Would Americans support US troops seizing and occupying Kharg Island ?

[Mac-7]

So the IRGC has been Gazafying the non Sharia population?

You tell me

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You tell me

I haven’t heard about it

There’s one ME government that’s exterminating a population and it’s not Iran

 

[CrusaderFrank]

That is the most recent act of terrorism by the Pals

But ultimately it dates back to the creation of radical islam in 1400

The Palis or Hamas?

The Palestinians took in Jewish refugee after WWII and lived peacefully until the Zionists decided they couldn’t coexist

 

[SeaMajor7]

My outrage is because America was already on a razor’s edge and did not need to go to war over Jared’s Tingling Spidey Sense!

Tens of trillions of our debt is directly from building Greater Israel

Sneak attacking Iran was the absolute last thing we needed. But maybe it will be exactly what’s needed to make July 4th Independence Day again

Blah blah blah "sneak attack". Are you ******* kidding?
The negotiations went nowhere. No DEAL was accepted by Iran. They KNEW what the consequences were going to be. There was no SNEAK about it.
Gee, I'd bet you're on the GENOCIDE bandwagon too with Mamdani.
Man, I can't believe a poster I've respected for DECADES has sunk so low. SAD.

Thats not true

Hamas attacked Israel, killed butchered several thousnd and kidnappers several hundred

Then the terrorists embedded themselves throughout the residents of Gaza and said “come and get us”

Which Israel did

They are one in the same

I know

I feel a little badly about that too

But I see things and understand things a certain way. It’s easier for me to live with this friction than to pretend I agree

The crux of it is that Iran should have stayed way down near the bottom of the “To Do” list.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

They are one in the same

Are you sure?

 

[kyzr]

That's hilarious! Oh wait you're not serious are you?

I thought you wanted Iranians to run Iran

We need to get the crazy Jihadis out of the government first, especially the IRGC.

How better to control the population than by controlling their paychecks?

I completely disagree. Kicking the Iran can down the road has gotten THOUSANDS killed since their ******* revolution FIFTY YEARS AGO.
But, I have no choice but to accept that you are gone off the edge.
I hope to see you come back to reality someday.
Peace, Frank.

And, for the record, I think taking Kharg Island would be strategically BRILLIANT.

 

[Blaster]

Give this island to the Kurds.

 

[Mac-7]

Are you sure?

Yes

Hamas id embedded within the community

 

[AsherN]

Show of hands, who thinks parking a Marine expeditionary force on an Island with no cover and in range of every enemy drone and missile is a good idea?

What's their mission, assuming Iran allows them to land on the island?

You assume the Tripoli makes it to the island. It needs to transit the Strait first.

 

[AsherN]

There is no real strait there. The island is in the Persian Gulf, not the Strait of Hormuz.

And how do you get to the island?

 

[Blaster]

And how do you get to the island?

By boat.

 

[SeaMajor7]

What's gonna impede their passage? YOU?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

You assume the Tripoli makes it to the island. It needs to transit the Strait first.

That's true

Iran has the capability to sink it any pont along the way

Not sure why we'd sent it anyway

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Yes

Hamas id embedded within the community

So therefore we should Gazafy all of Iran. Interesting way to win Hearts and Minds

Did Jared's Tingly Spidey Sense tell us that?

 

[Independent thinker]

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 ?

I don't know. It would seem to me that they would be sitting ducks for Iranian missiles. They'd probably stand a better chance with a ground invasion than having 2000 troops all on a little bitty Island close by.
