Would Americans support US troops seizing and occupying Kharg Island ?

[d0gbreath]

In another thread, someone mentioned "until we contain Iran". Like we contained North Vietnam?

 

[scruffy]

In a battle for the island of Kharg, if there is damage done to the infrastructure that supports the oil depot watch the price of oil spike like it never has before.

Is Iran selling its oil to the western world? If not, why should we care about the price of gas in China?

Is Iran selling its oil to the western world?

It would, or we could do it for them and manage their finances?

If not, why should we care about the price of gas in China?

The price of gas and oil is global, it just is.

 

[Concerned American]

Third, putting Marines on a static Island with nothing to do except dodge missiles is a Terrible Idea Squared!

With that thinking, there would have never been a successful assault on Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Peleliu, Guadalcanal or Okinawa. SMH.

Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Kwajalein, Betio...

It is very simple supply and demand. If Iran cannot supply oil, the supply is reduced substantially but the demand stays the same. Other producers will sell China at a higher price. And everyone will pay a higher price.

Oil pricing is partially regulated worldwide.

China is tracking the USS Tripoli today, in real time. Iran can drop precision guided missiles on it when it’s 400 miles away, maybe more

So yeah exactly like WWII amphibious landings

At what cost? that was a World war against Japanese Imperialism, are you willing to see those casualties for the Tangerine Buffoon and his inflated ego? Iwo Jima cost almost fife thousand dead Marines, not to mention the Kami Kazi attacks on ships, my Uncle was a 20mm Oerlikon AA gunner on the British carrier HMS Victorious in that battle.

Yeah, my grandfather was one of the assault force on Guadalcanal--so what? Iran has terrorized the world long enough. Their populace is fed up with these mullahs murdering anyone that disagrees with them. You like Iran so much, load your stuff up and volunteer for them. PLEASE.

Lies? What rock have you been under for the past 47 years. In addition to the sedition that Iran has spread on the west, their own neighbors want to see that bully removed from the equation. Run along, your ignorance prevents any intelligent discourse.

What sedition? and you guys are always talking about the past 47 years as if there was no reason for that uprising in Iran, and don't forget the CIA/MI6 instgated coup in 1953 that overthrew the Democratic Government at that time, you people never learn just keep your nose out of other Countries and concentrate on your own then you won't have a problem.

 

[Concerned American]

Like you are now. Tell me what business do you have telling the US how to conduct THEIR business? How about practicing what you preach and KEEP YOUR NOSE out of American issues.

Iran doesn't even have a drone anymore. They're all tapped out.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Same thing. Congress voted. Trump couldn't be bothered.

Trump complied with the War Powers Act. Have a nice ******* day!

 

[Zincwarrior]

My grandfather died there.

Oh, wait.

What makes you think Iran has anything other than a point in the general direction and shoot do you think they have left?

They have demonstrated no ability to hit any specific targets less than a square mile or wider and they even suck at that!
