We need the top brass to appreciate the lives of this voluntary military than put them in such a hi risk of death situation with little chance of a good outcome. Men and women killed, gas prices skyrocket. Fertilizer to grow the world’s crops will be decimated, and the risk of terrorism on American soil goes up exponentially. Pushes other countries to China.depletes our own defensive capabilities. Inflation, , lower standard of living, cutting needed social benefits, stealing from Social Security. I’m sure there’s more too. All to satisfy the ego of one old man who will either die soon or become demented and won’t care or even suffer any of the consequences.

Is the war being 'sold' to the President? From 1917's Bernays doctrine to 2026's daily strike montages for Trump. I’ve analyzed the danger of Washington falling into its own 'False Flag' trap due to self-deception. Read the latest analysis from The Anatolian Desk

I believe you may be missing a critical point. All the talk about winning and victory are smokescreens for a more insidious plan. That plan is to create long-term disruption, like Afghanistan. The goal is to destroy the ability of the political system to govern. In other words, a major power is neutered. That is almost as good as victory.

It could be a blood bath for US forces. Trump

Is pushing for an attack.

It is easy for him to bluster and posture and urge action as he has absolutely no idea what it is like to go into combat in a hostile environment. It is easy because he is a clueless coward who has never been there done that.

Take charge island. It's a way point for oil coming FROM Iran. Take the island at a HUGE cost of American lives and ... the Iranians turn off the pumps that feed the refinery. Is anyone paying attention to what's really happening? Refineries do not drill for oil. It will just mean that the world - any country still getting oil will stop and the price - which American oil companies will charge - goes even higher. Brilliant...
