The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran, U.S. officials said, as thousands of American soldiers and Marines arrive in the Middle East for what could become a dangerous new phase of the war should President Donald Trump choose to escalate. Any potential ground operation would fall short of a full-scale invasion and could instead involve raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, said the officials. All spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss highly sensitive military plans that have been in development for weeks.
This moron has no strategy other than hitting harder until he gets what he wants. Problem is that this isn’t one of his kids or wives he can beat up and lawyer his way out of trouble, these are nations that have the world by the balls and he’s too stupid and narcissistic to understand that.
Israelis are the only ones that should die for Israel.
But trump family and ice i will accept as exceptions.
Every politician that takes money from them is a fucking traitor
“weeks” 🤫
500 weeks later… C-130’s take off in a hurry, leaving behind a bunch of Humvees and M1 Abrams
Damn reruns again.
They really are out of ideas. Just stupid remakes, nothing original.
I mean, you can count years in “weeks”. Technically correct.
Donald Rumsfeld’s ghost has entered the chat.
Time to enlist, all you big tough MAGAs! It’s the least you can do for your Ruler.
Is this that war that he claims to have “won” and is “winding down”?
Our grandchildren will fight this war.
The problem with the military in the 21st Century is that it has plans for absolutely everything. Nobody else has plans for anything, especially not the politicians, especially especially not this politician.
Since the only ones with plans are the military, everything looks like a military. The only plan the military has at this point is ground invasion, so ground invasion it is. When that doesn’t produce the results desired by the politician, more military plans are tapped, because the only plans available are military.
We have seen the same thing happen in 2022. The plan was to invade Ukraine, decapitate the regime in three days, three weeks tops, and then profit. That didn’t work out, so the next military plan was executed. Then that didn’t work and the next military plan was executed. And four years later, there are still military plans to be executed, and well over a million people incapacitated.
The Iran “thing” started with the attempt to decapitate the Iranian regime. The plan failed (for different reasons) but the similarity in the failure of Plan A is startling. I hope someone tells this politician that chasing military plans is a terrible idea in this case, too.
The problem with military plans is that they are always planning on fighting mostly based on the last war. Case in point, drones are overwhelming conventional weapons - they didn’t plan for that.
Nobody else has plans for anything, especially not the politicians, especially especially not this politician.
Well, the state department does. But Trump gutted it…
To be fair, all the State Department would have had for plans would have been, “Don’t. Fucking. Do. It!”
At this point I’m convinced Trump thinks he can win by dragging the gulf states into the war. What a mess.
Guess I’ll fill that second 55gal barrel I have with gasoline.
That’s like three tanks of gas…
Might want to buy an EV
Yeah right, with what fucking free cash? Everyone screams “buy EV” but I can only afford to get $2500 used vehicles and put sweat equity into them. There are no used EV’s in affordable price brackets that aren’t full of tracking electronics. Plus I can’t move landscaping equipment, trash, or like 90% of the tools I need with one like I can with my 32 year old Chevy truck.
With careful managing two barrels of gas will get me 5 months. I’ll figure it out after that.
It’s just as stupid as people who say ‘just move to another country’
Fuckers don’t comprehend poverty.
With something that old, a woodgas conversion might not be too hard. You would lose some bed space for the system, but you can run a truck like that on old pallets, junk mail, and the overabundant packaging plastered all over every kind of consumer goods.
