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.
