US marines heading for Iran?
Sabby of Sabby Sabs show is outraged; and is it really 5000 marines? Colonel Laurence Wilkerson told us that even the 500,000 troops that the US could muster from all their worldly military assets (an absolute max figure unlikely to be achievable) to try to attack Iran’s 85 million poopulation would be quickly overrun; he simply said they would be killed.
But the most telling this about the story is the pulling of Scott Bessent from a LIVE tv interview - following which when he returns, he seems to be badly shaken, about to fall pieces.
Then he has a John Selwyn-Gummer hamburger moment as in the BSE scare - except he was under no prompting at all to practically offer up his son as an act of faith, adding they have the best military or some such.
Has to be seen, even the first 5m.
H/T Ed at TLN - who suggests this could be a pretext for the nuclear trigger, once the US public is outraged at the fate of the marines.
For anyone who cannot see a legitimate point of this deployment, it’s a compelling argument; even without Bessent’s stunned look and otherwise pointless remarks.
