When they invaded Iraq they had like 100K troops. Not even close to that now against a much stronger foe. What are they thinking?

Oh. I hadn’t realised where the news came from…

When the US invaded Iraq, it involved 160,000 troops. It went very well, at first.

It’s crazy that people aren’t protesting that the president is likely a pedophile. Like… y’all need to take to the streets every day until you don’t have a pedophile as your leader.
When they send a 4th Aircraft Carrier, you can forget that the leader of your nation is a pedophile.

Maybe we shouldn’t have elected the “you’re fired” cheesy reality TV guy because he made epic lulz during the debates. No wall that Mexico paid for, no swamp drained, nothing to replace the ACA because it’s too complicated, higher prices on everything, yes boots on the ground, more forever wars, hmmmm 🤔

This is a major commitment of our forces that are now leaving other areas exposed. Trump is about to get thousands of US kids killed.

There a a long history of governments that have fallen because leaders got them into unpopular wars without public or other branches of government support.

Is it just me or does it feel like the goal is to get the United States military completely bogged down in Iran by mid-summer?

Billions of dollars spent at a potential cost of thousands of lives. All to distract because the pedo in chief effed children.

So we can’t stop Iran from firing their missiles at their neighboring countries, so how the hell are we going to be able to stop them from firing on our troops we deploy into their country?
Responsible-Rip8793 on
How much does all of this cost? Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump sends all of them there to scare Iran and do a little market manip on the side.
How much money is sending all these troops and carriers over there costing?

Just in case you didn’t know, the U.S. has a total of 11 aircraft carriers while China is second with just 3 (though they are building a bunch right now). So there is probably the equivalent of 1/3rd of China’s navy in the Middle East right now, but definitely not anything to worry about.

Isn’t one carrier out of action – the Gerald Ford, and the other one (the John Abrams) in hiding 1000km away after a few drones were lobbed at it?

They raised the enlistment age to 42. That means Ben Shapiro will be joining to fight the good fight right? Nah, his rhetoric is meant for others. Him and his kind have never been in a fight, and that is how he can be so blasé about bloodshed.

Iran has been training to fight US air carriers for 50 years. They exposed the problems with the flagship of the naval fleet, and US strategy is to double down and do more of it?
Aircraft carriers are mounted cavalry of the 21st century. They’re expensive, they project an image of strength, the old guard military leadership loves them, and they are still useful for crushing peasant revolts. But like armored knights when faced with a barrage of cheap projectiles, aircraft carriers are also vulnerable to a barrage of cheap projectiles.
You don’t have to sink an aircraft carrier to take it out of the fight. You just need to make it not function as an airport. When that happens your air assets becomes vulnerabilities. Now you have a whole bunch of fancy expensive jets that you can’t easily move somewhere safe. Airfields normally have multiple runways. If one gets bombed, you can still maneuver planes out of harms way. The best defense planes have isn’t armor, its speed and maneuverability. Those are taken out of the equation when the plane is parked. A carrier has one way on, and one way off the flight deck. Even if they can successfully intercept drones and missiles, some are still going to get through, and the ones that do get hit don’t magically vaporize. They fall out of the sky, in big heavy pieces that break things and clog up the flight deck with Foreign Object Debris, or FOD.

tl;dr raining projectiles and metallic garbage onto airport boat cancels flights
