I feel so bad for the troops.

The vile child rapist and murdering slug will sit back and wait for the troops to be virtually annihilated. Then he will gleefully golf as Iran does a major attack on us soil. He will then enact the war bill (don’t know what it is called, I am not american) to stop voting.

Amid tensions?! We bombed the country…

We “epic fury-ed” it.

Yeah, and now they are being all tense about it. Like, they are kinda being uncool about us blowing apart a bunch of school girls for lulz.

Ready to jump into a 2000+ meter high mountain range?

If I understand things correctly airborn troops are specialized in mobilizing quickly whether that be literally parachuting or not is different.

What the fuck is the 82nd Airborne Paratroopers gonna find if they touch down in Iran? This orange fucking moron doesn't understand the only way to resolve this is to install somebody, to support the rebellion against Ayatollah's factions, and they're only polarizing candidates against them by bombing cities, putting boots on the ground, and allowing whatever the fuck Israel thinks its doing.

And all but 2 GOP house members are completely on board. Every GOP senator. All of them.

They are intentionally targeting left leaning activists and politicians in their homes. They don't want a stable government to take over, regardless of who it favors.

Trump doesn't, Americans do

support the rebellion against Ayatollah’s factions

They've been doing that in Iran for half a century. We have dozens of examples, America supporting a puppet faction has never turned out better for the people.

The best thing america can do for the iranian people is end all sanctions and fuck off. Their struggle isn't advanced by being under siege.

Yes, I don't think a ground invasion of Iran is highly unlikely anymore, it is just unlikely.

I think it is trending towards "likely" every hour though. There are no offramps on the horizon here in my opinion.

Here is the thing I don't think the Trump will try to occupy Iran, I just think ground troops might be used to destroy parts of it more thoroughly.
