Second worst decisions ever were drawing away from God, defying the US Constitution, and ignoring Jefferson's admonishment to avoid foreign entanglements.

Orange man needs to get this wrapped up, and those gas prices back down well before mid-terms, or it's going to get ugly.

For sure. This is accurate. We need to destroy their capability to retaliate against us or others first. If Trump does all this and then they still attack people it will be bad. Very bad.
You got that right. If boots go on the ground its game over for sure.
Have no idea who is Bonchie and who is Ethan Levins and what does it have to do with WION youtube video.
WION is Indian news channel, somewhat pro-Western.

Was just talking about this today. This is a largely unpopular move and its likely to hurt GOP chances in the mid terms and the next presidential election. Unless something OUTSTANDING comes of this, i see it hurting right of center politics for several election cycles.
Little-known Marine battle group deployed from California to Middle East — here’s what they’ll do
Three warships from San Diego and more than 2,000 Marines headed to the Middle East may have a crucial role to play in the U.S. fight against Iran.

Three warships from San Diego and more than 2,000 Marines heading to the Middle East may have a crucial role to play in the US fight against Iran.
The San Diego-based USS Boxer amphibious assault ship and two other ships comprising the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit are en route to the region
USS Boxer (LHD-4) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship.
What is an amphibious assault ship?
Amphibious assault ship - Wikipedia
The role of the amphibious assault ship is fundamentally different from that of a standard aircraft carrier: the aviation facilities of AASs have the primary role of hosting V/STOL aircraft (mainly helicopters and tiltrotors) for large-scale troop landing and some close air support.

So far the numbers of Marines being deployed doesnt add up to a full scale invasion force I think. Maybe he's getting ready to take that oil island, forget the name offhand. Perhaps a couple of strategic islands in the strait as well?

When all this is done, and Iran's nuclear weapons program is totally wrecked. And the Iranian terrorist proxies no longer have the funding and support to make terrorist shit happen.
Then fuel prices return to normalcy, maybe even lower. Then the blue states, like NY, will raise the fuel tax and then chant, "high gas prices Orange Man Bad."
All the while, the rest of our country will benefit from the lower energy costs that President Trump created by putting America in the position of energy dominance.
The Democrats are so predictable that no crystal ball is needed.

Kharge island wont be taken first, to far North, like 300 miles north of the straights Its on the list, but they have to secure the straights first . Most likely the attack would come on the islands in the straight or even southern Iran .
Your right, Its to small for an invasion force ,but a small force in the south where there is a lot of desert Might draw out the Iranians into a fight with no air cover where they would be utterly wasted By American air and sea power
Another thing is that Iran knows the US cant possibly take any major city with the forces in theater at the present Or even if it could, it could not take 2 , not enough man power . So they feel they can thumb thier noses at the US because they dont have the forces to take over Iran right now.
harg Island, located in the northern Persian Gulf off Iran's coast, is the country’s primary oil export terminal, handling 90% of its crude exports. It hosts massive storage tanks, pipelines, and deep-water berths for tankers.
This is why the Marines may be going there.

I think one of the biggest faults we've had with military engagements is not going full-bore right from the get-go. If you're going to go to war, throw everything you legally can at it. Our military is incredibly powerful, but they're always restrained by politics. Tossing million-dollar missiles around isn't enough, way too many tiny regimes just hunker down and shrug it off.
Go big or go home. I'm not advocating for war, but if we're going to do it, go balls-to-the-wall.

A huge reason why Desert Storm was won so quickly was the open Rules of engagement. Amazing what can be done when you tell a bunch of young guys they can do pretty much anything they want....
For those who don't know, this is a big deal.
Strategically for operation planning, and cross off another country that is an "ally"
IMO
Europe is turning their backs on the US because they are worried their own Muslim migrant populations will revolt from within.
@GOPerfect what are your thoughts on this current situation?
Iran has been planning for this for actual generations. This is their "good war". They are highly motivated and feel it's a genuine existential threat. They know they cannot lose.
We are lobbing multi million dollar missiles at them blowing things up.
All Iran has to do is be more patient, be willing to absorb losses and then wait us out.
Overall situation
Lots to unpack....
Overall, I support the actions in Iran. I will not support the actions if everyday boots are put in country.
I continue to support my President. I do not think this will change.
The Left and the nations of NATO are failing due to their TDS.
I very much believe this is all part of the plan.
So many talk about the "plan", but I do not think many put all the pieces together to understand the plan.
