We continue to oppose Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice. And any effort by Republicans to put boots on the ground in the Middle East.

"[In the Civil War, we had] over 700K casualties in a nation of 24M people!" "'No boots on the ground,' they tell us—ever! You might as well retire the Marines and the Army! What do you think our enemies hear when they hear, 'No boots on the ground?' We motivate them!" Mark Levin, lobbying for Trump to restart the Iran war before the Israel Lobby front group CUFI, evokes the hundreds of thousands of Americans who died in the Civil War and suggests the US needs "boots on the ground" to win the Iran War. (Levin has repeatedly scolded Americans for their unwillingness to "sacrifice" to win the Iran War.)

"It is becoming quite clear that #Trump's improv war on #Iran will not succeed without boots on the ground. Surrogates forces won't take the war to Tehran, they can just create chaos. And I cannot foresee how Trump can put 100,000s of boots on the ground in Iran. There is no majority in MAGA, no majority in the GOP, no majority in the American public."

There are 50,000 troops in the Middle East and the president is leaning towards putting their boots on the ground. Their deployment would not fix his unforced error of granting Iran sea denial in the Strait of Hormuz. Rather than ending the war, a ground invasion would begin a new, open-ended, and costly chapter of it.

Geezus- the UK’s Keir Starmer is pledging to send boots on the ground into a war they will never win and possibly start World War lll. “The UK is ready to put boots on the ground and planes in the air……the UK is all in.” 🤦‍♂️ It will be like sending lambs to the slaughter. This war is what the New World Order wants and have planned all along. Wonder how British citizens feel about sending their young men and women into a war. 🤔

Yesterday's massive Ukrainian attack on the ports of Russia's Novorossiysk, as well as the destruction of 90% of their country's grain exports, burning of 4 ships of their Black Sea Fleet and the ongoing blockade of both the Azov Sea and Black Sea seems to have alerted Russians to the fact that war was much more fun when it was all about the risk-free genocide of a peaceful neighboring nation.

It's a strawman to say that skeptics of Iranians abiding by the MOU want a massive ground operation. President Trump has threatened to seize Kharg Island (that would be boots of the ground) and there are MEUs ready for the kinds of missions to seize key islands. And we DID have boots on the ground to rescue the downed airmen. What I want is to achieve the President's goals.

Tanks are finished as a weapon of war. The resurrection of Hezbollah is a massive surprise, not least to Israel. The IDF is a poorly trained conscript army with massive discipline issues, and it can't fight ground wars. Israeli bomb shelters are failing under attack from the large liquid fueled, heavy ballistic missiles that Iran is now using. Israel is running on empty and could be overrun.
