Would Americans support US troops seizing and occupying Kharg Island ?

[Deadstick]

Beirut 1983. Iran killed 243. How soon we forget. We never responded.

For a start they shouldn't have been in Beirut taking sides in a civil war and Iran didn't kill them that was the Islamic Jihad group, and which Women did they mutilate? do you remember when a US warship shot a Iranian airlinr down killing all onboard? then they promoted the Ships Captain and gave him a medal?

 

[Deadstick]

We should control Iran's oil output and finances until Iran gets a new, hopefully secular, government.

Well maybe Iran will decide to carry on with the war until Trump is committed to a mental institution and the criminal State of Israel has Regime change.

How could Iran carry on with no oil money? Think hard. Without Kharg island they can't sell oil.

It was sponsored by iran. They were in Beirut and they were killed. Ill not shed a tear if the entire islamic guard is decimated down to neutrons, protons, and electrons. These shia occultists are worse than animals.

Sponsored by Iran? any actual evidence? some of you clowns even blamed Hezbollah, it's you Trump and Nuttenyahu cultists who are worse than animals, in fact you are Satanic.

I'll not argue with your emotions. You lack facts or substance.

We've all seen the reports of the USS Tripoli headed towards the Persian Gulf carrying thousands of Marines , Armor , ect .. It wouldn't be a surprise if said troops are being sent to occupy Kharg Island, an area of critical strategic and economic importance to the Islamofascist regime in Iran .. Even though there's a very good chance that US troops will not face any major resistance if they land on Kharg Island , would it still been seen as a reversal of Trumps claim of no boots on the ground in Iran ? or would Americans view the occupation of said undefended island as not putting troops on the ground in Iran? would Americans view it as a good strategic move to put even more pressure on the Islamofascist regime ?

Dotard is moving the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit to the area. One plausible use of those roughly 2,500 Marines is taking Kharg Island and I think that's exactly what his orders will be. Cuz all he knows what to do now is escalate the situation.

Even though he said there would be no "boots on the ground." It goes without saying nothing he says can be believed.

Bank on it happening. Trump and Hegseth are not playing footsie. Trump will break the mullahs, he will grind up the IRGC. We are going in boots on ground in a quasi-multinational effort to seize Kharg Island.

And it may go beyond that.

It might end up that we must destroy considerable infrastructure we otherwise would have wanted to spare.

Failure is not an option here and the USA must get Iran under control and free up the Strait to get oil going. It might end up with a few battalions on the ground in a pitched fight. It would not surprise me to see us lose several thousand soldiers, but war is war and had we not waited 47 years to confront the unpleasantry of this maniacal murderous theocracy, it would have been a lot easier.

Then there is the matter of finding and retrieving all of that enriched uranium they have.

Sadly, it is the democrats now who are forcing our hand here.

Kharg Island takeover would be a suicide mission for US troops.

Kharg island would be a cake walk, especially if the Kurds took the shoreline east of it.

What part of Iran can hit that place with everything, because it's close to them, do you not understand?

What part of 90% of Iran's oil exports go thru Kharg island do you not understand? If they hit it they are very poor toast.

So they move that, and kill all of the US Marines sent there. It doesn't look very promising to me.

Is that your military expertise on this?

The returned money was going to happen regardless....

In the law suit which Iran had brought against us to get their money back, we lost.

The judge ruled we had to return it with interest, of which was being calculated to be a huge amount....

Obama's team of negotiators worked a deal for nuclear non-proliferation and returning the Iranian money without the humongous interest amount the judge was ruling to be sent.

a court headed by a Russian judge ..

there will be no boots on the Ground in Iran .. Kharg Island is now property of the US !

So what are you waiting for?

A court ruling.....are you trying to mimic the CHILDISH Trump and blame it all on judges that don't worship him??

Please stop.

 

[gipper]

I trust the IDF and their intelligence capabilities. If they believe Karg Island can be safely secured that would be a good strategic move.

You aren’t informed. I doubt any invasion of Karg Island is forthcoming, unless US military leadership is as dumb as Dumb Don.

Lose a few thousand soldiers as long as you are not one of them
