Ground troops it is

Points
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “Iran is being decimated” as the U.S. and Israel target its ballistic missile and nuclear programs from the air.
But meaningful regime change will require a “ground component,” Netanyahu said, adding that the Iranian people must ultimately “rise to the moment.”
President Donald Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, said earlier that he would not send U.S. troops to the Middle East.

[hatrack]

1. Yeah, Bibi, let's you and him fight . . .

Asshole.

[durablend]

12. Let's drop him, Trump, Pete and Fetterman over there

[Walleye]

27. Love that expression, it's been on my mind every time

[liberalhistorian]

33. Let this racist war criminal

genocidal motherfucker send his own soldiers to the ground of he's so determined to obliterate everything!!

[leftstreet]

2. So send your troops, Bibi n/t

[Deuxcents]

3. If Bibi asks, TSF will put boots on the ground.

[Walleye]

28. He will talk to Putin and make sure he approves her

[multigraincracker]

4. Just send in your IDF.

[2naSalit]

5. Yeah, you go do that...

With YOUR army.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. Lemme guess.

That’s where the USA comes in.

[2naSalit]

7. Send your people and...

While you're at it, find another funding source because we're about to cut you off.

[City Lights]

8. March on in, Bibi!

Have at it, bro!

[RT Atlanta]

9. Then call all the Israeli nationals and those with dual citizenship home to come & fight

this abomination is disgusting... why is the USA doing the bidding of israel?

How compromised (rhetorical question) are the republican leaders in our country right now?

[Whip-poor-will]

10. Two war criminals went to Iran

Or maybe you could just stop your war criminality and pay reparations .

11. Netanyahu requires a "ground component" 🪦 And by the way, DRAFT ICE.

• They are already "trained" (in random violence against civilians. Checks one box)

• Bonespur "victims" have already been weeded out.

• They are already government employees and must go where assigned. (saves TONS of paperwork)

• They already have weapons, and unspent budget money.
• They already have swell masks to protect from radioactive dust that bombing reactors creates.

• They (probably) already have military haircuts, and (this is big)
• Their kill to loss ratio is infinite.

Danes agree!

[Walleye]

31. And they already have a burning hatred

[Rebl2]

13. Netanyahu

Send your own troops

[Sogo]

14. Well, Bibi, have at it. Your troops have a lot of experience with that by now....

Leave our boys the ef alone!

[newdeal2]

15. Who will be around to do Trump's summer parades?

We know he doesn’t like looking at injured vets.

[electric_blue68]

16. Oh, FU Bibi; take yoyr own army in, then

[Rob H.]

17. Fine. Go get 'em, Bibi nt

[OC375]

18. Duh?!

That's how it works. Little late in the game to acknowledge it.

[hlthe2b]

19. Then get your corrupt, fat a..s, over there. And maybe your IDF (if you can spare them from

murdering civilians in Gaza for a few weeks. ) And may YOU, Bibi meet the TRUE REALITY of war on the ground as soon as you land.

Honestly, is he determined to lose any and all good will Americans have had since its creation for Israel? One would certainly wonder, just as I wonder if Trump is determined to take all of US down WITH HIM.

[Bayard]

20. My thought as well

He would have plenty of ground troops if they weren't still waging war on Palestinians. But he's like trump--why spend your own capital when you can get someone else to use their's?

[Deminpenn]

21. Bibi is fighting a 3 front war

Gaza, Lebanon and now Iran. Of course he wants, and needs, US soldiers in Iran. Otherwise he can't sustain operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

But, if Bibi wants to send troops, by all means, have at it.

[SunImp]

22. Send EVERYONE who's been calling for the IRGCs destruction

This is their war

[roamer65]

23. Send the IDF.

[Rob H.]

25. They'd have to face people other than women and children

so they'd probably shit themselves to death as soon as their boots hit the ground.

[roamer65]

38. Truth has been spoken.

[harumph]

24. Send the entire staff of AIPAC.

Seriously, man up boys!

[mike_c]

26. well, if Bibi orders it...

...we'll have no choice but to comply. USA! USA!

[BeyondGeography]

29. Whatever you say, boss. -Donald J. Trump

[Wounded Bear]

30. Iranian people are "rising to the moment" all right...against Israel and us...

[clevergrrrl]

32. There are a shit ton of social media influencers in Tel Aviv and Dubai

that ain't doing nothing, recruit their lazy asses

[maxsolomon]

34. He's saying there should be an uprising:

..."meaningful regime change will require a “ground component,” Netanyahu said, adding that the Iranian people must ultimately “rise to the moment.”

The Basij and IRG are ready to suppress any uprising - 30K dead this year is a stark example of what awaits any revolt.

[Jacson6]

35. Yeah, Well send your g-d darn troops to invade it. Not American Soldiers.

IMHO.

[DFW]

36. Iraq was an unforeseen (by Rumsfeld) ground disaster

It had less than half of Iran’s square mileage, less than half the population, and flatter terrain. Even Trump must have been told by now that a land invasion of Iran would be as good as DOA, with a lot of the ”D” part being our troops coming home in body bags. Netanyahu can read a map. He knows Iran is not the Sainai. He can’t do it, period, and Trump probably wishes he had a ”reset” icon to click on.

[sakabatou]

37. Why don't you get on the front lines yourself, Bibi?
