Ahead of every invasion they do this. Deploy troops to the area, sending up media test balloons, before they do it. A ground invasion is 100% happening, only question I have is the scale.

You can't move thousands of people and large amounts of military assets without people, especially other nations, noticing. They are probably going to try to seize the oil processing plants off the coast...as if Iran doesn't have them set to blow up already.
This war is being run by talk show hosts and reality TV stars who employ angry teenagers to do their PR for them. I feel embarrassed for my friends and those in the military who has to serve under this leadership. We have the best military in the world run by morons

I'm sorry Congress failed years ago. As did every single institution that is currently being dismantled as we speak. The military has been infested with Trump sytrocats over the last 10 years with every single person with any integrity, morals, or honor has been pushed out and mocked. And even before that it was pushed to the gills with right wing ideology with Christian nationalism thrown in for fun. The entire system is gone.
Also any JAG officer worth their salt was thrown out a long time ago. I'm allowed to have my opinions. I've had this shit forced down my throat my entire damn life. Thanks though.

Well, if we were to look for a crystal clear example (and I do mean, literal example out of the US military doctrine manuals) it would be killing the wounded from a vessel they have sunk. Which they have done multiple times now.

It's ***absolutely*** possible. They can, at any time, refuse literally any order they want to. They have free will. Every single one of the people going there had (*and still has)* that choice and is actively deciding that they are more comfortable participating in an invasion than going to prison.
We've seen the US bomb schools, killing well over a hundred children. We've seen the US and Israel bomb oil sites around Tehran resulting in poisonous and acidic black rain falling on civilians. We've seen the US president threaten to destroy Iranian power plants, which power homes, schools, and hospitals. The whole world can feel the skyrocketing oil prices.
This isn't like Iraq where everyone was all hopped up on 9/11 and the US, early on, had the rest of the developed world convinced that they were an imminent threat. Everyone sees what is happening here. It's all on video.
These people have, entirely of their own free will, chosen to participate. They **should** be judged for that decision.

Well, I mean, we're all watching the "nightmare train wreck disaster scenario" that we warned everybody about.
So, if the troops go in, it's going to be a massive escalation of the war.
If the US goes home, then there could be a massive escalation of the war.
And if they US holds position, then there could be a massive escalation of the war.
In p**** terms: Let's see how Trump plays his cards after getting called, after he bet half of his chips on his hand with out looking at his cards.
I don't know if you play p****, but what Trump is doing looks like, the same thing as when drunk people make dumb moves like the above.
I mean obviously they're thinking that when they do that, that nobody is going to call because it's a weird play, and they'll just steal the ante, but that's not how p**** works and that play only makes sense after 6 beers.

Wide__StanceMar 30, 2026

It’s not a bad analogy, but it only works if you assume the objective of the p**** player is winning the game. What if the p**** player is just a degenerate gambler who mostly cares about playing p****? What if it wasn’t about winning or losing or breaking even, but simply the act of playing?
That’s what we’ve got here: a bunch of psychopaths we collectively call “Trump” or “Israel” or whatever, whose sole objective was war with Iran. Warhawks, defense contractors, religious fanatics, people whose image of Iran (and entire fundamental system of thought) is unchanged in 45 years, the paranoid, the gullible.
It’s not that they didn’t have a plan or that there wouldn’t be consequences. Their plan worked. Flawlessly. There will be no consequences to them, personally, and probably none collectively; they haven’t faced consequences for their actions before, so why would that happen now? “War with Iran” **was the goal**. They got what they wanted (and now the moneyed class will make lots of money off it, both directly and indirectly).

RPO777Mar 30, 2026

Well part of the problem is ghe situation has radically changes. Iran was uncertain of its ability to close the strait of Hormuz. They were reportedly surprised by how easy it was and how readily they've maintained the blockade.
Now Iran wants US recognition of its "ownership" of the strait and Iranian Parkiament is moving forward legislation to charge ships $2M per ship to transit the strait, which could bring in billions of dollars that Iran will badly need to rebuild its military infrastructure after the war.
It would also be a major blow to the economies of Iran's geopolitical foes in Saudi and the gulf states amd reshape the geopolitics of the Middle East IN Iran's favor.
So the US could accept a massively strengthened Iran that dominates the Middle East geopolitically... or it could launch a ground invasion.
5
Wide__StanceMar 30, 2026
+1
But that’s my point: for Trump and Israel, there *is* no problem. The very real situation you present is win/win for them.
Their only goal of the US is “war with Iran.” They’ve already got that. A ground invasion is like bonus points to these ghouls.
And a tax on ships through the Straits? Short term it means higher oil prices. That means higher *American* oil prices. It also means record profits in shipping & logistics — not the little businesses, but the ones traded on Wall Street. The astronomical increase in insuring oil tankers is passed on to consumers, not capitalists.
That’s not to mention the profits that will be generated, both short and long term, by the usual suspects — weapons manufacturers, mercenaries calling themselves “security contractors,” anyone dealing arms to theocratic monarchies, etc — it also means investment in tech companies, data centers, the aerospace sector. It’s good for the media, lobbyists, think tanks, the consultant class (my personal conspiracy theory is that it’s the consultants who are most responsible for the degradation, at all levels from the neighborhoods to nationally, more than any other group).
Netanyahu has suggested at least twice in the last week, that I know of, that the Gulf Nations should build a new export pipeline through Israel and bypass the Straits of Hormuz entirely. Worst case scenario for Israel (realistically)? Iran becomes another failed state like Syria or Iraq. I don’t know if they’d actually be any safer, but **they** seek to think so.
So, yeah: if you assume their goals are war in the short term and profits in the long term, then they’ve already succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations. It’s really not so far-fetched. It’s not like the United Staes is afraid of losing a war or being seen as a paper tiger. I’m not being facetious about that. We’ve been at war continuously for the last eighty years and we haven’t won yet. Winning wars has never been on the agenda. Fighting wars is always at the top.
1
RPO777Mar 30, 2026
+2
I do'nt doubt this war is Netanyahu's wildest dreams come true.
But a pipeline through Israel isn't a serious suggestion and Netanyahu is fully aware of that--the Gulf States may work together with Saudi Arabia to expand the pipelines the Saudis already contructed to the Red Sea--I could see Kuwait or UAE and the Saudis working together in that way maybe. but there's little benefit to building a pipeline that runs through Israel to the Meditteranean, especially when a pipeline already exists through Saudi Arabia.
That's not even getting into the geopolitics of Gulf States voluntarily handing their eocnomic lifeline to Isreal, which they would do exactly never if they had any other alternative (much less a much financially cheaper and less geopolitically oneours one)
I'm less convinced Trump understood what he was getting himself into.
If there's one thing Trump cares about more than money, it's basking in adulation. Very few things turn conserviates against Trump, but between CPAC attendees cheering the idea of a Trump impeachment, the isolationist wing of conservatives turning on him on Fox News, and being left in a situation where he has to either double down into a strategic quagmire or essentially surrender to Iran, I have my doubt Trump understood that any of this was going to happen (even though most people who understood the complexities of going to war with Iran literlaly predicted all of this was a realistic possibility before the war started).

Pakistan and Afghanistan were always destined to be at war due to the Durand Line dispute.
The Taliban is no different from all the previous Afghan governments in that they will always see the Pashtun areas of Pakistan as rightfully theirs.
Pakistan is indeed in a tough spot:
-tensions with India to the east.
-war with the Taliban to the northwest.
-spillover from the Iran War and a resurgence of Baloch separatist activity in the southwest.

Pakistan, like it’s cricket team, has the ability to turn an impossible situation into a crushing victory lol. It punches way above its weight.
Besides India none of these problems are because of pakistan itself. If the right government does come into power (like Imran Khan’s party) they would make reconciliations with the Balochs who believe me have valid reasons for their hatred, because of our government. They would give rights of Sui natural gas reserves to the Balochs like they deserve and increase investment in Balochistan. They have been wrongfully ignored.
Sindhudesh is simply indian propaganda, there is not much basis to that idea and a Sindhi party has ruled pak for like half of its existence so it’s a moot point.
Afghanistan is a more difficult situation than India because they don’t want to believe in reason or negotiations of any kind. They claim to be muslims when muslims fighting against each other is unironically haram. They blow up mosques and markets when they don’t get their way. Unfortunately, I think a strategic buffer is the best way they can be dealt with. Pakistani has tried to play the adult with them many times but they don’t like it that way.
India is obviously the biggest problem. It’s 7x of Pakistan in every metric, 5th biggest economy and most populous country on Earth, yet we’ve managed to win many wars against them or atleast keep them off off pakistani territory in the ones we lost. In the two most recent encounters our pilots downed Indian planes both times through strategic depth and incredible mastery of the chain by the Air force.

I honestly find the Iranians to be more predictable than the Americans at this point. It seems that Iran is simply attacking the gulf to push the US to end the war and sending oil soaring for the same reason.
Iran wants a definitive end to aggression against it, meanwhile the GOP either wants a win or a temporary ceasefire to regroup and restock the military. This is why Iran will prolong the war to prevent any future attacks while trump will not back down and launch a ground invasion to save face.
This is completely a lose-lose war and it will be a very troubling defeat to the US if it does have to lose. The biggest losers are the gulf states who have their image of safety and being a tourist financial hub completely shattered.

anyone with a shred of knowledge about conflicts knows that if arab states can gain peace quickly through negations, then its best to bear the pain and finish iran once and for all, like israel tried with gaza. civilians don't win here. but states gain ideological and finacial wins here, Iranian oil and gas being out of the picture is long term win for arab states, and Iran is doing everything to justifying their entrance into the conflict.

Well I definitely agree that finishing off Iran will be great for the gulf regardless of how moral or not that would be lol, but it’s simply not practical. Iran has shown that it can basically survive anything. The US lost in Afghanistan but Iran is 4 times the territory of Afghanistan and is actually a very powerful country with a robust economy and educated people.
It’s simply not possible. I won’t be surprised if the US fails capture an inch of Mainland Iran. And no one is ready for that kind of defeat. And regarding the Gulf, I think if they were practical in any sense, they would prepare to negotiate with Iran regardless of what they think of them, as qatar has already done in a way, they have retreated from the conflict entirely.

Well what I’m saying that Iran will not collapse as a result of this war and might even emerge stronger in its position regionally. It is not wise for them to anger the Iranian regime now.
If they attack now or attack later, they will be entering a losing war and put their people, industry and investments in their countries in danger and I honestly doubt they would do that. If they really do value their country, they would try to reconcile their differences or atleast have an understanding of non aggression with Iran.
And I honestly think the Houthi situation is different. The Houthis are a few hundred kilometers from one of the major Saudi cities so it was a critical situation for them. Iran is not the same way just like Lebanon and others weren’t for Saudi Arabia.

They're engaging in economic warfare. These places make money from their resources and tourism so they're bombing both. They want to pressure Trump's middle Eastern allies to come to him with requests to end the war because Iran can see nobody else is going go be involved in Trump's quagmire.
They're playing the war much better than the US which means the US are actually considering making their biggest military blunder since Vietnam.

some thing people ignore is that arab staes patinece is not infinte, daily attacks on oil, power and airports are raising peoples voices to retaliate. if they see that there no point in seeking a peace deal, then entering the war and bearing some longer term cost is worth removing iran as a local threat once and for all, israel manged to cripple iran with 200 aircrafts, arab states have 1000+, if they eneter it would be utter devation for iranians,

The Arab states can't do anything worthwhile to Iran and Iran has several ways to escalate even further if they do. The US and Israel is 95% of the power there and Iran are quite happy to pressure the 5% to go begging to the US to end the war.
I honestly can't believe you're questioning why Iran is doing this when it's been a resounding success so far.

Accuses? You mean like when one country decides to wage war on another one?

A ground assault probably means a worldwide recession.
Trump's busy putting his ill-gotten billions in assets that will survive the recession.

This is nonsense. Iran is looking for peace because a peace deal is impossible at this point.
They’re not going to give up their missiles. They’re not going to abandon the nuclear program at this point.
And Israel wants to topple the regime and that’s never going to happen. The global economy will fall into a depression before the US imposes regime change in Iran.

Purely a tactic to keep us all in the belief that west is trying for peace, when their puppet state or the favourite field marshal will be forced to send in the troops.
At this point i am 100% sure ground invasion will start from Pakistan.

Wtf happens when Israel bombs Pakistan because it can't resist the chance of killing a number of high ranking Iranian officials?

Most likely going to see continued strikes and proxy escalation while talks stall or remain indirect.
Possibly going to see some small scale ground operations to gain leverage in negotiations.
Unlikely, but worst case is a full scale ground war. Neither side seems to want this, so I doubt it will happen but hopefully Pakistan and other countries can continue to act as mediators before we reach this point.

What do they mean "accuses?" The Trump administration has all but officially confirmed it.

Sure, other than the fact that Pakistan has both intermediate range missiles and nuclear warheads.

Hosting peace talks while they are themselves at war is a bold move.

Probably a good time to remind people of the tactics used by the Taliban during the twenty years the Coalition was in control. People want safety and security and for twenty years the Taliban waged a bombing campaign against civilians. The Taliban were willing to kill thousands of their own people.
Also note that the European country nearest to Iran is Russia. The reason there is sporadic fighting between Georgia and Russia is because Georgia was originally Iranian territory. The Georgians don't want to return to being part of Iran but they also don't want to be part of Russia.
I am just saying that if America does remove the regime it will need to provide safety and security. The other option is to remove the regime and leave.
The regime in Iran is finished but it is what happens afterwards that really matters.
