"We are talking about thousands of paratroopers, including the Immediate Response Force, being positioned in the Middle East for potential ground operations. That is how wars expand. At the same time, Marine Expeditionary Units are moving into position, the USS Tripoli is en route, and additional naval assets are following, including the USS Boxer."

"This is a full-scale military buildup that points to something much bigger than the White House is willing to admit publicly.

All of this is happening as the situation on the ground continues to deteriorate in real time. ... What makes this even more dangerous is that Trump’s actions are making the situation harder to resolve, not easier."

"Donald Trump’s administration is moving thousands of US service members to the Middle East East, amid the disastrous US-Israeli war on Iran. And, just as with the historic public opposition to the war, there is unprecedented dissent brewing inside the military – with some troops currently on their way to the Middle East seeking to refuse fighting."

(is Rubio involved?)
