Say it ain’t so guys. I hope he is wrong on this one.
War without boots on the ground has been bad enough. We do not need more casualties and heartache.

Eh…..he’s a far-left Democrat trying to scare Americans.

The war is only 12 days old. Iran is being decimated from the air, and there’s no reason to send in ground troops.

What Trump has done is a GOOD thing, and history will show him to be the best president since Lincoln. And this is why the leftists like you are in a meltdown.

OP’s home country has been independent from Russia for decades, yet they are obsessed with Trump for some reason.

You seem like a GD party person.

Go to the Georgia board.

A Russia-like crackdown in Georgia is targeting protesters, rights activists and the media

Georgia has been facing a wave of protests against its government's repressive policies. The demonstrations began in November 2024 after the government halted talks about the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million joining the European Union.

The protests began when the government halted talks about joining the European Union. That move came after the longtime ruling party Georgian Dream won an election that the opposition alleged was rigged.

I always assumed “Georgia” meant he was from the state of Georgia.

I was making a joke.

Sen. Blumenthal is a documented liar, who has repeatedly bragged about fighting in Vietnam when he was nowhere near the country while the war was going on.

I wouldn't take his word for this at all, the left's allies, the Ayatollahs, are going down the drain quickly and Mr. Blumenthal is just hoping here.

Is it treason to give away military plans to the enemy?

1. Hate Hoax 107

2. Bait America into another forever war serving Israel, not US.

3. watch Dems sweep the midterms

I first read your sentence as “is it treason to give away military PLANES to the enemy?” - which is in effect what Biden did when he abandoned all our equipment n Afghanistan.

 

[ColonelAngus]

What other US military plans should Stolen Valor Dick tell the world?

It's difficult for me to believe that he would do this. But I keep overestimating him, so we'll see.

Such a hard decision. A biased Democrat from the Senate or a right wing, not messageboard guy. I don’t know what to think.!

thanks for clarifying there will be no troops on the ground.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Maybe Dick can share exactly how we would deploy troops.

These security briefings are not classified?

 

[ColonelAngus]

You fake fockers who TWEAKED about Trump not removing his hat for the fallen soldiers the other day…..STOLEN VALOR DICK MUST REALLY PISS YOU OFF…..RIGHT?

Hegseth spent $20 million on steak and lobster.

He still looks very fit. Probably lots of cardio after all that steak and lobster.

Lefty media is getting worse and worse.

Let's get this right; it's not complicated. There is ONE remaining task for the U.S. in this "war": getting control of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile. That cache is presumably located in a place where it cannot be directly bombed, and furthermore, such a gross approach would not be tolerable to the American public, as it could expose a population center to dangerous radioactivity. So the only way to accomplish this last task is with [I hate this expression] "boots on the ground."

But "boots on the ground" in this modern context is not the same as it has been in the past. We are not talking about masses of American soldiers going up against machine-gun nests. We are talking about highly trained, highly specialized troops executing a specific task, then moving out. Some will undoubtedly become casualties in the effort, but "we" (the President) have determined that it would be worth it for the greater good.

Hell, I don't think they have figured out what to do with it when we get there. It can't be blown up and probably can't be neutralized. Maybe just bomb access to it, so it can "never" be accessed by Iran in the future.

The U.S. is not committed to military "regime change," and it is altogether possible that once this task is complete, Our Beloved President would declare victory and withdraw. Future attacks would only come in retaliation for Iranian attacks and atrocities. The Israelis on the other hand, are committed to regime change, so might continue pursuing their own agenda even after we have effectively withdrawn. That will be interesting.

Every day, our Democrat "leaders" manifest their anti-Americanism with their comments about this war (and immigration matters). Don't you just love it?

 

[Polishprince]

Our liberal friends, like CFG, want a war with boots on the ground in Iran. It will give them something to run on. What would really excite them is if there would be a draft to motivate young people to accept socialism.

Its not going to happen, however, and much to their chagrin, the mullahs are history much like the ultraliberal dictator in Venezuela.

You got 3 immovable forces in the Middle East. Various YT channels give this summation.

Jews want Iran turned into rubble so they can achieve their Greater Israel goals. Iran is the last of their 7 Middle East countries the Jews wanted destroyed in 5 Years.

The USA does what their Jew masters tell them to do. It is not the USA's choice for deploying soldiers to Iran...the USA does whatever their Jew overlords command them to do.

Iran has 2 choices...

They can lose to the Jews / Christian USA slaves. Or Iran can survive as a country. To survive as a country means they fight to the death and take as much of the corrupt Middle East, Jews and US bases down as they can. Iran will not survive by unconditional surrender to the Jews / USA. Iran will not survive by giving up any ballistic missile means they have for self-defense. They know that.

The Jews / USA choice is to give up this crazy scheme they have concocted or keep fighting until someone can't fight any longer. The current methods the Jews are using in taking over the Middle East is to destroy any means of building back. That is what they are doing in Lebanon and Syria. They destroy all their concrete factories by bombing them. If the Jews / USA can't achieve their goals of destroying Iran, they may use nuclear weapons to exterminate the Persians under the guise of the WW2 claim that nukes save lives. If and when Iran falls, the Jews / USA will start moving on Turkey, Saudi Arabia and part of Egypt. The Jews want that land as well.

There is also China and Russia involved in this, but it looks like their involvement is minimal. This is supported by the fact that China has 1 or 2 foreign military bases, Russia has about a dozen foreign bases, and the USA has 750 - 800 foreign bases. China and Russia are loath to get involved in foreign wars. This whole mess could have been avoided if China and Russia had a security agreement with Iran.

From the comments on the YT channels by the political analysts, China and Russia have incompetent leadership when it comes to war. China has supposedly already lost 50% of its crude oil suppliers and if Iran falls, it will go higher. Eventually the USA will control all sources of crude oil worldwide except for Russia, which the USA and Europe are working to destroy and break up.

Do you promise not to manually come up with reasons if ground troops are sent?
