennium thinking they can win?
