The Pentagon is preparing to deploy about 3,000 troops from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East, adding to the thousands of Marines already headed to the region to assist with operations in Iran.
No decisions have been made for troops to enter the country, according to two defense officials, who confirmed the planned deployment. But the buildup of troops is a drastic escalation in the U.S.-Israel war against the Iranian regime and heightens the possibility that American servicemembers will go into Iran.
Thats a lot for a war he already won.
The invasion Force used for Iraq (2003) was I believe around 300,000 soldiers.
Iran is four times the size of Iraq.
This might be enough soldiers to seize one of Iran’s small coastal islands, but it’s not enough to hold it for long once the drones and missiles start falling.
There might be other smaller Iranian holdings in the general region that they’re looking at, but using that force inside the straight or gulf, would be a bloodbath.
Well, it might be interesting if they were to try to take Kharg…
Sure they can aim there, but they would be a) destroying their own incredibly important infrastructure and b) redirecting munitions that could otherwise be used on soft targets in gulf states
They just need one guy running around the island waving a flag and airpower to sink incoming boats
besides
The size of?
Text to speech, fixed.
Iraq 2: dumb harder
3*
Lol! Trump is going to bankrupt the country. Fuckin’ idiot.
Bankrupting is his forte.
Well, that and raping little girls.
If we collapse the WHOLE system and money isn’t real…win win /s
We have been on track for that for 20 years. What’s new
We don’t need it to suddenly be a speedrun.
The ene result is the same though. We are headed to bankruptcy.
Oompa Loompa told the nation
have no fear of escalation,
I am trying everyone to pleaseThough it isn’t really war
We’re sending 3,000 more
To help save Trump from EpsteinGood luck with your…uhh, mission or whatever the fuck it is that your doing there.
For a war we have already won? For a war where Iran sent a super cereal prize to Trump to start negotiations? For a war that isnt a war but a little excursion?
Seems kinda weird to do something like that unless the supposed “peace talks” are a ruse to get more troops over there for an invasion.
About enough to fight a country the size of us west coast
“About 3,000”?
How many is that? 2,999? 2,751? 2,043?
I guess it really doesn’t matter anyway.
That’s just newspapering. The military tells you 2,986 troops or 3,087 troops, and as a reporter you round to keep it simple for the morons and boomers. I’m not bothered by rounding in terms of deployment numbers, but casualty numbers should never be rounded.
