I donāt think this headline is correct, we are not sending troops āto Iranāā¦yetā¦
"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength." ā George Orwell
How they gonna send them to Iran? What are they going to do, invade?
The sad part here is that Iran really is a bad actor, theyāre taking advantage of how much Trump is hated and mistrusted to try to play gamesā¦
And we might stumble into a full war because of both idiots, but minus our key allies.
I donāt see Iran saying come on in to American troops. Where will they be stationed? Israel? Iraq? What kind of troops? Is this the start of Trumpās first diversionary war? This is a bad bad idea. Having troops there will only make Trump more eager to show how tough he is by using them. He wonāt get hurt, of course, but iām sure these soldiers and their families will be proud to have them risk everything to act on the instructions of a narcissist willing to use anyone and anything to advance his bid for re-election. Damn him.
Are they being sent to Iraq to act as IED fodder? Somewhere else? Almost certainly the idea behind this is to get enough of them killed to start a ārealā war. Which is a heck of a position for troops to be in.
You get this kind of STUPID headline when you donāt have editors.
From our perspective perhaps. But they donāt see it that way. They are protecting their national interests. They believe that we are the bad actors and they are correct in that assessment in more ways than one. So hereās another case of the deplorable shaking their dicks at the reprehensible. In the long term, much of coastal southern Florida will be still be inundated by 2075.
The Pentagon is sending 1000 more troops to Iran? When did we invade Iran and how many troops are already there?
ETA: Story updated. Thanks. TPM.
How do we tell who is who?
Come on TPM! What kind of stupid fucking headline is that? With each new crap laden clickbait headline, youāre sinking farther into the morass of meaningless blogger sites. Are TPM subs just a scam for making money now?
Drove past the recruitment center.
No Trump punks with MAGA hats lining up to enlist.
No fathers or grandfathers with MAGA hats escorting their young to enlist.
Could it be that Trump supporters are as big of cowards as their hero?
Scream loudly but carry a sissy stick.
āPentagon Sending 1,000 More Troops To Middle East As Iran Tensions Escalateā
Yeah, well, sending in more troops. Thatās sure to calm things down.
This is what they call āmission creepā but literally without the mission, so just a form of trump creep by another name. Not sure what people are having problems with regarding the headline. Seems fairly straightforward. Iran and the trump maladministration are increasing tensions with one another. Join the club. tRump escalates tensions with just about everyone deals with. Nothing new in that respect. He pisses off our allies too btw.
Have people already forgotten he sent US troops to our southern border with Mexico? When did Mexico become a US enemy?
The military are just toy soldiers to him.
There is no human the American people will ārally aroundā less than Donald Trumpā¦so if Trump thinks that this is some desired gimmick to make āremakeā himself for the better he will be very much disappointed.
Just like before, his biggest push for re-election will be his anti-immigrant policies at our southern border. He just cut off all funding to the three Central American countries that could benefit from addressing the issues that make people want to leave those countriesā¦but in typical tRumpian short-sighted manner, or blind willfulness, he is only going to exacerbate the problem.
His idea to stoke his base with the same anti-immigrant rhetoric will be a losing proposition for him I predict this time around with the majority of Americans that are sick of all the divisive actions heās taken. One thing he canāt change is that we are all a nation of immigrants except for those that were brought here on slave ships and are indigenous to this land.
āSeveral months ago, a foreign policy expert on the international level went to advise Donald Trump. And three times [Trump] asked about the use of nuclear weapons. Three times he asked at one point if we had them why canāt we use them,ā
Trump said nations must defend themselves against threats to sovereignty. āI honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs, and traditions.ā
Weāre obviously sending troops to protect Iranās sovereign right to protect itself from US troops.
What does it say about TPM that this article (about possibly going to war with a nuclear power) takes a back seat to this all-important, world-changing news?
POTUS Riffs On Crowd
Pretty sad state of affairs here. Itās become the āNational Enquirerā of liberal-friendly outrage porn packaged as"news".
