Suspicious passenger plane movements out of Tehran are raising serious questions.
Five passenger planes departed from Mehrabad Airport today.
The regime claims they were empty and being relocated to the east, but reports suggest they may have been used to evacuate officials out of the country.
Another possibility, given Israeli and U.S. control of the airspace, is that any authorized flights could involve military or IRGC defections.

The IRGC is breaking!
Reports are now circulating that many members of the IRGC are fleeing to Afghanistan.
There are reports of factions within the IRGC who are now splitting and turning their guns on each other.
This week, small ambushes against Besij forces have surfaced, one shared on Iranian State Media.
A-10's and Apache Attack Helicopters are now taking out IRGC vessels in the Straight of Hormuz.
Besij forces are being reported by locals and targeted by airstrikes.
The time is coming for a drastic turn of events on the ground.
It is true, this regime change can not happen without boots on the ground. With about 4,000 US Marines en-route to CENTCOM, people are asking if they will be the boots.
No my friends. The boots are already on the ground, and they do not have an American citizenship, nor an Israeli. The fall of the regime will come from within.

Many Democrats have expressed as such since hostilities began:
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA): Explicitly labeled the Iranian regime a "brutal and murderous dictatorship" but argued this did not give the President authority to initiate a "war of choice" without Congressional approval.
There’s always a “but OMB” with you guys. Despicable.

Trust me, the GOP didn't need DJT to take them down. They did it to themselves
If anything, the GOP rode DJT's coattails - most unwillingly

The senate and house GOP lost the midterms already.

If anyone knows who or what are on those flights....it is Israeli intelligence
Hell, they probably stamped the manifests

If the GOP would pass the SAVE Act and other pro-American bills and approve Trump’s judges then they could share in the winning, but apparently they would rather lose and be the minority party.

Is the other side of the same coin....as compromised and corrupt as their counterparts when push comes to shove
If it weren't for the initial flurry of EOs, nothing would have been realized
I assume DJT and his inner circle did a lot of planning in that 4 year absence

Same thing happened in Libya, don't fight an insurgency, become the insurgency.

Can you imagine having to flee INTO Afghanistan

I agree it's going to be a blood bath and the next two years Trump and party will be in investigations. Lame duck

I think it will be a huge mistake to put ground troops in iran... I hope I am wrong.

Are we really going to release sanctions and let the Iranians sell all that oil sitting around in tankers?

Like I said a week or two ago, we will not be deploying infantry to fight like we did in Iraq. The only boots on the ground will be special ops types of actions. We will be the ones sniping them... not the other way around.

How bout let Israel do the sniping with their own ground troops

His argument isn't based on what the Pentagon is saying. It's based on how everyone else is behaving.
VDH's rule: Europeans never agree to go anywhere near a conflict unless they think the winning side has already been determined. They didn't help in the early days. Now they're starting to move. That movement is not idealism. It's a calculation. They've looked at the battlefield and decided which way this ends.
The Saudis, the Emiratis, the Qataris — these governments have survived for generations by reading the regional climate with precision. When they expel Iranian military attachés, when they intercept Iranian missiles over their own capitals and say nothing about American strikes, when the UAE reaffirms its $1.4 trillion investment commitment to the United States mid-war — they are not making ideological statements. They are placing bets. And they are betting on the United States.
This is the one that should stop you cold. Al Jazeera — the Qatari state media network, historically critical of American military action, the network Tucker Carlson and the anti-war right love to cite against Israel — is now calling the U.S. bombing campaign brilliant and effective, and saying it has been underestimated. When the media outlet of a nation that hosts both the largest American air base in the Middle East and a Hamas political office starts praising American military effectiveness, the message is unmistakable:
A-10 Warthogs and Apache helicopter gunships are now flying strike missions in Iranian airspace at will. VDH's point: you only deploy those aircraft when there is effectively no air defense left to threaten them. They are slow, low-flying, close-support platforms. Their presence confirms what the Pentagon has been claiming — Iran has no meaningful air defense remaining.
Iran's strategy now is rope-a-dope. Run out the clock. Wait for American public opinion to shift. Hope the midterms create political pressure on Trump to stop. It is the only play they have left.
VDH's conclusion: if Trump sees it through — and he believes he will — the regime falls. Not in years..

I am interested in seeing how that works out. iran has a population of around 90 million. approximately 3x larger than afghanistan during that war, 3x iraq during that war, and over 2x all of vietnam(both north and south) during that war.
