Starting this war on Iran was the biggest mistake of Trump’s political career. It will destroy his Presidency and the careers of his underlings. Vance is already thinking about not running for President in 2028, and wisely so, if I might add. Joe Kent has jumped ship, and I’d bet he won’t be the last bigwig to do so.
But an airborne operation on Kharg could turn the trickle of rats out of the sinking USS MAGA into a deluge.
Not only would it be a catastrophic defeat, but it would yield hundreds, if not thousands, of dead American soldiers and prisoners.
Unlike casualties caused by Iranian drone and missile strikes, the admin won’t be able to cover these up, and Iran will no doubt make no bones about showing the mangled corpses of hundreds of American soldiers to the world.
Considering the already high unpopularity of the war, combined with public resentment towards Zionism, Israel, and Jewish power as a whole in the wake of the Epstein affair, this event could pour Chlorine Trifluoride on an already raging bonfire.
