The burgeoning #ColdWar was kicked into overdrive on #ThisDayInHistory in 1947 with the #TrumanDoctine, aka the policy of #Containment. It committed the US to an expensive #ForeverWar to stop the spread of #socialism, including by supporting literal #fascists in Greece & Türkiye.

#Ukraine has land borders with 3 NATO countries. #Taiwan has none. #Taiwan has no land border with any #US treaty/allay nation. #Ukraine can be supplied by land easily, not possible with #Taiwan.

In case of a blockade or embargo by #PLAN or #PLAAF it would be required that #USN, #USMarines/#USM and to a lesser degree #USAF join the fray otherwise #Taiwan gets starved into submission. It gets staved of #armaments, #fuel, #food and #bullets.

Is #IranWar worth it?

#ForeverWar #EndlessWar

Cost of #IranWar till now $ 29B and counting

Cost of new America class amphibious assault ship for #USM - $ 3.5B
Cost of 2 Harpers Ferry-class dock landing ship - $ 0.65B
Cost of 2 San Antonio class amphibious transport docks - $ 3.2B
Cost of 2 Ticonderoga-class cruisers escorts - $ 2.5B
Cost of 2 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer - $ 5B
Total cost of a new #USM expeditionary strike group - $ 14.85B

#Taiwan Contingency happens post 2027 or in 2027

#ForeverWar #ForeverWars #Endlesswar #EndlessWars

Cost of #IranWar till now 29 Billion and counting

Cost of new Ford class CVN - 13.5 billion
Cost of 2 Ticonderoga-class cruisers escorts - 2.5 billion
Cost of 2 John Lewis class replenishment ships - 1.4 billion
Cost of 4 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer - 10 billion
Total cost of a NEW CVN based CBG - 27.4 billion

2027 is coming up fast. What would have been a better return on expenditure? #IranWar or 2 new additional CBG over an above the 10 already planned

"in reality, Trump has left with zero tangible progress or diplomatic achievements. He failed to stand up to #China on Taiwan or rare earth minerals, sold out American #farmers, and secured only one deal, which fell short of expectations and tanked Boeing’s stock price.
"The trip was designed to broker agreements on everything from tech to tariff relief to peace in the Middle East. Trump did not deliver."

Mowing the lawn huh?
What happens when #Iran rebuilds its centrifuges again. Enriches Uranium to 60% or more again? Epic Fury - II? How many Epic-furies will there be 3, 4,10, 25, 100 or more? And in the middle of this if #Taiwan contingency happens then what?

What happens to #EpsteinFiles in the meantime? Should they be forgotten? That is why this war was started, wasnt it?

Dont know whether #MTG spoke the truth or not. If she is given benefit of doubt then who are these friends of #DJT who would be hurt by releasing the #EpsteinFiles?

#IranWar is an attempt to push #Epstein under the carpet. Where are the remaining #Epsteinfiles. Why aren't abusers names in clear text and victims names hidden? Where are the remaining files?

Not a single molester of school girls, in #Epstein files has been booked.

"Trump’s own military intel says he’s failing to make any progress on the key goal he says his war in the Middle East is designed to achieve.
"Assessments by U.S. intelligence suggest Iran would currently need exactly the same period of time to build a nuclear bomb as it would have needed in the aftermath of Trump’s attacks on facilities in the country last June, Reuters reports."

When the debts and the prices do soar
and do look like stopping no more,
then let's pray to the king
and his brain cell within:
Bring the world yet another big war.
