Israel wags the dog one last time.
Last? Alright Optimist Prime, roll out.
Strait is closed because we went to war with undefined goals that have now become... Open the strait.
Lives and treasure burned for literally nothing except Israel's bloodyhirst
I wonder how many lives per day will be spent to keep the island once it is taken. They act like once they open the strait the war will be over.
How exactly does the US defend its troops from Iranian missiles and drones? Are they bringing patriot systems with them, or are they planning to fly jets 24/7 to intercept them?
When Iran decides to go scorched earth and attack every last American boot on the island, what will America do then?
There's literally nothing the US can do, it's basically Romans with the tribal confederacy's of Germanania. Doesn't matter how good your tech or how big your empire is when the people fighting you have home field advantage, out number you locally, and your leaders are inept at best. The best way to win is to not fight, but Trump and everyone around him is too stupid and too bellicose to know this so here we go anyways. I fucking hate the feds with a burning passion, the selfish sociopathic side of me hopes for a civil war so I can kill at least one and get congratulations for it, the humanist side of me thinks that's stupid and hopes for a largely peaceful break up of the United States.
America has ALWAYS been thwarted by guerilla insurgencies, and that's exactly what we are going to be fighting here.
Ignore history, and you are doomed to repeat it, is supposed to be cautionary. For MAGA, it's a game plan.
Trouble not thwarted. The US Marshals and the Army were able to largely deal with the various bandits (my ancestor included), warbands, and insurgents in the American Southwest for example. The problem has largely been a post-WW1 issue due to a doctrine built off of fighting the Germans aka a near peer. Though I wouldn't call the Iranians an insurgency or even guerrilla, their tactics being more akin to Polish or Swiss assymetrical war planning, if you know you can't beat them fair you fight dirty, no shade it's a war of survival and all tactics are valid under such circumstances in my opinion.
Probably enough that Iran will retake the island at some point
Let me guess… Rand Paul, right?
I feel like you're right but the article doesn't actually say.
The Donald Trump Epstein pedo wars featuring Pete Hegseth and Pissrael with supporting help from all the GOP clowns and judges that made this possible. $1B a day and soon $10 a gallon gasoline brought to you AIPAC. Thanks for this you magat voting fucking morons and all the corporations that lined up to suck Trump's dick after the election. Now the entire world gets to suffer because pedophile clowns are in charge of the US.
@Redditsux What's wrong with the skin on his face? If that's any indication of what's happened to his brain, that explains a lot!
His transformation into rotten Spam continues.
And if you think his face is bad, good thing you can't see his brain, it's full of weevils.
