@MattWalshBlog Brah, you guys have lost control over the Indian bot farms is all. That's the disconnect. Your "online patriots" are in Delhi behind keyboards.

I’ve never seen such a disconnect between the commentary on this site and what I hear in the real world. I’ve talked to dozens of normal conservatives in real life about the Iran War and I haven’t met a single one who’s actually enthusiastically in favor of it. At best they’re warily optimistic. In most cases they’re opposed. In some cases they’re not only opposed but deeply furious. And yet here if you utter a word of criticism about the war you’ll be shouted down by throngs of alleged American conservatives who allegedly have wanted nothing more than for America to go to war with Iran. It just doesn’t reflect what I see on the ground. That’s not just cope because my position is unpopular with “my side.” I’ve held plenty of unpopular positions. I really don’t care. But in this case the social media vs real world divide is stark and unlike anything I’ve seen before.

@MalcolmNance And IOF ain't deploying to Iran. Man they sold y'all a bridge in Manhattan. Enjoy the climb.

I literally briefed this morning on the strip clubs on Bragg Blvd in Fayetteville are a real indicator of troop movements ... and here we are.

@andyblueskyz @stevefc_cox @JamesMelville If he could pull out, why doesn't he?

@stevefc_cox @JamesMelville That's a rest of the world problem. USA don't use Persian Gulf oil. He could pull out and wait for them to ask for help as a coalition. A united front to end the tyranical IRGC would be a great outcome.

KAROLINE LEAVITT: “Iran has been defeated. Any violence beyond this point will be because Iran refused to understand they have already been defeated.” That’s a bit like playing chess with a pigeon. It'll just knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut about like it's won anyway.

🚨 President Trump just dropped a direct WARNING to Iran! “We are in serious discussions with a NEW, and MORE REASONABLE, regime to end our Military Operations in Iran. Great progress has been made, but if for any reason a deal is not shortly reached… and if the Hormuz Strait is not immediately ‘Open for Business,’ we will conclude our lovely ‘stay’ in Iran by blowing up and completely obliterating all of their Electric Generating Plants, Oil Wells and Kharg Island (and possibly all desalination plants!). This will be in retribution for our many soldiers, and others, that Iran has butchered and killed over the old regime’s 47 year ‘Reign of Terror.’”

@warsurv Brah, your soldier seems to be marching backwards, your planes look like they're about to launch straight into a control tower. But then I guess that's just indicative of the level of strategy y'all have exercised in this mis adventure

🇺🇸Who can stop this? A massive U.S. carrier operation with thousands of troops and jets ready to launch. Perfect coordination like a blockbuster.

@ShadowofEzra This mad man has access to nukes, they have ballistics that can reach Europe. Whether he's alive or not is no longer relevant. He is clearly threatening everyone. He is clearly stating they will pre-emptively strike whomever they want.

Benjamin Netanyahu goes fully psychotic and tells the world that he will single-handedly change the entire face of the Middle East, and that Israel will attack any country at any time. “We will surprise them instead of them surprising us.” “We are the attacking side. We are the initiating side.” “We take the initiative. We attack.”

@ISephara @PetiteEbonyGirl No actually they can't. The Regulation of Foreign Military Assistance Act, 1998 (Act No. 15 of 1998) is the key legislation that criminalizes unauthorized foreign military service . It is up to the NPA to prosecute them.

Wait, so White South Africans can go slaughter women and children while in the IDF. And then come back with ZERO consequences? Are you fucking serious?!?

@pati_marins64 The US will attempt a "special operation" to take Kharg, even if theY do succeed they won't be able to hold it long & losses will be heavy. In the end this whole war will escalate to the use of nuclear weapons against Iran. The only question is who's dropping the bomb US or Izi.

Of the roughly 50,000 U.S. troops currently stationed in the region, only between 5,000 and 7,000 could realistically be reassigned to direct ground combat. The remainder are occupied with air defense duties, logistics, aircraft maintenance, administrative tasks, and supporting the various military bases.

@ak_hiker @ian_mcclee36564 @AFpost No, they really didn't. In fact your own DNI assessment said they were not. The only country currently developing and holding illegal nuclear weapons is Israel. They are not signatories to the NPT and do not allow inspections by the IAEA.

@ian_mcclee36564 @AFpost It's not just the US. Every agency that monitors nuclear development -including the UN agrees Iran was developing illegal nuclear weapons Every nation said they opposed it US + Israel were the only 2 to do anything about it

Channel 12 reports that if the US launches a ground operation in Iran, Israeli troops will not take part in the combat. Follow: @AFpost

@TheJetNamedChet @AFpost 20s on your timeline. You clearly have no idea what's going on.

@AFpost Israel is busy conducting "ground operations" against Hezbollah. Specifically, they have approximately 15,000 troops on the ground in southern Lebanon, with four divisions actively deployed. So yeah, they are not going to deploy in Iran. They are a bit busy at the moment.

@mtmalinen @amjadt25 @ScottRCarpenter

@amjadt25 @ScottRCarpenter You must be either utterly corrupted or stupid as a fuck.

The UAE will show the world what strength is made of. The UAE will show the EU and NATO how to be brave. The UAE will make sure the Islamic regime in Iran never, ever targets us again. Never again. We lead. We protect. We win. And the Middle East moves forward without Islamist terrorists.

@business Americans freaking out over something the CBP does in the US on a daily basis is hilarious.

Beijing summoned the US’s top envoy to Hong Kong after the consulate posted an alert about new rules giving authorities power to demand passwords for smartphones or other devices in national security investigations bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@HansMahncke What utter drivel. He is trying to pull NATO and Europe into an illegal war of aggression to avoid culpability for his and Israel's war crimes.

It’s genuinely hard to understand why this is so difficult for people to grasp, other than sheer Trump derangement. Trump wasn’t invoking NATO’s legal obligations. He was testing whether European countries that the U.S. has protected for over 80 years would do the bare minimum to help secure global sea lanes, which American taxpayers have also been underwriting for decades at no cost to them. In this case, those sea lanes benefit Europe far more than the U.S. and Europe failed the test.

@RbBro42 @XH_Lee23 You clearly don't know your history.

@XH_Lee23 I don't recall the Queen's Guard shooting citizen protesters by the thousands.

🇨🇳 PEOPLE’sLiberation Army 🇬🇧 QUEEN’s Guard Who they serve determines the way they treat ordinary people.

@JessicaTarlov @robertgraham They haven't realised, that's why he likes hanging out with them.

Everyone sitting at Mar-a-Lago realizing he’s talking about them.

@willchamberlain @NerdeenKiswani Will you be condemning the genocide of the Palestinians? Will you be condemning the illegal attack on Iran by Israel and the US? Will you condemn the murder of the school children?

@NerdeenKiswani I'm happy to condemn the lunatic that plotted to assassinate you. He should rot in prison. Will you condemn Hamas and PIJ for the atrocities they committed on October 7th?

Make no mistake: when Zionists pretend to condemn the violence against me while in the same breath inspiring it through their rhetoric, they are still complicit. They are covering their tracks in creating an environment where Palestinians are routinely attacked for standing against genocide.

@ImBreckWorsham Nah, the ground invasion will be announced after it starts. It's more likely a reveal of his signature on the dollar 💵. Yes he is that narcissistic.

Tomorrow. 30 seconds after the market closes, Trump will announce a ground invasion of Iran. Bookmark this.

@ryangrim Dems don't want it to pass. They want to use the war as a platform to run on in November. They literally do not give a shit about people dieing, beyond their bodies paving a way to power.

Nancy Mace gives Dems the votes to pass the War Powers resolution. Meeks said go talk to Republicans. Prem talked to Mace, I talked to Davidson. The votes are there. If Dems don’t put it on the floor now it’s because they don’t want it to pass now.

@johnkonrad He is sending in spec ops and marines. Because he's delulu enough to think it's enough to win it. It isn't. People are going to die unnecessarily.

Trump is NOT escalating this into a major ground war. Let me spell this out with crayons. I’m a US Merchant Marine Captain, O6 (not O3) equivalent. We are a tiny forgotten service with one MF overarching specialty: moving escalatory armies overseas. It’s true a general like McChrystal has far more knowledge about what to do AFTER his tanks roll off our ships. But BEFORE those tanks roll off? They are OUR cargo. We are the specialists. We climb all around those tanks. We secure them, move them, deliver them. Our Commandant, who I talk to every single week, is in charge of that lift. Not whatever general is waiting on the pier. Right now we are in the BEFORE stage. I absolutely 💯 know more about this than any general because I have spent decades training and living the life for THIS MOMENT. When generals want to move escalatory army divisions overseas, they call us. We don’t specialize in every branch. Naval, Air Force, USMC, Special Forces movements have their own lift pipelines. We can help, but that’s not our core mission. But if you want to escalate a war with heavy ground forces? I get a call. The Air Force has already called us to move more bombs into theater. So yes, the air campaign can escalate. But there are ZERO plans to escalate this into a large scale ground invasion. ZERO. This cannot be done by airlift. The USAF can’t even get their own bombs overseas right now, let alone divisions of army units. And if I do get the call, it will be months before we are landing tanks.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So I repeat… this CAN NOT turn into a major war without my phone ringing. You can send Marines and air assault units without tanks to do raids but a major landing force like McChrystal is talking about just is not happening. Not yet. Not for months, if ever. And when it does happen I will tell you because you can’t move Army divisions in secret. Not since the Army, in a moment of idiocy, sold off its Merchant Marine preposition fleet last year.

@cositutti @IDF Yeah stats are wild. Highest civilian to military deaths ratio in any armed conflict (85% civilian), most medical staff murdered, most journalists murdered, most diapers used, most male soldiers wearing stolen lingerie. Those are high stats.

The @IDF, based on stats available, is one of the most disciplined fighting forces in the world. You won't get that narrative on the mainstream. Check the stats though and they'll leave you doubtless.
