This all feels like a head fake/chess by Trump. Like he knows he’s feeding info to the ones listening.
Or as the anti-Trump party would call it, poor messaging.

That’s why all these republican polls show 95%+ support for Trump
I've said since Day 1, that the left has no clue about Trump. They call the base a cult. But they never understood, Trump didn't make the base, the base made Trump. Trump came along to represent people that weren't getting representation by the RINO's.
Dims and RINO's still haven't figured it out

Pentagon readies ‘for weeks of US ground operations’ in Iran
The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, The Washington Post reported.
The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of limited ground operations in Iran, potentially including raids on Kharg Island and coastal sites near the Strait of Hormuz, according to United States officials quoted by The Washington Post newspaper.
The plans, which fall short of a full invasion, could involve raids by special operations and conventional infantry troops, the Post reported on Saturday, exposing US personnel to Iranian drones and missiles, ground fire, and improvised explosives.
Whether President Donald Trump would approve any of those plans remains uncertain, according to the report.
“It’s the job of the Pentagon to make preparations in order to give the Commander in Chief maximum optionality. It does not mean the president has made a decision,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, responding to questions over the Post report.
The Trump administration has deployed US Marines to the Middle East as the war in Iran stretches into its fifth week, and has also been planning to send thousands of soldiers from the army’s 82nd Airborne to the region.
On Saturday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said about 3,500 additional soldiers arrived in the Middle East on board the USS Tripoli.
The sailors and marines are with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and arrived in the region on March 27, along with “transport and strike fighter aircraft, as well as amphibious assault and tactical assets”, according to CENTCOM.
Officials speaking to The Washington Post said discussions within the administration over the past month have touched upon the possible seizure of Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub in the Gulf, and raids into other coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz to find and destroy weapons that can target commercial and military shipping.
According to the report, one person said the objectives under consideration would probably take “weeks, not months” to complete, while another put the potential timeline at “a couple of months”.
The Pentagon had not responded on Saturday to the Post’s requests for comment. Iran has yet to respond to the report.
The report comes as Pakistan, which shares a 900km-long (559-mile) border with Iran, mediates between Washington ?and Tehran, hosting two days of talks starting on Sunday with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Egypt.
Iranian threats
The Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said on Sunday the “enemy openly sends messages of negotiation and dialogue and secretly plans a ground attack”.
“Unaware that our men are waiting for the arrival of American soldiers on the ground to set fire to them and punish their regional partners forever. Our firing continues. Our missiles are in place,” the Tasnim news agency reported, quoting Ghalibaf.
“Our determination and faith have increased. We are aware of the enemy’s weaknesses, and we clearly see the effects of fear and terror in the enemy’s army.”
It was not clear whether Ghalibaf was responding to the Post report.
On Wednesday, Ghalibaf had warned that intelligence reports suggested that “Iran’s enemies” ?were planning to occupy an Iranian island with support ?from an unnamed country in the region.
He said any such attempt would be met with targeted attacks on the “vital infrastructure” of the regional country – which he did not name – that assists in the operation.
Tasnim quoted an unnamed military source as saying on Wednesday that Iran could open a new front at the mouth of the Red Sea if military action takes place on “Iranian islands or anywhere else in our lands”.
The source told Tasnim that Iran can pose a “credible threat” in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, ?which lies between Yemen and Djibouti.
Tasnim later quoted an “informed source” claiming that Yemen’s Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, are prepared to play a role “if there is a need to control the Bab al-Mandeb Strait to further punish the enemy”.

Do you think the generals all thought that Iran wasnt going to strike back and the USA wasnt going to sustain any damage?
Yikes. America is baby soft.

Most of those bases were evacuated before the strikes because they knew they would get hit. They are in range of short range missiles and those missiles and drones can travel from Iran to those bases in seconds
In war both sides fight and both sides lose people and equipment. The goal is to try to destroy more of the other sides than they destroy of yours. When you land planes in Bahrain, Saudi, and Kuwait you know they are in range and there is a high risk to equipment or personnel, but you hope for the best because you need assets there to do the most possible damage to the enemy in the shortest time and to best respond to the risks the enemy presents.
There is an inherent cost to war unfortunately.

RINOs figured it out. They just prematurely assumed the demise of Trump's political career. Which is why you saw things like Cassidy's impeachment vote.

I agree with his assessment. Cheap drones are the game changer and we will lose hundreds of young men each week in gruesome fashion. This is the stupidest idea since at least Vietnam.

Iran is going to come out of this stronger and in complete control of the straights and they will charge a tax of 10%.
This is going to destroy the value of the dollar and show the world how ineffective our military is. We can't even make Iran do what we want.

Think that’s what I mean?
We’ve been observing the war in Ukraine for four years and watching Russia lose aircraft on the apron being hit by cheap Ukrainian drones.
We should’ve taken at least some precautions to obscure where our aircraft are or have active defenses present.
Every single military expert is echoing that same sentiment. There’s nothing soft about what I’m saying. Our military is operating idiotically.

In my opinion, the US ground troops should be injected on the outskirts of Tehran and should help the people rise and take the capital. That would orphan the fighters who are blocking the strait. We don't need to slog through those booby, trapped mountains.
