Mr Trump Can't Shut This War Down........

Sorry, I just can't buy into the concept of Trump and Hegseth being clever, by saying one thing to fool the Enemy, while they plan a secret and decisive strategy.

Me neither.

If Trump and Hegseth had even half a brain they would have realised that the first thing Iran would would be to close the Strait of Hormuz. They certainly aren't the brightest pebbles on the beach. I think they may be in Iran.

The trouble is, the Regime, depleted though it now is, is made up of fanatics, but not fools.

The Day of Deception? 1944

Allira surely you know some history? Wars are won through serious deception.

2nd world war- we spent loads of time and effort getting troops to Calais …. when the landing was??

I don't understand your point, sorry 🤔

1944 Normandy

Two days ago Trump said he wasn't going to send troops into Iran, Now we hear he is planning to do so.

He's so erratic that it hardly seems worth worrying about until he does it.

It’s say one thing and do the opposite strategy.

It’s not, it’s have no strategy, get in a huge mess and kneejerk, whilst blaming everybody else.

We're never sure what he's saying either - and neither is he.

He is not a veteran, has no clue about military matters and Casdon sums it up well. It's frightening that he has so much power.

"U.S. lifts sanctions on millions of barrels of Iranian oil" Headline in today's Washington Post.

So Trump is now helping to fund Iran's war as well as Russia's. You honestly couldn't make it up!

A good summary of Trump's 'strategy' Casdon.

I don’t think Donny has thought through his latest plan ( troops on the ground) through 🤷‍♀️ Are the Saudis going to let him land their troop carriers? thereby necessitating crossing the Persian Gulf where they would be sitting ducks.
If, big if they were able to cross the Gulf they will be in hell. The Zagros mountains. This geographic feature defeated Iraq for 8 years.
Back to the drawing board Donny.

It’s not winding down. Stop believing a word anyone says…. It’s still a war. Truth doesn’t help win the battle.

Other countries will be joining the UK to help open the Strait of Hormuz. It is necessary as although we aren't too affected by oil we can't manage without food.
Thanks to Trump and Netanyahu we are forced into this position.

The Pentagon is looking to put American troops on the ground in Iran as of now.

So more US lives lost for nothing. How is this winding down?

And now it seems that Starmer has done another U-turn and said US aircraft may operate from UK bases. So much for not supporting an illegal war. Looks like we are being dragged into this war that belongs to ...... Who?

The Pentagon has said that there was no imminent danger from Iran now or in the foreseeable future yet Trump and Israel chose to go to war for no credible reason.
Trump is a draft dodging coward who is calling those who acted correctly in the circumstances cowards.

Iran

So, if Trump stops now who is going to continue the war?

Israel?

In which case, he may have known all along how things could have played out with the Strait.
And it has come to the worst case scenario[not at all unexpected], so he will leave things to others now.
