Did you people watch the video? She first asked about boots on the ground in general and then specifically asked about Israeli boots on the ground. At no point in this clip did she mention American boots on the ground. I’m sure you all want to read into it that way and you might be right. But that isn’t what was said and this is a misleading headline. This is the entire problem with the Internet people just spew out their opinions and everyone shares it uncritically.


When speaking about Venezuela Trump said “ They always say, ‘boots on the ground.’ We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,”. Until HE anoints a new leader.

As for Iran, he said President Donald Trump said he isn’t ruling out sending U.S. troops to Iran, stating that “Operation Epic Fury” was ahead of schedule

“I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, ‘There will be no boots on the ground.’ I don’t say it,. ““I say ‘probably don’t need them,’ [or] ‘if they were necessary.'”

Contradicting that last sentence he promised no boots on the ground last year in Ukraine.


Speaking of boots on the ground…



I bet morale is going to be at an all time low. No one wants to die for Israel's war. At least with Iraq, you could pretend it was somehow connected to 9/11 as the government tried to make everyone believe.

GALLE, Sri Lanka (AP) — A torpedo fired by a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka, whose navy said Wednesday it recovered 87 bodies and rescued 32 people.

The Iranian vessel sunk in the Indian Ocean was the Islamic Republic’s “prize ship,” U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said. It was one of the few instances of a submarine sinking a ship since World War II.

I wonder why the US Navy allowed survivors? Isn’t the USN SOP to kill shipwreck survivors?

Israel’s military is 176,000. Iran’s is 610,000. The US military is 1.3 million.

The math here is not hard.

She first asks if there will be boots on the ground. Then she asks if those boots will include Israelis. It's obvious the first question refers to Americans boots. Not hard to understand.

Everyone knows Israelis like to have Americans fight their wars like they did in Iraq.


Because they know they’d lose


Israel could not supply the troops. It is a very small country. Its active duty ground forces are only 170k. They would be stretched to supply 10k troops. They are occupying Gaza, Lebanon, etc.


Add in the West Bank and Syria. You're right. Boots on the ground means Americans.


Israel has never helped America in any of these conflicts. In fact up until the past year, they even refused to allow US troops to transit through Israel. That's why there are so many US bases in Arab countries.

Was the juice worth the squeeze with this war? There are a million ayatollahs along with the the one he killed. It’s like killing a pastor. A religious leader can always be replaced. It means nothing at the end of the day and it did not bring the purported regime change as claimed despite “40,000 killed in five days” by this regime.


And it sounds like Russia is handing out targeting info to the Iranians while China is arming them.

How on Earth did they not support the war powers act?

The Ironic part is the countries calling for an end to this are the reason it is going on for so long. If we had full manpower with multiple airforces and navys attacking from multiple countries it would end this weekend.


Yes, the US is running low.


So the US sent all the military aid and arms to Ukraine and Israel and we have bare minimum to defend this country and protect our troops? Beautiful. What happened to Trump rebuilding our depleted military?


DJT just announced defense companies have agreed to quadruple weapons output.

Obviously, we don't have unlimited missiles or this wouldn't be necessary.


More money for arms dealers (which I think his son just in invested in 🤔) but none for medical researchers, children with AIDS, violence prevention, education…

Such twisted values!

Elect women people.

The Trump crime family profits while US soldiers get sent abroad to die for Israel. (Can't wait to read next that Barron's profiting from this as well instead of enlisting.)

Ahh yes the narcissist who is now well in to his dementia-dreaming he's Al Capone. Too bad he wasn't dreaming he was a solid and good president. What a timeline we are in .


But wait!
There’s more!!
Now Trump is urging Iranians to “take back their country” or face immediate death.

It’s like Trump thinks he’s in the last 15 minutes of the movie. A final battle from which will emerge some plucky Iranians who, with tears in their eyes, will insist the Nobel Committee give Trump his Peace Prize and then go on to name a slew of airports and buildings after Trump in Tehran.

No. Not even close.



Give it a chance. Once the Chinese and other actors stop laughing at the US and collect themselves they might decide that Trump has made the US weak enough to make moves.


Huh. That’s a new (and silly) one.

China is most assuredly not laughing about this. Don’t believe me? Try the WaPo: https://wapo.st/4usIC9I


Sadly, Bezos' WAPO is degraded and no longer a reliable source.


Perhaps you should address the substance of the arguments rather than dismiss the messenger. Convince me that the columnist is wrong, ‘cause it seems to be a fairly persuasive case.


DP. Why? You are maga. There is nothing that can be done to help you.


Ha! I’m very, very far from being MAGA. Despise Trump and all his toadies.

But that doesn’t mean I support fantasists posting nonsense. Quite the opposite—I oppose idiocy in all its forms—whether it originates from MAGA or the extreme left.


Yawn

There’s also no major transportation choke point—Russia already has oil pipelines to China, so it doesn’t depend on vulnerable sea routes. China is tired of winning.

Modi will get his oil from Russia. Have you forgotten about the meetup with Putin, Xi, and Modi in Moscow last year.
