…and he is not likely to do that.

The United States military couldn’t hold and pacify Iraq.

Iran is four times the size of Iraq, with almost four times its population.

If troops had been ordered in, you would already have seen a massive physical staging of soldiers and materials.

There is no lower class in the military. Everyone has a mission.

There has been no ground forces buildup. Not enough to have any effect at least. There is no land or sea invasion on the books. If there is it will be a total failure.

What we are seeing here is bluster.

The current military engagement will be air and standoff weapons only.

10. "complete immunity"? To what? Are we back to spreading smallpox blankets? Measles, maybe?

Does F47 think he can single-handedly grant clemency to lawful combatants? Oh well, killing people gets him off, so he'll say whatever makes his dick hard for starters.

14. No, you're assuming that a Trump speech has careful wording that is meant to reflect reality
Sat Feb 28, 2026, 06:16 AM

Remember, this is Trump. He's not careful about anything. He has no desire to be close to reality.

Trying to dissect a Trump speech for clues is like listening to a howler monkey to get details on the General Theory of Relativity.
