Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran

If President Trump approves the plans, such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U.S. troops than the first four weeks.

Oh, I'm sure it'll all be over by Christmas.

Ben Franklin mentioned “wine is proof God loves Us” sorry folks it’s not beer.

I will add, tanks and BS is proof God is not involved !

Again ! I am not a religious man, but I have done my homework 🤩

The level of insanity in thinking this is a good idea is off the charts.

There isn't yet zero support among the US public, but it will fall to very near zero as casualties mount, fossil-fuel and derivative products prices spike higher, and financial markets tumble.

I've seen this #WaPo sourced photo on several different media platforms, from a significant number of sources

Has anyone bothered to stop and question what it shows?

We are presented with an amphibious landing from landing craft pulled up on sandy beaches, disgorging APCs and Humvees and troops, with BlackHawk tiltrotors artfully placed in the background providing cover

Does the WaPo seriously think #Hegseth is going to navigate landing craft through the #HormuzStrait and up the #PersianGulf to #KhargIsland where they'll simply land and waltz ashore?

This is a complete and utter misrepresentation by the WaPo that borders on criminal, if not treason

This is what the US public is being sold?

And is this why #JeffBezos bought the #WashingtonPost, to push #Trump #Propaganda to the US public?
