While we don’t know whether Trump will decide to attack Iran, these are exactly the movements we’ve been expecting, but so far not seeing, in advance of a sustained operation, both defensive and offensive.

    Feckless Wonder will edge this for a year.

    Troops deployed in the holding pattern spots should buy condos and save money.

      I hope you are right but all indicators as far as I am concerned point to war, and it happening soon.

      Agreed, this US attack on Iran is not going to happen. The best guarantee of this is that Russia won’t want it to.

        I think russia would love a distraction from the embarassing mess their military has become at the frontline.

        It is all about convincing stupid americans that it is inveitable that russia will win so Ukraine can be forced into unfavorable peace conditions where territory can be handed over to russia that would take russia years and years for them to take by force if they even could.

        The less bandwidth world news has to cover how much russia is falling apart militarily, the easier it is for russia to maintain the illusion of overpowering strength.
