    They’re talking big talk, but sending in 2000 marines isn’t going to do much. Iran can play whack a mole while they wait out the clock. It’s a huge mountainous country and they only need to hit one ship in the strait to cause havoc.

    Trump’s already had the gall to look around for allies to help in the strait after his year long backstabbing tour. Iran’s upped their demands because they smell blood in the water and they just need to draw things out.

      after his year long backstabbing tour.

      It’s wild that someone with his status hasn’t figured out that maybe we shouldn’t bully every single country in the world, if only out of self-preservation and our own self-interest.

      I really hate that we as a people no longer care if our presidents have functioning brains.

      Those numbers at most would be suitable for taking a small island such as Kharg if he desperately wants a media victory.
      But that would be another gigantic mistake and suicide for all of them since they are sitting ducks for Iranian artillery and missiles.
      There’s no way they will be taken out to make it safe.
      Going into Iran itself is totally out of the question, it would take 2 million and a shitton of weapons of every kind.
      They already can’t keep up with this situation and having all their bases and radars in all the vassal states destroyed.
      Guaranteed defeat and 100000’s of dead invaders.

      Hey guys, anyone want to start WW3 on my side? Our power has been checked by Iran and we could really use some help. But also we don’t need your help. UK? Canada?.. Japan?.. China? I know your ships have free passage, but It would make really fun headlines if you helped me.

        Can’t believe how these turncoat politicians act.
        In the same speech Macron, the US bootlicker is ranting about evil Russia in Ukraine and 5 minutes later saying it’s a good idea to have a deal with them to supply oil.

        Hey we have this other problem now, can we put our little war on hold and be friends? We’ll get right back to sanctioning your oil, pirating ships and arming ukraine in a minute, promisse!

        Completely insane.
