BREAKING: Senator Blumenthal states Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran.

Boots on the ground.

A reminder that him & Netanyahu will not send their sons, but they expect your sons and daughters to go die for them so they can stay out of prison. Are we great yet? 🤔

[hookaleft]

1. omg!!!

kick

[OhioBlue]

2. Lying MFers.

This is Iraq on steroids.

[Bread and Circuses]

4. Yes it is

[RT Atlanta]

3. Where's the fucking congress?

They have to authorize this... take it to court, pull every fucking lever available to them. STOP THIS INSANITY.

This is proxy war paid for by our soldiers' blood for Israel - I cannot fathom the grief that the families of our lost soldiers must already feel....

[Bread and Circuses]

5. Congress has neutered itself. We need to reset this country.

[USS_Dauntless]

34. The way they have abdicated their duties is DISGUSTING!!

[AverageOldGuy]

6. Put Hogsbreath back in uniform . . .

. . . let him lead the charge.

Meanwhile, let's not forget the maxim: Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.

WTF does "boots on the ground mean?"

Drop in a battalion of 82d Airborne Division troopers?
Each troop will be carrying 100 pounds of gear, most of which they will ditch once the get on the ground. Then comes the problem of providing them with: ammo, water, food, spare parts. And how do we get this to them and where does it come from?

Airborne are light infantry. They have little or no protection against armor (tanks) or armored vehicles.

Remember: Iran is manufacturing at least half the drones Russia is using in Ukraine. If we have learned one thing from the war in Ukraine, it's the lethality of simple drones. Just wait until Iran unleashes drones on exposed infantry.

Land a few armored or mechanized infantry battlaions?

Where do they come from? The States, of course.
How do they get there? The troops fly in but the equipment comes by SEA. Oh, yes, I know -- an Air Force C-5 can haul a tank. But we will need a hundred tanks, not to mention the armored personnel carriers.

How long does it take to get the troops and their equipment into Iran? Weeks. That is, weeks unless Iran decides to shoot down the aircraft and sink the ships bringing in troops and equipment.

No matter what "boots on the ground" means: They still need mountains of ammo, water, fuel, food, spare parts, more ammo, more fuel, replacement personnel . . . .

But, hey, who gives a shit about reality? This is Trump and Hogsbreath we are talking about. Two batshit crazy, dumb-as-dirt amateurs, trying to act tough.

[Mysterian]

20. There is no scenario in which "a few" battalions would be deployed

Any commitment of ground troops would mean multiple divisions. Probably try to grab a port city. But this is the imbecile regime with Kegbreath as SecDef so anything is possible.

[Dan]

39. Sorry, you're wrong.

Think, Armies, something like a couple hundred thousand per Army.

[Mysterian]

41. Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about

[superpatriotman]

7. #sendbarron

And all the other fortunate sons first.

Let’s try a war that way for a change.

[TheRickles]

8. I just read that Barron is exempt from military service because he's too tall.

He's 6' 9", and the upper height limit is 6' 8". So that's at least one Trump with a valid medical exemption from serving.

[orangecrush]

10. I'll sign a waiver

[dflprincess]

16. Over the last couple years reports have listed him as 6'7" and 6'9"

Like his sire, he may be lying about his height.

[Ms. Toad]

19. He's 19. Boys continue to grow until 18-20.

Reports of his height at younger ages would likely be shorter than his current height.

[orangecrush]

29. Good

He'll be useful looking over the top of a foxhole

[Renew Deal]

21. Measure him again

[MorbidButterflyTat]

22. Says who?

Where did he try to enlist?

[orangecrush]

9. ...

[ChicagoTeamster]

11. For what? what objectives are being pursued that require ground combat troops? Are we supporting a local resistance?

Are there key objectives that have to be seized? occupied?

[BidenRocks]

12. If there were a draft,

where would the objectors go?
Canada is out. I don't think they would take kindly to being invaded regardless of the reason.

[Red Mountain]

13. That won't leave many for the invasions of Cuba

and Greenland.

[Skittles]

14. I have to ask

WOULDN'T THAT NEED CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL???

WTF

[OGBuzz]

25. Trump no longer worries about minor inconveniences like the Congress, or SCOTUS, or the Constitution.

He is now Supreme Leader, the Emperor of America, and he can do pretty much anything he wants. Who's gonna stop him? Demolishing the East Wing and plastering his face on the Justice Department headquarters was a sign of things to come.

[Buddyzbuddy]

15. If our uniforms are on the ground in Iran, you can't

possibly criticize the war because that would discourage our efforts. It would be your fault for not giving this war effort your full throated support.

At least that's how they'll spin it.

[dflprincess]

17. And will Israel also be sending ground troops?

Just curious.

[OGBuzz]

26. No need. Trump has the ground covered.

[Botany]

18. And why are we in Iran?

Just asking.

U.S. troops on the ground in Iran? This has bad idea written all over it.

[DallasNE]

23. Iran Has A Population Of 90 Million People

Trump doesn't have the military assets in place to invade such a large country, so clear, hold, build my *ss. So bungled, so soon.

[Crowman2009]

24. Imagine Iraq, but with mountains and an exponentially larger population.

[Ray Bruns]

32. This is why.

[Deuxcents]

27. Call in the ICE agents. They're all in and there are plenty of them.

Seriously, we need to be calling our representatives and senators tomorrow

[IcyPeas]

28. Netanyahu's son lives in luxury in Miami

Oralè Resister
Operation Epic Fury:
3 US Servicemen were killed and 5 seriously wounded in Kuwait in the Trump Netanyahu
War on Iran!
This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair, poolside in Miami chilling. And not one of DJT
Children is anywhere near the Middle East today!

30. If true

pure insanity

[DFW]

31. 39% of Iran is not even Persian

If we had spent the same money that the attack cost on covert operations helping the domestic opposition in Iran, we might have had regime change by now without expending our own resources.

It sure worked for Putin in the USA.

[LudwigPastorius]

33. Iraq has 600,000 troops and 300,000 reserves, and it is FOUR TIMES the size of Iraq.

What is the fucking objective? Take Tehran?

OK, that'll need half a million troops with pre-staged, adequate supply lines which don't exist and won't exist any time soon.

And, say that works and you take the capital, what then?

Sounds like Trump is going to half-ass a ground invasion and get a bunch of soldiers killed for no reason.

[ForeGoneLegsBirne]

35. 600,000 Motivated, Serious & Trained Troops Not Saddam 's Corps De Corruption n/t

[SSJVegeta]

36. A law should be passed requiring the sons and daughters of all elected officials to be first ones drafted in a war

If every country passed a law like that, imagine how much more cooperative the world would be. Throw onnthe children of the financial elite, and you might get world peace.

[nikatnyte]

37. Risking lives to protect a pedophile

More will die needlessly because of this insanity. I hope troops keep the image of the young girls Trump raped in mind when they face the "enemy."

[Liberal In Texas]

38. If that happens...the draft will come in 3...2...1...

[WestMichRad]

40. Self-destruction of the USA is beginning to come into focus.

I had hoped it would not happen in my lifetime.
