President Trump has apparently settled on a plan to try to use thousands of US Marines to take control of multiple Iranian islands in what will ultimately be a failed and futile attempt to re-establish control of the Persian Gulf and likely result in thousands of US military casualties. But it won't just be a military debacle like Gallipoli. It will likely result in multiple US warships including the USS Tripoli being sent to the bottom of the Persian Gulf from Iran's hundreds if not thousands of anti-ship missiles including hypersonic missiles. If so, it would prove the most humiliating US naval defeat since Pearl Harbor. America First conservative champion and war hero @joekent16jan19's decision to resign as Director of the Counterterrorism Center, which was announced earlier this morning, is likely a response to Trump's decision to move forward with these amphibious assaults.

Clearly, the Trump team intends to deploy troops to the shores of Iran for "sea control" mission sets. And, Mearsheimer is right: it will be like Gallipoli.

The Israelis relied on more than financial inducements to transform Trump into a vehicle for their malign agenda They also preyed on his greatest psychological vulnerability: his fear of assassination Netanyahu even claimed to possess intel proving that Iran was responsible for the Butler, PA plot to convince Trump to bomb its nuclear facilities
Chris Hedges@ChrisLynnHedges

.@MaxBlumenthal and I discuss how Zionist actors in the U.S. and Israel waged a psychological warfare campaign that targeted Trump to drive him into war with Iran. To do so, Blumenthal says, they exploited a deep feeling of paranoia in Trump — and convinced him that the Iranians sought to assassinate him. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=XQGnWJ…

There is a high probability that the F-35 that Iran claimed to have downed, indeed has crashed in Saudi Arabia and did not reach the base as reported earlier. There appears to be an active search party over eastern Al Jubayl region:

Joe Kent reveals the Israelis forced Trump to go to war on Iran the day after Iran made us a sweeping offer to permanently suspend their nuclear program, get rid of all their Highly Enriched Uranium and allow for unfettered inspections because they were afraid Trump might take the deal!

Trump shared this post by Jeffrey Aachss in which he called Netanyahu "a deep dark son of a bitch." That was likely right around the time Netanyahu blackmailed Trump into striking Iran in June 2025 or else he would release the unredacted Epstein Files. Since then, Trump has transformed from a courageous America First peace president into an Israel First/America Last Deep State forever war president.

Reminder… 2025 President Trump shared a clip stating Netanyahu “is a deep dark son of a bitch who’s gotten us into endless wars”

Joe Kent says he refused to be a part of the Trump administration because his conscience would not allow him to lie to the American people about another war. He says the United States has absolutely no vital interest in a war against Iran. "I will not, in good conscience, send young men and women off to die on foreign battlefields."

Today, Iran conducted air and missile strikes 350 meters from Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactor. Were they to strike their reactor and cause it to meltdown it could lead to the radiation poisoning of tens of thousands of Iranian civilians. Iran conducted a similar missile strike near Israel's nuclear reactor at Dimora during the Twelve Day War though likely not nearly as close. Iran could respond to such an Israeli strike by a hypersonic missile strike on Israel's nuclear reactor to cause a nuclear radiation incident against Israeli civilians. Or Iran could escalate directly to the nuclear level and we could see mushroom clouds over Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem and maybe a pre-emptive nuclear decapitation missile strike from an Iranian cargo ship on Washington, DC. If Israel lost the equivalent of their nuclear football might they lose launch control of their nuclear arsenal as well as the US preventing a nuclear retaliatory strike agaisnt Iran for days if not longer?
Patricia Marins@pati_marins64

The Israeli Strike Near Iran’s Reactor is an Ominous Signal The US and Israel find themselves cornered with dwindling options and growing desperation. This is evident in their attacks on Iran’s electrical grid and their calculated attempt to shift the Overton Window toward the nuclear threshold. The statement by Trump advisor David Sacks, suggesting Israel could escalate the conflict with nuclear options, coincides with a missile strike landing just 350 meters from the Bushehr reactor. This isn’t just a warning; it’s a veiled threat. It’s a trial balloon designed to gauge the global reaction to such a catastrophic possibility. A direct hit on an Iranian reactor would inevitably force Iran to retaliate against Dimona, leading us into a spiral of nuclear escalation, but what if Dimona be empty? As global opinion is being tested, this "window" is being meticulously shifted and calibrated. Currently, US-Israeli options, beyond aerial bombardment, include sector-specific ground operations. But what if these operations end in disaster? Even a NATO intervention might change nothing. In Libya, European NATO forces depleted their ammunition in about 10 days during a low-intensity conflict. Today, Rheinmetall claims European stockpiles are bone-dry. While I usually take Rheinmetall’s claims with a grain of salt, this time it actually makes sense. We are looking at a scenario of severe ammunition shortages against a heavily entrenched and well-armed Iran. Any landing operation would be a bloodbath. I believe that, faced with mounting internal and external failures, the US and Israel will gradually push the Overton Window to a choice between total defeat or the use of tactical nuclear weapons, in the event of a catastrophic failure of ground operations. Tactical nuclear weapons are strictly forbidden for use, yet their radiation dissipates within weeks in the current environment. Even so, it would constitute a grave war crime. I do not believe the U.S. would embark on such a path, but I cannot say the same for Israel. Ending the war with Iran still possessing enriched uranium would be equivalent to admitting that Netanyahu, instead of increasing his people's security, did the exact opposite. The internal pressure would be immense. If nothing goes as planned and the death toll rises, I feel this window can shift much faster.

Twenty-three years ago today, President George W. Bush sent thousands of US troops to their deaths to fight a war to transform Iraq from a pro-Christian secular state fighting a war against Iranian terror to an Iranian proxy Islamist Shiite republic and terrorist haven. The war had tremendous popular support when it first started but ended up becoming a quagmire and served to weaken the US military and greatly empower Iran. Five years later, Donald Trump declared Bush's forever war in the Middle East to be the worst mistake in US history and attacked Speaker Nancy Pelosi for failing to impeach him. The war led to Democrats taking over both Houses of Congress in 2006. By the time he left office, Bush's approval rating had tanked to the 20's. Fast forward to today, President Trump has now started a forever war in the Middle East likely to be far more costly in terms of US lives than was the war on Iraq as Iran has the capability to destroy all US critical infrastructure with a massive cyber or super-EMP attack. By his own account starting a forever war in the Middle East is an impeachable offense. Just like Bush's war in Iraq, Trump's war in Iran was started by a president entirely ignorant of history, strategy and geography in the belief the war would be won in weeks, not one that would drag on for years. However, popular support for Trump's war is thirty percentage points lower than Bush's War in Iraq as Trump made no effort to propagandize the American people that there was a justification to go to war with Iran, knowing that there wasn't any. Just like Bush's war, Trump is waging a war for Israel that is serving to greatly imperial US economic and national security that will cause the Republicans to lose control of both Houses of Congress this year and when he leaves office his approval ratings may be even lower than Bush's.
Rep. Jim McGovern@RepMcGovern

23 years ago tonight, in an Oval Office address, George W. Bush announced the start of the Iraq War. 4,492 American service members were killed in the years that followed. 32,292 were wounded. At least 200,000 Iraqi civilians died. The humanitarian impact was immense. America wasted 9 years and 3 trillion dollars on a war that never should have happened—a war predicated on a lie, pushed by warmongering neocon politicians, and paid for by everyday people. Imagine what that $3 trillion could have bought here at home. Imagine the decade we could have spent focusing on America, our people, our place in the world. Imagine the lives our service members, stolen from us, would have lived. But instead, the president took us to war. Yet another costly quagmire in the Middle East. I voted against the Iraq War. I knew the White House would lie to Members of Congress and voters alike to manufacture the pretext for a conflict—and they did. Now, Iran is shaping up to be Iraq 2.0—new lies, new bloodthirsty politicians, still paid for by American families. Yesterday, we learned that Trump wants another $200 billion for his war. That's after Congress already gave the Pentagon more money than it even asked for in the budget. Enough is enough. It is not too late to learn from the past. Stop this madness. Bring our troops home. End this war.

I think this may be what happens. We lose thousands of US Marines dead and wounded as Trump sacrifices them in a botched amphibious assault of Kharg Island. Then, Trump doubles down by massing US troops on Iran's western borders for a full-scale invasion. That would transform the Iran War into Trump's Vietnam War, and he would get tens of thousands of our brave US military servicemembers killed in an unjust war of aggression fought for Greater Israel. Then, he could possibly be impeached and removed from office with the help of 14 Senate Republicans and Vance could be sworn in as President with a mandate to pull US troops out of Iran and end the war.
Clint Russell@LibertyLockPod

The Israeli plan is to draw US troops into the war by waiting for us to clear the Strait of Hormuz. We would lose hundreds of Marines. Possibly thousands. Then they will have Trump pot committed. It's all so predictable.

Vice President JD Vance is reportedly undecided about running for President next year because Trump's unwinnable, forever war on Iran is making the GOP brand toxic right now. He sees that Trump's war is helping to ensure that whomever the 2024 GOP presidential nominee is, they will likely end up losing to the Democrat presidential nominee by a wide margin. He may calculate that if he lets Rubio be the 2028 presidential loser that goes down in flames, then he may figure he can run against a Democrat president in 2032 at a time when Democrats may be less popular. If he didn't run, it would be extremely sad because a Rubio presidential nomination will cause down ballot Republicans will go down to defeat as the war becomes increasingly unpopular and Republicans are blamed for being the Forever War Party.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Iran war is already shaping 2028 Vance hasn't decided whether to run in 2028, telling close associates his fourth child coming this summer and family life take priority. But the people around him are already gaming out how this war defines the next Republican primary. If the conflict drags on for months, whoever seeks the GOP nomination will have to answer for it. Vance built his political identity on opposing forever wars. Now he's the vice president of an administration running one. Every week Operation Epic Fury continues, the distance between his brand and his record grows wider. Source: WaPo

BOMBSHELL! Netanyahu just casually admitted on live TV that there will be a GROUND INVASION of Iran. The air strikes were just the beginning of a massive, devastating regional war.

Iran, a country that spends a fraction of the US war budget on its military, has been able to hold the US Navy at bay as the USS Abraham Lincoln has withdrawn 1,000 kilometers from Iran. The US Navy is unable to break Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and Trump has no clue how to extricate the US from the quagmire he has created. Trump's unwinnable forever war on Iran is already proving humiliating for the US, increasing the cost of living for working Americans, hurting our allies and weakening our global power and prestige. It's also benefiting and enriching Russia and China as CIA Director John Ratcliffe admitted in Congressional testimony yesterday. Trump's war is emboldening America's enemies to challenge the US elsewhere throughout the world.
Dan Collins@DanCollins2011

Iran’s military budget is $7 Billion About 0.88% of U.S military spending. Pentagon asking for $200 Billion on top of the $1 trillion to fight Iran.

Netanyahu lies and says he didn't force the US to fight the war against Iraq but then adds the US will soon invade Iran the same day that President Donald Trump announces there will be no ground troops whatsoever sent to invade Iran. So if the US ends up sending troops to invade Iranian territory, we will know for certain that Trump is Netanyahu's weak, cowering and obedient little poodle because if you ask me it looks like Netanyahu just vetoed the statement by the President of the United States. How dare an Israeli PM tell the President to send thousands of Americans to fight and die for Greater Israel, rather than the country they signed up to preserve, protect and defend! No other nation could get away with killing or wounding 200 sailors and trying to sink a US Navy ship and ordering the President around like he was the leader of a vassal state. Of course, we will never hear a peep from Trump or the 99 percent of Congressional Republicans that are in bed with Israel. They will do exactly as their Israeli paymasters tell them to do because the US ceased to be a free and independent country decades ago. As America First conservative hero and three time GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan stated three decades ago, the White House and the US Congress are Israeli-occupied territory.
Cenk Uygur@cenkuygur

Here we go. Once Netanyahu has ordered in ground troops, then it's a guarantee. American politicians are not allowed to disagree. Watch. You'll see Trump will follow his orders like a dog. Then they'll pretend landing troops on Iranian islands doesn't count. Propaganda incoming.
