But I thought they weren't calling it a war

Can't trust anything they say

Kharg Island is a single point of failure for the Iranian oil industry. Capturing it or destroying it would be devastating to the Iranian economy.

Look folks, reality can sometimes be hard to accept.

We all want freedom for Iran. The regime was a horrible, nasty pack of religious zealots for whom terrorism & murder was always the first option. Their revolution started by killing 400 people in a theater with arson & chained exit doors. They sent thousand of kids to their deaths with toy keys around their necks promising entry to heaven if they just walk in to Iraqi minefields.

I’ve tracked IRGC terrorism across Iraq, Lebanon, Syria & Yemen and even fought them in the PG, They almost killed me in 1988. The Islamic regime needed/still needs to be destroyed … that said:

People are getting upset with why I assess this war will likely fail to topple the regime.

Because it is a fantasy based in Trump’s head using lethal tools we prepared for 47 years for the right moment. That moment likely has passed.

Trump has no idea what he’s doing. Because he has contempt for the people who know what they’re doing & the history of what came before him.

If Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires then Iran is the funeral home of empires. It dresses you up and lays you into the coffin neatly. Then closes the lid.

Trump cannot understand why Iran hasn’t surrendered … "Lookit all them bombs,” he shouts "They should all love Trump!”

That’s it. That’s the Iran-War strategy. He does not care about the people of Iran. It a score settling grudge match egged on by Netanyahu’s 40 years of promises that war will change the regime if we just drop enough bombs & assassinate its leaders.

So If you want to live in a fantasy world where we are suddenly being greeted as liberators by the 93 million Iranians … feel free.

You are now set up for earth shattering disappointment.

You have to account for the fact that Trump could have attacked in support of the protesters in January. He didn’t & he let them be killed. He was completely indifferent. The 30k dead were a one-day talking point.

Right now, none of these attacks will liberate Iran without a populist uprising or invading ground forces. Worse case is a sectarian Civil war. If that happens the only outcome is that it will kill a lot of people, splinter the country & take down the global economy. Trump will sleep soundly & demand he be made Ayatollah.

This is literally his mental illness masked as foreign policy

This war may give some Iranians hope but it’s a false one. Gird for a horrible chain of dramatic events but rest assured Trump doesn’t care about the people of Iran.

He only want its oil. He said so.

I’m sorry folks, but my job is to deliver reality based assessments, not promise you sunshine in a swirling hurricane of flying bullets, bombs, excrement & razor wire.

That is all.

George W. Trump

Any read on that friendly fire incident in Kuwait now that the video from the ground came out?

Just give me the tweets.

You can distill every reason of how America has intellectually backslid by this one post.

This person, who's vote counts as much as mine, is actively seeking out facts and information from the EMB about war and foreign policy. Not only that, he's requesting that the topic be curated to remove all discourse and discussion and instead just feed him TWEETS.

F... we're cooked.

EMB gravy seal is over here bloodlusted hoping to get torture porn of some holy figure in Iran and he doesn't even know who it is.

Calm down, rambo. I'm sure you'll get to see more dead Muslims soon.

Look at this sad attempt at comedy starting off with a stock joke. Hack.

Yeah, Americans root for more of them to be gone. It's enjoyable for Americans. Sad and miserable people rooting for bad stuff to happen so they can blame Trump probably not so much.

Again, if you are in the space of rooting against America you find taking out every member of the regime offensive. Patriotic Americans are happy to see evil people like that gone and don't have to apologize for it.

He assumed a body cam video of a woman was proof that Haitians eat pets solely because she was black. And now he's openly admitting he wants to see more dead Muslims. But remember, he can't be racist because he takes care of black kids!
