Georgia Posse: Town Bands Together To Capture Gunman
A Georgia posse was formed by the small town residents of Rhine. The folks in Dodge County banded together quickly to capture an armed robbery suspect. In a scene reminiscent of a John Wayne movie, a small Georgia town was unwilling to let a bad guy win. The small town is known for its no-nonsense nature and strict adherence of the law.
Why does this old article appeal to me today? Because perhaps an international coalition could learn from the example, and stop the United States from murdering people.

How Trump's War In Iran Can Lead To More Nukes In The World
Now, it is not just Iran's nuclear programme that will be a threat to the US and the world. Last week, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, said the "present situation clearly proves" his country was right in its decision not to let go of its nuclear arsenal. Kim accused Washington of "state-sponsored terrorism and aggression". The fates of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and Iraq's Saddam Hussein are also lessons for North Korea and the world. Both were toppled after abandoning their nuclear programmes.
I've never understood why anyone agrees to not build nukes as long as the FSoA, Russia & China have them. I wouldn't stop until they disarm all theirs.

I don't agree, It can be trucked in from someplace up north, and I think the Iranians agreed with me about two hours ago.

Which Iran then shows the world they are ready to do. Then the US has to counter by supplying water for millions itself, and that sidelines the invasion. Trucking water for thirst would only be a few million gallons a day. It would be a logistical nightmare for the US. But not so much for Iran.
Taking out a desalination plant would not be a war crime if you stand ready to provide water for basic needs.

Targeting desalinization plants is a war crime, besides which if they hit the Iranian ones, the Iranians will hit the Saudi, Omani, Kuwaiti & UAE ones. No oil at all would flow since all the oil workers would be dying of thirst after about a week.

Is Trump About To Fall Into Iran’s Trap?
Iran is trying to lure the U.S. into a ground war, knowing prolonged involvement could force Washington into a more favorable deal for Tehran. The Houthis’ escalation is meant to trigger U.S. military intervention by endangering global oil flows. Dual chokepoint disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb could cripple up to ~45% of global oil supply, potentially sending prices toward $150–$200+ and pressuring the global economy.
About to? Well, first he still does have to actually get the Jarheads through the straight before they can even make the attempt to take the island. Meanwhile, there are hundreds of tankers loaded with Oil floating around in the Gulf. All the Iranians need to do is sink a couple, then set the oil slick on fire. This I suspect is what they mean by setting the troops on fire.
RE
I do not agree with his analysis. Iran does not want to lose Iranians just to get Americans. As strategy keeping an enemy out of your borders is a good idea. Iran has defensive weapons to keep the invasion from happening. Missiles and drones. They will use them before they kill their young men. Iran cares about life more than whoever wrote this article does. The author has a western warbucks attitude.

Trump is weighing all options on Iran's Kharg Island
President Trump says that negotiations with Iran are going well, and that Tehran "out of a sign of respect" will allow 20 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. However, he said, in comments made to reporters , "you never know with Iran. We negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up."
"Take the Oil"? How?
First off, even if the Jarheads manage to storm the cliffs without being massacred, the Iranians have no doubt already booby-trapped all the storage tanks and will blow up everything themselves before they let them take the oill there. 2nd, the amount stored there is only enough to fill a few tankers and needs to be constantly replenished from oil still underground inside Iran. 3rd, even if they could get that oil, they still couldn't ship it out until they get control of the entire north coast where the IRGC has their missiles and boat and submersible launch points.
Trumpolini's strategic thought process never got past playing Cowboys & Indians at Kindergarten recess. He has now upped the deployment to around 50,000 while still maintaining he doesn'tt plan to use them. WTF believes that? Not the Iranians, that's for sure. Meanwhile, the IRGC has around 180,000 active troops dug in on home soil. Even if all the Jarheads are Rambo & Dutch, they're not gonna mow them all down in a 2 hour movie. It would take months at best, and by the time it was over all that would be left of the infrastructure would be rubble. All the pumping facilities would need to be rebuilt, which would take years.
The stupidity on display here is breathtaking.
