Coming soon.... Boots on the ground.

Alastair Crooke on Glenn Diesen suggest that this is all narrative war....because actually using them makes no sense.....the runners of Empire are surely not THAT dumb......
 
That the Empire is dispatching a few lightly armed Marines from the West coast in a few days to a war that Trump is talking about pulling the declare victory and get out of this mess stunt is something to notice.

If the marines get killed, the American people will demand for Trump to nuke Iran. That's how stupid we are.

Trump said he obliterated their nuclear program, so what else was there?

Well Trump said in the last hit on Iran they "devastated" them so that was left.

There is also 'annihilate' and 'decimate'. Maybe 'eradicate'? Maybe 'demolish'.

Since 'obliterate' the nuclear program only means it is set back a a few months and iran was a week away from attacking the US with nukes, as Trump claims, i suspect every few months each, for the rest of Trumps term, those adjectives will all be used up in new attack after new attack.
 
Trump is retarded. Why would you unsanction Iranian oil thats already in tankers? Those tankers are on open seas. Either sieze them and add them to the SPR or destroy them.

Trump has been warned this escalation could very rapidly tip the US and maybe the world into recession, if gas prices spike to high.

So simply seizing Iran tankers and saying 'the US will keep and sell the oil' would mean Iran would cease future shipments and that volume would be lost to the markets and that scares Trump right now. That is why they also are removing sanctions from Russia.

With mid east oil thru the Strait being held hostage by Iran, Trump needs every other source, including Iran oil to China to flow.

then they cease all future shipments. That means they have no money to pay their soldiers and this is over faster. Trump has no spine.

Trump has no hand. Air strikes alone have done the damage they can do and Iran is now as a point where air strikes alone cannot prevent them doing what they are doing.

We are at the grind point of the Afghan war where you can keep fighting but not really change anything on the ground.

Trumps team will try desperately to find a deal Iran will live with and stand down and even if they have to give in to extreme demands that set Iran up in a far better position then they were before Trump cancelled the Obama deal, he will gladly take it and claim victory.

And his magats will clap like seals.

We should hope it is no worse than this.
