  1. Of course he has. Bibi wants Iran gone and the Christian nationalists want their holy war and Trump is all to willing to give it to them if they kiss his ass.

    Dude said no boots on the ground then privately tells aides he wants troops in Iran. Pick a lane and stick to it for once lol

  3. Per NBC reporting that is linked in the story:

    > The president’s comments expressing serious interest in deploying ground troops have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes, the U.S. officials, the former U.S. official and the person with knowledge of the discussions said.

  4. Yeah US troops will be welcomed as liberators just like in WW2 … said no one ever. It’s would be bloodbath and he knows it

    “Small contingent for specific missions” is how every forever war starts. That’s what they said about Vietnam too. We know how this ends .

    He campaigned on ending wars now he’s starting new ones AND talking ground troops. The grift is real honestly

    Dude is unhinged and being manipulated heavily. Just grabbing the popcorn (and my shotgun) at the moment.

  8. How else is he supposed to show his contempt for all the “losers” who voted for him?

  9. 6 troops already dead and he’s thinking about sending more. When is it gonna be enough for these people .

  10. Let’s do it. It do it now. Today. Before the midterms. The more people that hate him come Nov the better for this country.

    We may control the air and sea but I’m sure the generals have told the buffoon that we need boots on the ground. You know, to actually secure the ground.

  12. The White House denies it publicly but the leaks keep coming. Someone over there is worried and talking to press for a reason .

    What could go wrong? Any general worth their salt will tell you how quickly this terrain can be conquered… /s

    The original plan – fire lots of missiles and pray for regime change was obviously crap. He will have to send in troops to save face on this. It’s a shit show though as this will probably take weeks to organize whilst the straights of Hormuz remain blocked.

    That would be one of Trump’s most monumental fuck-ups of all time. I make the odds at one in three.

    This kind of reporting is beyond useless. He’s a lying, sundowning lunatic. It’s safe to assume he’s “shown interest” in everything.

    Serious interest with this guy could, and probably does mean hours away. Shit.

  18. There was a Treaty in place that Trump pulled the U.S. out of. Yet another self-inflicted crisis.

    [On January 16, 2016, the International Atomic Energy Agency verified that Iran has completed the necessary steps under the Iran deal that will ensure Iran’s nuclear program is and remains exclusively peaceful.](https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/node/328996)

    Here is Donald Trump saying Obama is going to attack Iran instead of negotiating because it’s the only way Obama can get elected.

    Quick air campaign, quick ground campaign and 10 years later, a president will say enough of forever wars and pull out one fine morning. More hardline terrorists will take over.
