Iran said they're waiting for you. This is going to be bigger than project Blue beam!
#Trump #Iran #Military
“Realistically, U.S. troops on Kharg Island would last only days before casualties rise, supply lines fail, and Iran’s missiles overwhelm defenses. I hope no one ever puts our troops in that position.”

@baronsilverthorne4277I'm going over to FoxNewsJive comments....troll the dummies there...it's fun! 😅
@katiez1941Captain BoneSpurs is ready to place our troops in harm's way. Don't take the bait. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.
@v_dad2101CAN SOMEONE SAY INSIDER TRADING????
@seph2x538Trumpstein is as bent as the Strait of Hormuz.
@publicinrageAlready taco
@AoSWillIt takes a great President to put the country before politics. My kids and grandkids. We'll have a better future. We don't need another North Korea. Yes\nDemocrats should take a lesson , write this down
@joeschneider8025Yeah capturing a burning island...
And Trump called servicemen idiots.
Never before has USAmerica lost a war so fast.
oh donnie boy, you are a LOUSY PRESIDENT
@gregoryallen6816This is happening because the oil markets have stopped responding to his weekly threats so he needs to do some bombing so he, his kids and his ultra wealthy cronies can make some $$$ on the oil market fluctuations again! (The above is my opinion based on observation of recent media reporting. All I know for certain is that every time I see Trump and Iran in the same news article billionaires get richer and my daily costs go up!!!!)
@philthomas2378Another island the Trumps are trying to steal!
@Fun2FunkyTo be clear, is Greenland off the table then?
@RARenfieldTrump said
He doesn't care about affordablety
Or inflation.
Humpty Dumpty Trump won't care how many Americans will die in his war.
Where is Congress and the Senate. Worthless republicans.
Sooner or later, the military will revolt against Trump. They know he's lost his marbles.
@jameskelly8506Are we the bad guys now? Saying he loved inflation because he was stealing oil. Come on make us honest again.
@lemmingbane7653Donald Trump’s obsession with islands continues: Epstein’s island is an embarrassment, Greenland is not for sale—so now he’s apparently set his sights on Kharg.
@Priamos-n2nYou can not fight wars listening to too many voice's, you only end up doing nothing and from a bomb you die.
@DannyPhiri-y2u4gWe in Canada hope that when your Madman in Chief causes the final implosion of your country we will have diversified far enough and fast enough to survive the inevitable tsunami that will hit us.
Quite apart from Trump's obvious insanity, I see nothing in your dysfunctional political and governmental structure that will prevent the inevitable collapse.
Fat Donnie is a coward, even with your kids. More empty threats.
@lawrencejeffrey9245He’s going to get us into WW3, this man is insane and no one is stopping him even though they can see how bad things are right now!!!! My GOD, it’s incredible to watch 😮
@EdgardoPadilla-nv9peFDT and his EPSTEIN WAR!!
@miguelpaul1164starting ANOTHER forever war. the WORST POTUS of all time. and there have been a large handfull before
@shadowbox51Trump knows all about “taking” things on an island! 😂
@SabbathMaidenPriestIran will roll out the red carpet for ground troops to take Kharg island. Once they're there, it's either fish in a barrel or a large group of hostages. This will be a total disaster...
@easy6427So, the plan to replace Iranian oil with stolen Venezuelan oil isn't working out?
@GlencairnsDoes anyone remember who said this....'I will be the Peace President'.....the same man who threatened to commit genocide on Iran,the same global thug who attacked Venezuela and said it was 'drug boats' he was wiping out,which was another lie from Hegseth,Trump and the rest of the rotten sycophantic regime? Don't forget when you need to vote to save your free speech and democracy.........
@theweatherman1874I can see Netanyahu and Smotrich already dancing on the tables. And drinking to "the destruction of more innocent lives".
@rendaninemavhidi1554Iwo Jima , the same size as Kharg, took 36 days and cost 26,000 casualties, with 7,000 dead. Iwo was 750 miles from japan, Kharg is 15 miles from Iran, well within range of modern artillery. Any general or admiral that sent their troops into that killing field should be put up against the wall and shot
@douglasbeachler3890What short memories we have. Negotiating with bombs didn't work before, just a few weeks ago. Why would it work now? Taking Kharg was fraught with risks, and pretty certain to lead to casualties, which the US can't handle ... yet now it seems that it could be done relatively easily.
Trump and Hegseth are flailing. The US is being led by morons.
The best thing the Iranians could do right now would be to surrender. The problem is, they are under the influence of their religion. We remember what an exciting and vibrant plays around was back during the days of the Shaw. The Iranians must surrender immediately and have that country rejoin the rest of the world and peaceful, cool assistance, and enjoy the values of world trade.
@t.r.campbell6585NO DEALS , IRAN HAS JUST MET IT'S BITTER END !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@dougtyler5364It is impossible to have any peace deal if you do not eliminate IRGC. Mr.T , you cannot hope to make a peace deal with people has NO power. It;s time to show the MAGA power to end this chaos after 38 times of lies.
@davidfong5080wow big news
@jstidgwellای کارشناس ابله و نادان صد میلیون بشکه در ماه میشود روزی سه میلیون بشکه حدود یک سوم از ده میلیون بشکه بلاک شده در روز در تنگه هرمز میباشد.بله روزی صد و سی کشتی از تنگه هرمز عبور میکرده ولی فقط چهار تا از انها سوپر نفتکش با ظرفیت دو میلیون بشکه بوده است.
@kaveazadmard5237So grateful that we're so close to a deal. Friggin liar!
@BLACKWOLF-1911Trump is making threats, while Iran is taking action. Trumpol Stilkin needs to quit sleeping and get in the war
@soslow4109usa will get completely masacared in Iran
@gonefishing-t5tStealing people's land, assets and infrastructure. Where have we seen this before?
@BLACKWOLF-1911Trump has "dreamed" of pirating kharg island for decades. Here's a clip.
@DanielChase-p8qLol you all have to stop reporting on Trump's garbage. He just announced that he isn't going to attack anyone and a deal is very close 😂😂 DOW jumped 500 points
@MagnumusPIThis is just a flood the zone tactics to drown out Epstein bombshell coming from New York Times
@fest5887Sending troops to that island is suicide. And Iran knows this. Plus Iran will hit other oil infrastructures. That would horrible for "The world." These people are incompetent. 😔
@mdemon9445Looks like Trump is following the same failed strategy of Putin's war against Ukraine. NONE! They're just hoping the other side will get tired and give up!
The fate of the world is in the hands of a couple of senseless fools!
According to the U.S. Constitution, Congress Declares War, not the President. Last week Congress invoked the War Powers Act and ordered Trump to end U.S. military actions in against Iran. Apparently however, it appears Trump thinks he answers to warmonger Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, not the collective will of the U.S. Congress who represent the American people. So, here Americans are again, as we have been several times in the past, with Trump committing impeachable offenses. Chances are Netanyahu has things to blackmail Trump with (maybe things he got from Jeffrey Epstein, who supplied Israel with information). Whatever the case, as we all know by now, Trump always, first and foremost, looks out for Trump. Of that you can be certain. So, don't hold your breath waiting for him to follow Congress's order, unless he's forced to. Of course, Congress also has the power to remove him from office. Maybe, for many reasons, that time has come.
@jmaneyjrPresident Trump Is A Bulldozer!!!! Get Em Mr President!!!!
@WyattEarp-h5mhe's like a cornered squirrel
