I don’t think people realize how affordable Teslas have gotten. A new Model Y is $530/month. (72 months)

🤥🪖 Trump’s military playbook for Kharg, Hormuz: Three avenues to hell All signs point to the US gearing up to seize Iran’s Kharg and possibly islands in the Hormuz Strait. Which military scenarios are likely to occur? 🔴 US military buildup underway A ground force for an invasion of the Iranian islands may include:  ➡️ ~2,200 Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit ➡️ ~2,200 Marines from the 31st MEU ➡️ ~3,000 troops from the 82nd Airborne Division ➡️ additional forces from US Army Delta Force, SEAL TEAM-6, the 5th Special Forces Group, USAF 621st Devil Raiders, and the 75th Ranger Regiment  ➡️ in general, the US has around 50,000 troops in the region 🔴 Why Kharg? 📍Kharg hosts Iran’s main oil terminal — the nation's financial lifeline 📍A small, fixed target with defenses reportedly degraded by prior strikes  🔴 Why Hormuz Strait islands? 📍Taking the strait under control 📍Limit Iran’s ability to threaten tanker traffic  🔴 US military options 🔴Option 1: Economic chokehold via Kharg Island ➡️ Initial airstrikes to neutralize remaining military targets ➡️ Insert Marines and airborne troops via MV-22 Ospreys ➡️ Secure critical infrastructure, including the 5,922-foot runway at Kharg airport, to prevent Iranian reinforcement ➡️ Establish control of the island, freeze Iran’s oil exports, and force concessions in negotiations 🔴Option 2: Control the Strait of Hormuz ➡️ Coordinated Marine amphibious landings + heavy airpower  ➡️ Seize key islands around the strait: Qeshm, Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb  ➡️ Capture strategic coastal zones: Bandar Abbas and Jask  ➡️ Create a multi-kilometer buffer zone to protect shipping and suppress Iranian missile/drone threats  🔴Option 3: Option 1 combined with Option 2 for broader strategic impact 🔴 Why all three options are a recipe for disaster 🌏Kharg and Hormuz islands sit close to Iran and are highly exposed to missiles, drones, and fast-attack craft  🌏Seizing the islands and strategic coastal zones would incur casualties; holding them would be even costlier  🌏Air and sea resupply would face constant Iranian strikes from missiles and drones  🌏US forces could be trapped and neutralized before achieving any economic or strategic objectives
