Is America really ready to fight a major war?

68% of US troops are overweight, including 21% who are obese ... why are we trying to get involved in World War 3 again? (They may be fat and out of shape, but hey, at least they're woke)

not as many going to be 'fighting' in caves or trenches ...you think about a fighting force that is infantry and marching 20 miles in a day ... look at the "troops" in Afghanistan ...did they have more than 30,000 fighting troops such as infantry on the front line out of a military of about 2 million active duty ?

Hamas is in negotiations to pay Greta to start backing Israel instead of Gaza.

If BLM, Antifa, University Radicals (Students AND Professors), The Left, Accomplishment-free Influencer Bitchute Bloviators, Iranian, Syrian, Russian Media, PMSNBC, most of the OpEds in NYT and WaPo, and now Greta on your side...

Maybe, just maybe, you're wrong.

BTW, notice the near total absence of activity from Fatah on the West Bank. It's almost as if they wouldn't mind either outcome, Hamas gone or Israeli defeat is equally beneficial to them.

But don't expect the great Wise Bitchuters to point that out, if they've thought about that for one second - their MintPress News/Globalresearch.ca sources didn't put that in their heads.

yeah, i was wondering if mahmoud abbas was going to be a political liability to hamas, iran, and terrorist network by him not doing anything...

abbas sitting on his hands is not good for the optics as far as rallying their terrorist cause ...

they could try to assassinate abbas and pin this on israel ...

The West Bank and Gaza are like Pakistan and Bangladesh now.

Secretary Austin outlined three major steps to strengthen the U.S. military’s position in the Middle East.

Redirecting Naval Assets:
The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group has been redirected to the Central Command area of responsibility. This move is in addition to the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which is currently operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The presence of two carrier strike groups significantly enhances the U.S. Navy’s capabilities in the region.

Deployment of Missile Defense Systems:
A Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery, along with additional Patriot battalions, will be deployed to various locations throughout the Middle East. These systems will provide increased protection for U.S. forces stationed in the region.

Prepare to Deploy Orders:
An unspecified number of U.S. forces have been placed under “prepare to deploy” orders. This move is part of prudent contingency planning and aims to increase the readiness and responsiveness of these forces.

Patrick says

The presence of two carrier strike groups significantly enhances the U.S. Navy’s capabilities in the region.

To do fucking what?
.
Not much in the PG. Iran is seizing oil tankers will nilly and we won't take out Karg Island.

Oh...and the carrier groups are in the Med anyway.

And what navy are wr going to attack there? The Gaza Coast Guard?

Enforce the blockade on the Gaza coast?

They have been like that for years, probably several decades.

yes, a vast majority are US Marines .... not sure why they would want US boots-on-the-ground instead of just launching air strikes from the carrier such on Hezbollah and Iranian forces invading from southern Syria and southern Lebanon

You don't use carriers for that.

Yeah, the F-18's and F-35's (STOVL version) deployed from the carriers and assault ships can deliver precision-guided bombs. So they provide air support to the ground forces. They are a mobile air strip and air base.

Tucker Carlson and Colonel Douglas Macgregor Warn of Potential Conflict With Iran; Are We Ready?

Iran's allies? Russia and China. War with Iran would enflame the entire region that could easily lead to World War III.

Macgregor: "We are moving towards war with Iran."

komputodo says

Excellent reminder. Remember too that if you're not near a desk, and you see a flash, duck and hide. And don't forget to cover your head. I feel better already.

Posting a second time, because it's that good:

It's not good, it's Overblown Propaganda:

"Lied about Pearl Harbor" - Uh, Vals from multiple IJN Carriers didn't descend on Pearl Harbor and dive bomb ships at anchor?

Remember that Japan attacked US Shipping in China, disturbed our trade with China which was a big destination for US Exports, and started serveral wars of aggression with China. And the Japanese thirst for the food production and resources of the Philippenes was noted for years.

The First Iraq War didn't involve Saddam invading Kuwait and raiding into Saudi Arabia and launching missiles at neutral countries?

"Keep US Troops in Syria" - Really? What line regular formations were involved in the Syrian Civil War?

"Lied about the Luisitania" - What? The US has freedom of the seas. The Kaiser paid Clan na Gael to put bombs on US Ships and poison US Horse herds when we were neutral. We're going to sell corn and beans to France and Britain and if Germany tries to stop it with force, that's an act of war.

It's just another kind of 1690 to erase US Heroism, righteous response to foreign aggression, and Military Valor.

WE PROVOKED HIM!!!

AmericanKulak says

"Keep US Troops in Syria" - Really? What line regular formations were involved in the Syrian Civil War?

The butthurt stems from the episode when some Green Beret types called an arty/air strike on a bunch of Vaginer troops who decided to attack a Kurdish ouptost where they were stationed and wasted some 300 of these fuckers. The screeching hasn't stopped since. =))

I hate to say this, AmericanKulak, but I think you've been primed to accept all the war narratives that the American Government, which has loved war for well over 100 years, is telling you.

It's the very same government that is encouraging you to take a dangerous experimental 'vaccine,' which is turning out to be flat out genocide.

AmericanKulak says

"Lied about Pearl Harbor" - Uh, Vals from multiple IJN Carriers didn't descend on Pearl Harbor and dive bomb ships at anchor?

They lied for over 70 years that BOTH the diplomatic AND military Japanese codes were broken. Our wonderful government knew, in advance, that the attack was coming. Literally, the carrier attack force was being tracked, and Pearl was never notified that they were steaming towards them.

And you didn't even mention the intentional provocation of US government blocking oil deliveries, and a number of other actions basically begging Japan to start a war with them.

AmericanKulak says

"Lied about the Luisitania"

The lie about the Lusitania is that the Germans took out ads in American newspapers warning passengers that ships that were known to be carrying armaments would be considered an act of war against them. The fact is, passengers of the Lusitania were never informed that it was carrying armaments. The American media, the spokesmen for the warmongers in Washington, hid that fact from the American people while playing up the atrocity of the sinking.

War is hell, and it's the civilians that usually end up paying the highest price because they are the innocents of war.

"Truth is always the first casualty of war."

No, I know 1619 demoralization bullshit when I see it.

The Japanese bombed Pearl Habor after years of declining relations; and they were lying to State Department negotiators knowing they were going to attack the US for months before December 1941 to buy time. Then Hitler declared war on us.

The Kaiser paid saboteurs to put bombs on US Shipping, blow up a Nitrate storage facility at Black Tom, paid Mexican bandits to raid over the US border, and sank our neutral ships that have a right to sell donkeys and grain to whomever we damned feel like as a sovereign state with Freedom of the Seas.

We have to take a 2-3% GDP wallop because the Kaiser doesn't want us selling to our top 3 trade partners because HE is at war with them? Fuck outta here.

Saddam invaded Kuwait. We never gave "permission". Saddam mentioned he might take action to prevent side-drilling and asked if we had a problem with that. It was misunderstood that he was meant to side drill back into Kuwait or knock out a few rigs to teach Kuwait a lesson, not invade the whole country.

No 82nd Airborne or 24th Mech Inf was ever sent to Syria. Trump cleaned up ISIS in weeks by simply allowing A-10s to BRRRRRt the fuck out of ISIS tanker trucks going into Turkey.

The Gulf of Tonkin was fog of war shit, but it's also true that the Soviets were dumping a shitload of weapons into North Vietnam. You know, this thing called a Cold War where the two sides reacted to each other out whenever one made a move.

"America was built on slavery... and all our wars were evil where we were the aggressor" are the TWO prongs of the demoralization process.

AmericanKulak says

Then Hitler declared war on us.

Which is the dombest thing Hitler did. Because a) he wasn't obligated to do so under the Axis pact because Japan attacked America and b) Congress only declared war on Japan.

This is how wars start ...

Iran-Backed Militants Strike US And Coalition Base As Blinken Threatens ‘Decisive’ Response

Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged to respond rapidly to strikes from Iran-backed militias in defense of U.S. troops as reports emerged of yet another strike on an Iraqi base where American troops are stationed Tuesday.

Since Thursday, militias receiving funding and encouragement from Iran have launched rockets and one-way attack drones at bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria after a months-long lull. Speaking to the United Nations Security Council, Blinken echoed the Pentagon’s earlier warnings that Iranian proxy militias would seek to escalate attacks in the near future targeting American military personnel, trying to draw the U.S. into a war mushrooming across the region.

“The U.S. does not seek conflict with Iran. We do not want this war to widen. BUT, if Iran or its proxies attack U.S. personnel anywhere, make no mistake: We will defend our people, we will defend our security, swiftly and decisively,” Blinken said.

Actually, the dumbest thing Hitler did was invade the USSR. That is who really defeated the German Army.

This did happen, whether anyone read it or not is another matter.

Hmm, it wasn't an airplane launched American JDAM with its obvious signatory whistling sound and huge explosions, unlike the trivial Gaza homemade rockets? I'll be gaslighted and gobsmacked.

It ran in one newspaper.

And the reason it didn't run was cowardly Wilson, who refused to act when US Marshalls gave him PROOF of the Kaiser's sabotage, including the testimony of an Irish-born chief groom of a huge stable in NJ who was told to poison the horses by Irish Nationalists paid by the Kaiser, but refused and went to the authorities, preferred to ignore it and asked his fellow Ivy League Fucks running the papers not to run the ad.

However, who the fuck is another state to tell the US when and where we can't run our shipping in international waters? Fuck the Kaiser, he's not the King of the USA. That Hohenzollern needs to mind his own business!

And what exactly kind of pizzas would those be? Obama pizzas, Clinton pizzas, Bush pizzas, or Podesta pizzas? How about a side order of rent boys?

Iran-Backed Militants Strike US And Coalition Base As Blinken Threatens ‘Decisive’ Response

The Biden administration has pressed Israel to delay its imminent invasion of Gaza to allow for the release of more hostages held by Hamas and for aid to reach Gaza, according to two sources briefed on the discussions.

The release of two Americans held by Hamas Friday signaled that more of roughly 200 people believed to be kidnapped by the militant group may be freed after they were taken during the group’s deadly attacks launched against Israel two week ago.

“The [administration] pressed Israeli leadership to delay because of progress on the hostage front,” and the need to get trucks of aid into Gaza, one person familiar with the discussions said.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/22/politics/us-israel-ground-incursion-delay/index.html

By the way, not the first time Israel has cancelled or delayed action because of a US request. They did so in Lebanon many times. That's loyalty - to delay or stop revenge against the murder of your own citizens because your Ally asked you to.

And as we've been over 1000 times on this forum, the $3-4B/year is about 3-4% of the Israeli Government Budget (not GDP), so Israel isn't going to disappear tomorrow without it as Bitchute Boyz and Cozy Catamites like Fuentes think.

Apparently the delay is also to allow the US military to get missile defense systems installed to protect US troops in the Region.
