    As of late March 2026, the U.S. is strengthening its military presence in the Middle East with the deployment of the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit, expected to arrive in the region in approximately three weeks, around mid-April. This follows the deployment of the USS Tripoli group as part of a broader buildup amid ongoing 2026 conflicts.


    When the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit arrives, Trump will launch a ground invasion and then announce negotiations are over and that Iran negotiated in bad faith, even though Iran never formally engaged. Trump is using negotiations as a PR ruse, while troops are deploying into theater. MSM is acting like the troop deployments are not making an invasion more likely than not. All retired military officials are going on record that the entire Trump Iran War is a complete sh*t show from the start and will only get worse.

    All the while, Americans do not know what are our objectives are and what our exit criteria will be.

    Trump is waging his war, while ignoring all expert advice and leaning into his all-knowing gut. Trump's all-knowing gut was surprised that Iran did not immediately capitulate, fought back hitting US ME bases, attacked GCC neighbors who support the US (via bribes in some cases) and closed the Straits of Hormuz (stopping the flow of 20% of the world oil supply).

    Adding troops on the ground to his Trump Iran War, Trump will guarantee more troop deaths and little to no change to Iran's determination to continue.

    What's next? Escalation. Trump will continue to send more and more troops. Perhaps a draft will be needed.

    Trump knew enough in his youth to avoid the Vietnam War, without learning any of the lessons of why that war was a bad idea. Trump is repeating all of those mistakes since he is a profoundly ignorant man who is also not smart.

    1) Speculation is not admission either.

    2) All the presidents I mentioned had their ways of making it look legal. No one has lost in court for this stuff. No one will. There’s a good reason Congress won’t tighten the loophole.

    3) No one, including Trump, just took money into their account. Burden of proof is on us if we want to say it’s otherwise

    We’re just applying different standards to someone who did it more brazenly.

    I can’t unknow what I know so the idea I’ll believe it’s just Trump is not realistic. I have no left/right dog in the fight so for me I honestly wouldn’t care either way but again I know what I know. I done seen some sh*t.

    But he's even more successful!

    Degrading the military while wasting and losing key command and tactical resources.
    Enriching Russia.
    Ceding power to China.
    Destroying decades worth of diplomatic currency.
    Excelling at war crimes.
    Empowering Iran.
    Ending free passage through the Strait.
    Dow down 10% and falling.
    FBI Director hacked.
    President bored.

    17,000 troops on the way, another 10,000 gearing up.

    For reference, we had 150,000 take part in the initial invasion of Iraq, so taking Tehran is not happening with the current numbers. It most likely means take and hold a small area or two, which also makes our troops sitting ducks.

    1) I misunderstood you. There are fact findings and records, which are admissible. Of course, rumors and speculation aren't.
    2) Clinton as POTUS didn't have a foundation. Obama didn't either. Bush, maybe, I don't recall. Biden had one, but shut it down when he ran.
    3) You don't to take money directly into your acct to benefit. But, Trump's coin is essentially direct.

    US governors have been prosecuted, convicted and jailed for less. No POTUS has, not because they were all clean, but none were quite this expose (except Nixon, but he was pardoned). Trump is that brazen, but while in office he's immune and the only relief is Congress, which won't act. He was convicted as a citizen, but can't be sentenced after he won. There will be investigations not just into him, but those surrounding him (market manipulations as well) once he's a citizen again.

    But Trump is the greatest mind ever! He could probably do this with 500 troops, but he's bringing extra just to shut up the libtards.

    He does like those "quick win". Addict sometime can't help themselves. Iran, of course is a completely different animal, and you would hope he already realized that.
