I was one of them... at one time 2nd ranked in the world with the Battle Field 3, DMR (M416) playing close quarters combat. Feels like a lifetime ago. FPS now days sucks in comparison.
My best Bf3 memories comes from that map. I'll always remember that game the the boi's litteraly spawn camping everything that came out that american carrier in Rush (Russia Side). We had everything ready : claymore, mines on the beach, snipers, rpg's, javelins, igla's etc.. I remember that everyone had a specific job to defend that beach. I've made my best tank clips there against helo's and jets.... Ahhhh, sweet sweet memories.. ^^
Won't matter much if the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Might be good as a bargaining chip if captured. But if US conquers Kharg - Iran destroys Ras Tanura. Soooo . . . .
yeah the administration appears to be clearly releasing these plans to either A) psyop Iran into thinking an attack is coming. or B) to test public and congressional opinion on if they're down to support such a mission.
@adamsmith1813what if i told you that every taxpayer is paying for this and should have a say in how money is spent. Its a slippery slope, afghan was just spec ops at first too. I dont want to see my brothers and sisters that i served with blow up for nothing
Maybe it’s a fake out to make Iran divert resources away from a real target. I mean if a blabbermouth like Blumenthal has the intel, the administration must want it leaked.
Cappy is constantly wrong about anything relating to oil and economics. It won't have an impact on oil prices and Iran cant hit the straight any harder than they are. Let alone the fact he thinks JP Morgan is an oil source... they're the only company with an investment there and they already lost it. It's making it very clear why he got fired from the channel. He's waaaaaay to aggressive with bending the truth to scare people
Cappy is obviously suffering from TDS syndrome which makes his videos insufferable. Stupid really, because I don't give a FF about his politics. He's young & stupid. But when he mixes politics into his videos he destroys objectivity & accuracy of his analysis rendering the videos a waste of time. Sad.
Even before this video we had/have wide spread reporting of 13 DEAD, over 25 still in intensive care suffering of brain injuries loss of limb and more, and over 70 more that had to be life flighted out to Germany and the U.S. for surgeries and treatment. This guy(the constant creator) should be sponsored by Lindsey Graham.

Ex-USAF 1N3 Farsi linguist here. The Excel at 4:32 doesn't say anything about the population of the island of Kharq. This spreadsheet lists "Record codes", with the following values - Province: 1, Township: 2, Section: 3, Village: 4, City: 5, Places (?): 6, 8. Point 1: To protect the security of the information, the statistics of the places (?) that have three or fewer households have been annotated with an asterisk *. Point 2: The information for non-residential households have been included, up to the level of the township. So this spreadsheet doesn't SHOW any actual data. It simply shows how the data in the other tabs of the sheet is labeled. There's no reference to Kharq island at all. (To Cappy) I'm happy to run through any other Farsi stuff you get in the future! I miss translating.
Every EPSTINIAN base in the Mid East is destroyed. Israelistan can't enter the Gulf or dock a ship anywhere. No US aircraft fly directly over Iran out of PURE FEAR. They can't refuel rearm or resupply within 1000 km of Iran. And Iran is ready for them. Israelistan has incited a BLOOD FEUD from all its murders. No EPSTINIAN will ever leave Iran alive. Be assured if needed they will torch the Island before EPSTIENLAND gets it. These are the same people that terrified Iranians. You can also be assured hundreds of EPSTINIANS are already dead you don't destroy that many bases without dead. Iraq and Syria are both attacking cut off stranded and helpless EPSTINIAN bases. The GOLEM CHUMP has surrounded himself with Christian Zionists who are now telling the military openly this is a Holy War and God has chosen Golem Chump to lead them Armageddon and the Return of Christ is coming. And you thought Jibberin Joe was insane.
I’ve personally see an entire oil field on fire. Take it from a guy who spent two weeks in southern Iraq in 1991 breathing oil smoke from burning Kuwaiti oil fields (some days the smoke was so thick we couldn’t see past 50 feet at noon). Trying to take Kharg Island is nothing more than assaulting the worlds largest fougasse. It is nothing but suicidal lunacy. One of those really great planning ideas created by people who will never be involved in the actual execution. You know, the kind of officers who look at a map and say, “I don’t understand why that unit hasn’t reach its objective yet? Shit, they only have to move two inches on the map!”
Russia did the same incursion into the Ukrainian island but got kicked out due to relentless pounding from the nearby coast. I guess US Marines will get the same treatment.
@kungfucuddles8287 "If"? Did you say if? Obama dropped more bombs than any President had in over 50 years. Obama carried out the Neo Con agenda of the "Project for a New America" essentially as Bush 2.5, and in 8 years Obama had bombed 7 Nations: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq and Syria.
I would expect Seal UDT to frog onto the island and do suppression ops in front of any attack.. Snipers popping up out of the water and taking out shore sentry troops with silenced rifles..
Sounds like a video game until you start percolating red and your parents get a knock on the door. Trying to entice young recruits like battle is a game is twisted. To take leadership from "no plan, Pete" is a recipe for disaster. I'm so glad I'm retired. I feel sorry for anyone currently serving.
Kharg Island is the geopolitical version of that one loose Jenga block everybody sees, everybody understands, and nobody should touch unless they’re ready to explain why the whole table collapsed.
No, actually. You think Iran has just left that as an opening for a half century? They designed their country around a potential US inv... US cannot maintain cont... of the island if they take it. Also, it's not critical for Iran, which is why it's not even being defended at the moment. Oil can be redirected elsewhere for export.
Delta force about to roll up in crocs just so the government can say there were no boots on the ground. Then a Navy SEALs going to write a book about it.
Following the total destruction of the US Embassy in Baghdad, the State Dept. offers the job --- of US Ambassador to Iraq --- to "Lucky" Cappy. Cappy : "Oh what 'great' timing, I would be honored, what do I need to take with me?" State Dept. : "I dunno, maybe a tent, sleeping bag ... extra can of propane ..."
They weren't there when it was being b*.. They don't need to be. The US cannot maintain cont... over the island. It's also not critical for Iran as this video states. It can redirect oil to other areas for export.
It was cooler flying the A-10 or SU-25 on Kharg Rush, the CAS planes were OP you disabled a tank in no time with the cannon. The DLC maps were more fun though.
The thing about it is that the last, and I mean the very last place, that the regime would want to attack is Kharg Island. The oil flowing through the island is their ENTIRE economy. I think what is going on here is trying to find some leverage to get Iran to stop attacking shipping in the Strait. Up till now their oil business with China hasn't been specifically targeted. If we make it obvious that their attacks on merchant shipping are going to put Kharg on our target list maybe something can be worked out. Alternatively we just pull the trigger and outlast Iran. Without oil money they won't be able to continue to produce rockets, missiles, launchers, drones, etc. They won't even be able to provide enough food/water for their people.
I guess if you’re planning to use the threat of its invasion to pressure the regime to capitulate? But it seems like again, it would be better to control first then use it as a negotiating tool.
@ChadThundertalk That is a retarded hypothesis, frankly. Even if they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were coming there is no reasonable justification for expending munitions on your own infrastructure when this island and infrastructure are obviously meant to be used as a bargaining chip in future negotiations. They could deny it as a chip but they would invariably have to rebuild and eat that cost after the cessation of hostilities. Better to let it be a chip.
As an 11th ACR guy you probably understand better than most the operational incompetence present at every level of this war that we have public access to. This era of politicians and civilian war planners can't even fathom planning and strategizing for a Fulda Gap scenario let alone CENTAG-scale planning. OpSec probably seems silly to the people in charge.
Obviously it's about the oil. That's how you dominate the world.... Russia and China wouldn't be able to stand against America without energy. Iran and Venezuela shouldn't have tried to keep their own oil. Submit like everyone else. They didn't? Suffer. The world isn't fair. America has said, all your oil belongs to us. Comply, or else. It's that simple. Anyone who thinks that the world can operate otherwise is living in a fantasy land. If we let people run their own oil it would be World War III because everyone would have their own money. There's no way we're doing that.
@Tential1It's really short term when you put any neurons on it. People will switch up as soon as the US shows any signs of weakness, because what you suggest is that the US is a oil cartel, and just like drug cartels, power breaks up when the top goes down. None of this goes hard, you are just saying that the US is desperate to retain power
It makes sense, but then the US would be blocking Chinese ships, or at least ships headed to China. So far they've stayed out of things, but actively blocking their ships would be acting against them directly. If the island were taken, the ships simply wouldn't dock and such interactions would be avoided. So all in all I see why it would make a lot more sense to just go for it. What can Iran do? Bomb their own island? Even if they do, they still won't win back anything as it will still not be operational. Neither can they send ships because most suitable ones have been destroyed, and any remaining ones would be sunk easily. For how crazy the whole idea is, I see surprisingly few downsides. Apparently even Carter considered it back in the day.
This is going to go over very well with the Iranian population, let alone the leadership. You kill everyone in the new leaders family, and think you're just going to leave and he'll say "ok fair play" I'll open up the straight and allow you all to continue on business as usual. Absolute top notch planning here by the government. That corridor is so screwed and consider 20% of the worlds oil gone for the foreseeable future if we leave now. And if we stay, get ready for another forever war. Lastly, either way we're going to have more terrorism within our borders. There was a reason not one president struck Iran, nor fell for Netanyahu's "Iran is preparing to strike the US within months" schtick he's said since '92. Unbelievable levels of incompetence.
@getstuk87 Their oil is better in our hands than theirs at this point. If they didnt want intervention they wouldve adhere to the warnings and treated their people better, but they chose not to, they chose suicide by American might. Thats a them problem. Next time, dont eliminate tens of thousands of your citizens.
I can not imagine only Delta. My guess would be crazy overwhelming force. 82nd air assault, Marine amphibious landing and combined Ranger, Delta and Seal operations.
An island larger than Iwo Jima, which is 16 miles from Iran, with all ships having to pass through Hormuz 300 miles away? Please no. An island which is Iran's main oil hub? And if it works, then good luck to the Port of Dubai, Qatar, and many others...it was nice knowing y'all
Half the Marines will be slaughtered as they hit the beech... The rest will suffer shell shock & awe. A better idea is the Tripoli stops in Israel, grabs BiBi N. and dumps is on the Iranian shores.
From... who exactly?!? Iran gonna sneak a few speedboats across 130 miles of open water, without getting spotted by the dozens of aircraft constantly criss-crossing the area, satellites, several Navy ships and who knows how many other civilian ships that would report it? So that a few dozen Iranians could step foot on the beach and immediately get mowed down by the waiting heavy weapons and helicopters? Even if they made it the entire way without getting spotted, the troops on the island would be able to see them coming, even from the top of something as small as a 3-4 story building you can see about ten miles out into the ocean in clear weather. Night time would help a little, but it won't hide you from thermals - and there is NO concealment on the open ocean, with cold water all around they'd stick out like a bonfire in an open field.
The Island is empty you fools. Oil is already been secured. Whoever will be sent there never sees his home again. Thank god, US seem never to run out of stupid decisions.
If their deterrent against losing the island is closing the strait then it's almost certain that we'll take the island since they're clearly doing their best to close the strait already
It doesn't give us much leverage. If the strait is closed, then of what use is Kharg Island? It won't be exporting anything anyways. They haven't yet mined the strait, they're just hitting commercial vessels with marine drones. That's a conscious choice. They can stop attacking with marine drones at any time. Mining, that's a different story. Takes time to de-mine, especially since our brilliant Department of War decomissioned 4 minesweepers in September (6 months ago) which were stationed in Qatar. Strategic genius, I gotta say. The minesweepers were ostensibly replaced with littoral ships, but in this situation, it's impossible to have too much minesweeping capacity.
That island isn't a strategic asset-it's a liability. Put thousands of soldiers on it, and if Iran takes it out, those troops are dead. No evacuation, no rescue. Just cannon fodder.
also, the US could already intercept the Iranian tankers outside the Strait. But they don't because they don't want to have a showdown with China. This whole thing is a disaster.
For centuries now all wars have been started by the wealthy, powerful ‘Ruling Elite’ and fought by the easily manipulated, poor and powerless masses. America’s youth sent to invade, kill, destroy and die on foreign lands not because the foreigners were a threat to us, but because it served the moneyed-interests of the Elite. Our youth return in flag-draped coffins or as a shattered version of their former selves suffering from PTSD until they end it all, a life wasted. Neither the Elite nor their offspring will ever see the horrors of war in person. Soldiers are nothing more than a commodity to the Elite, like orange juice or pork bellies, to be exploited for power and profit. One of the greatest minds of all time shared his feelings regarding soldiers and war in the 2 quotes that follow. Reading them should give everyone pause to reflect on his words and understand the futility of war, a lesson we have failed to learn. “This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of the herd nature, the military system, which I abhor. That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism by order, senseless violence, and all the pestilent nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism…how I hate them! War seems to me a mean, contemptible thing: I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business.” ~Albert Einstein “The pioneers of a warless world are the youth who refuse military service.” ~Albert Einstein
Seals fck up wvery mission tbey go on! I would never give the seals a mission unless another unit has them as a support unit and only used as a blocking u it .
Should be the Marines by doctrine and they have the armored vehicles and numbers to land and over run the island efficiently, however they have not been built to make a resisted landing and they need to get their ships through the Straight and with in 12 miles of the island to launch the assault. The 82nd is airborne and jumping out of a plane to parachute on to the island would be dumb. I think unfortunately it’s going to be a combination of seals and rangers backed up by air assault from either the marine corps or 101st. But boat and air assault into a fortified location is very risk even with air superiority. It’s very possible we could take the island but with some pretty stiff losses for us.
@NoctusFury They have institutional corruption from the head down. Think more like a bad and corrupt police station. Everything from literally g ay hazzing of the new guys to cover up off base phyiscall crime and drugs and so much more.
They don't want to stop the flow of oil, as that hurts the world economy including the US. The US navy is letting Iranian tankers pass through without issue.
No we cant even get close to it without a thousand missiles pummeling our ships. That's before they send the drone swarms. Or the underwater drone missiles Iran has. That would be a big mistake
If they are looking to capture rather than an in-and-out raid, they are using the wrong tool. Feels like Panama where we are using the wrong tool for the mission where special operations were tasked with capturing an airfield rather than sending in rangers, whose mission profile includes such operations. Delta could be used to neutralize some high value targets to clear the way for assault forces (rangers and/or airborne).
@davidhanson8728they were tasked with destroying noreigas private plane. The other two were legit airfield, airport seizures as well as clearing the barracks.
@jeffersondaviszombie2734 Say what you will but man for man it is the most lethal conventional fighting force in the world. Highly professional and highly competent.
Remember how petty Iran was about the hostages? They released them the day after Regan was sworn in, in part just to rub it in Carter's face. They are gonna do everything they can to keep oil as expensive as possible just to rub it in Trump's face. Shaheeds for oil tankers for the next 3 yrs. Get used to it.
Escorts will come online quickly, literally every country on earth has a vested interest in reopening the straight. The U.S. should also do what they did with Russian tankers and capture any Iranian vessels leaving the straight freely as war prizes.
@kurtwagner350or, if you're any country not stupid enough to follow our lead... Try taking the Iranian offer of kicking out US and Israeli embassies and see if they actually hold to it. If they don't THEN send escorts
Seems to me the next best thing to taking Karg, would be to either: 1) take out the deep water docks, and/or 2) start seizing Iranian tankers after they head out into the Indian ocean.
can't pull the nuclear option on Kharg Island because then they do the same to the Strait. The dredged channel is only 2 miles wide, 1 mile each direction. Not hard to shut that down by laying a few mines. They haven't laid those mines yet for a reason. They're keeping their leverage.
You got to do these uploads faster bro you're late to the party a Marine Expeditionary Unit has already been activated and is being sent to Iran right now 3 hours ago
@freddiboomjr2292 Did we hear about the Maduro raid happening before it went down? No. No one expected a surgical raid to kidnap the president and then leave.
Especially if they get to roast Marines alive in the process. The videos will be an unprecedented embarrassment to the reputation of the American military. I'd almost be willing to bet that Iran is HAPPY to trade that oil in exchange for the entire world seeing the USA suffer a humiliating military loss. Iran is waiting for the marines to land before they roast them all alive. Who in their right mind marches into a giant flammable oil tank yard when you know with absolute certainty that your opponent has missiles that can reach you and knows your exact location coordinates? I can't believe there are any US Marines with IQ's low enough to do that...they will give Trump the middle finger if he orders them in there.
@nehemiaszkajrys6190 They don't care....they have work arounds.....that island has been wrecked before and it didn't stop them and why would you want any amount of troops on that small of an island that close to their shore and drones......totally pinned down there.....horrible idea.
He has the inside scoop, but boy's just a stenograph. Same with the AiTelly and Caspian Report. They are fronts for three-letter agencies for propaganda. How would they know such details? Cappy just analized the situation and came up with Kharg Island or... he was told this was gonna happen and to upload it as fast as possible?
@slip6699i know the Russians did something similar with Ukraine and after a while they had to retreat then the Ukrainians took it, and lost it form the same circumstances
@Guy15110same us and Israel have still been losing mq-9 and Hermes on daily so I’d say still don’t have superiority over the whole country which means missiles and drones, the island is mostly flat no building trying to hold it is the same a placing the ford in the straight without its strike group
@CanadaNatureVR Please note I am referencing combined arms action with air sorties to bomb and destroy arty and missile emplacements. Also Iran is more likely to try to trigger the demolition of the infra instead as a scuttle operation. Iran is not interested in wasting missiles and shells on their own infrastructure.
@sktechsolutions-b3fI agree with your last point especially because it obviates your scuttling point. Iran will not demo their own oil infrastructure. Full stop. They need it as intact as possible even if it's going to fall under enemy control for a length of time. Arguably especially so. There is no basis for believing otherwise.
America does. You clearly don't understand our operating doctrine as a country. We control the oil. Which let's us control the world. Iran has oil and didn't cut America in. Same with Venezuela. Also you do realize oil is taxed? You weirdos pretend corporations don't pay tax. I'm an investor, I see the tax bill every year my investments pay. This is a net positive operation. That's why we do it. The oil tax revenue is stupid. Any remotely intelligent person in finance knows why these wars happen. It's financially a net positive for the country....
@Tential1 The country as a federal entity may benefit, along with you leeches in the asset-owning class, but this does nothing but make the lives of working-class people worse.
Iran already said if we fuk with this islands production they will lay waste to as much of the energy infrastructure across the middle east as they can. Not the pisssing contest the u.s. wants to get in
Dude, this is not America's or Americans' objectives. Most Americans could give two shits about Iran. This is purely for that other country, aim, and objective. So they could have more dominance in that region and for them to usher in their messiah, aka the anti-Christ. This is not the 2000s; we know what is really going on.
Half the Marines will be slaughtered as they hit the beech... The rest will suffer shell shock & awe. A better idea is the Tripoli stops in Israel, grabs BiBi N. and dumps is on the Iranian shores.

It would strangle any oil/gas exports from Iran but any forces on the island would face constant bombardment.

Its happening meme
Yes it is! Well spotted.
Almost like the US budget helps fund all these games partly lol (Not that I'm complaining)
@hannibal-rb3go Makes you wonder...
@hannibal-rb3go Or like this was an important part of the Tanker Wars in the 80s and game devs do research.
Bro if the Army does an island seizure before the Marines, there will be a civil war
Over a 1000 Marines are being redeployed, to the middle east, seems like it'll be alright.
Marines: How dare you not let us get shot at? That's literally our thing. (But for real they're most likely gonna be the ones that do it)
Does the WW2 Pacific theatre ring any bells?
it would be taking things a step too far agreed

First rule of the art of war: Tell the enemy what you're going to do ahead of time
That’s why I doubt it’s happening. The main US goal is the enriched uranium. This is probs just a distraction to split Irans focus.
Maybe it’s a fake out to make Iran divert resources away from a real target. I mean if a blabbermouth like Blumenthal has the intel, the administration must want it leaked.
@JohnDoe-x2d9slol you think there’s a coherent strategy? They’re panicking. It’s going to go terribly.
Yeah because this looks like a bad idea!
@Lorenzovonmatter How so? Peak move would be to take it, occupy it, and build a permanent base there.
On the plus side: the lower ranks are probably quite familiar with the maps layout and spawnpoints
Maybe the US really is playing 4D chess! 😂
Don't mind me, just imagining IRL spawnpoints on the island with IRGC troops popping into existence
@Willard05😂
@Willard05 playing soo well the media thinks the military are playing checkers
Tbf the media never realled had brains to start with
They just bombed the island 5 mins ago
I just got notifications about it as i'm watching the video LOL

Perfectly said. Hence why the US hasn't deployed boots on ground yet

Ex-USAF 1N3 Farsi linguist here. The Excel at 4:32 doesn't say anything about the population of the island of Kharq. This spreadsheet lists "Record codes", with the following values - Province: 1, Township: 2, Section: 3, Village: 4, City: 5, Places (?): 6, 8. Point 1: To protect the security of the information, the statistics of the places (?) that have three or fewer households have been annotated with an asterisk *. Point 2: The information for non-residential households have been included, up to the level of the township.
So this spreadsheet doesn't SHOW any actual data. It simply shows how the data in the other tabs of the sheet is labeled. There's no reference to Kharq island at all.
(To Cappy) I'm happy to run through any other Farsi stuff you get in the future! I miss translating.
Bravo!

Every EPSTINIAN base in the Mid East is destroyed. Israelistan can't enter the Gulf or dock a ship anywhere. No US aircraft fly directly over Iran out of PURE FEAR. They can't refuel rearm or resupply within 1000 km of Iran. And Iran is ready for them. Israelistan has incited a BLOOD FEUD from all its murders. No EPSTINIAN will ever leave Iran alive. Be assured if needed they will torch the Island before EPSTIENLAND gets it. These are the same people that terrified Iranians. You can also be assured hundreds of EPSTINIANS are already dead you don't destroy that many bases without dead. Iraq and Syria are both attacking cut off stranded and helpless EPSTINIAN bases. The GOLEM CHUMP has surrounded himself with Christian Zionists who are now telling the military openly this is a Holy War and God has chosen Golem Chump to lead them Armageddon and the Return of Christ is coming. And you thought Jibberin Joe was insane.
Who’s here after they blew it up
Like midnight hammer?
Whos here after the announcement of 2500 Marines being sent to the area. Hardly a coincidence in my opinion.
@CrazyPalidinwho’s here after we made Iran a us state
Who's here after Islam conquered Europe
@JoshRobinson-o1i lol 😂
I’ve personally see an entire oil field on fire. Take it from a guy who spent two weeks in southern Iraq in 1991 breathing oil smoke from burning Kuwaiti oil fields (some days the smoke was so thick we couldn’t see past 50 feet at noon). Trying to take Kharg Island is nothing more than assaulting the worlds largest fougasse. It is nothing but suicidal lunacy. One of those really great planning ideas created by people who will never be involved in the actual execution. You know, the kind of officers who look at a map and say, “I don’t understand why that unit hasn’t reach its objective yet? Shit, they only have to move two inches on the map!”
Russia did the same incursion into the Ukrainian island but got kicked out due to relentless pounding from the nearby coast. I guess US Marines will get the same treatment.
Battlefield 3 was telling us something 15 years ago
Yeah, that we should have done this fifteen years ago.
@jerbart.. To Israel.
@jerbart Okay... you hypocrites would have lost your minds if Obama had done what Donnie is doing in Iran
Trump told us this back in '87, about the necessity of seizing Kharg in his book "The Art of the Deal".
@kungfucuddles8287
"If"? Did you say if? Obama dropped more bombs than any President had in over 50 years. Obama carried out the Neo Con agenda of the "Project for a New America" essentially as Bush 2.5, and in 8 years Obama had bombed 7 Nations: Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq and Syria.
Remember the one time SEALS sneaked onto a secret beach only to met by a horde of journalists and cameramen
🫣🤭😂
I would expect Seal UDT to frog onto the island and do suppression ops in front of any attack.. Snipers popping up out of the water and taking out shore sentry troops with silenced rifles..
That was Somalia.
*snuck
Counting or not counting "North Korean fishermen"
We just bombed it. Announced 4 minutes ago at 16:42 Pacific Time. Need an updated video even though this video is just 6 hours old. Thanks Cappy
Ya just saw that usa is really boming it
i'm just looking at publicly available UK metsat data, and the southwestern tip of that island is shining real bright in infrared
@ianglenn2821it a smart move just risk
“We” 😂
@ElvisAtePie American tax payers paid for it.
Sounds like a video game until you start percolating red and your parents get a knock on the door. Trying to entice young recruits like battle is a game is twisted.
To take leadership from "no plan, Pete" is a recipe for disaster. I'm so glad I'm retired. I feel sorry for anyone currently serving.
Real ones will remember fighting here in Battlefield 3
i personally preferred metro on 500% tickets lol nostalgia
best game ever
Real OGs remember F15 strike eagle
Kharg Island is the geopolitical version of that one loose Jenga block everybody sees, everybody understands, and nobody should touch unless they’re ready to explain why the whole table collapsed.
This was a great analogy.
in this conflict, there's one person who won't understand.
Not at all.
No, actually. You think Iran has just left that as an opening for a half century? They designed their country around a potential US inv... US cannot maintain cont... of the island if they take it. Also, it's not critical for Iran, which is why it's not even being defended at the moment. Oil can be redirected elsewhere for export.
@xx133 Wrong. The island handles 90% of Iranian oil exports. Take it out, and Iran dies.
Well..... that didn't take long....
Two refueling tankers out of action.
Why are we seeing the battlefield 3 campaign playout in real life
because the BF3 story is based on reality, this is not something which is unexpected if you have read enough history

I could see using the Marines or even army Rangers, but I can’t imagine using Delta and special forces for a conventional direct action mission
Marines are being pulled from Japan rn
They must want to make sure no hiccups, all eyes will be watching
Btw Kahrg island is the size of Disney, a division of marines as an anvil and delta as a hammer would work well
@juanbarreneche202umm think you got your phrase wrong
@ineedapharmacist anvil is the meat wall and the hammer is the flexible kill squad
Delta force about to roll up in crocs just so the government can say there were no boots on the ground.
Then a Navy SEALs going to write a book about it.
Comfy!
Been there done that before.

Crocs on the ground?
Following the total destruction of the US Embassy in Baghdad, the State Dept. offers the job --- of US Ambassador to Iraq --- to "Lucky" Cappy.
Cappy : "Oh what 'great' timing, I would be honored, what do I need to take with me?"
State Dept. : "I dunno, maybe a tent, sleeping bag ... extra can of propane ..."
Major combat operations just keep getting more major.
Major special military operations. Not wars.
Your profile name fits. This is just another part of the plan. If you only knew what is already happening in secret, you’d really be triggered.
Colonel Combat Operations soon?
There's a Major Major joke in here someplace...
@JohnnyUTaa lol gay
Whatever was defending it, isn't there anymore...
They weren't there when it was being b*.. They don't need to be. The US cannot maintain cont... over the island. It's also not critical for Iran as this video states. It can redirect oil to other areas for export.
@xx133 lol yeah right😂😂😂
Nor will anyone that steps foot on it.
@peterkawa9869 Gotta start paying attention man
@xx133ni it cant no tankers loading facility other tha Kharg.

Maybe: just shut off the oil pipelines going to that Iranian island.
Brilliant strategy mate, have you been playing age of empires again?

They'll use those new ultra-super-secret mech enhanced guys they grabbed Maduro with, then it technically won't be "boots".
I’m convinced, you’re the hardest working guy on RUclips!
He just makes stuff up, has he mentioned the US casualties?
Oh yes I Remember the oil wars
Yeah after taking but they still keep fighting. Every time news aligns then it means the opposite
I personally tended to run the engineer class with either an M4A1 or G36C on Kharg Island. God I miss peak BF3.
Sniping enemies with RPG never got old. Used to be able judge to height so well by the end I'd one shot the snipers in mountains. Good timess
It was cooler flying the A-10 or SU-25 on Kharg Rush, the CAS planes were OP you disabled a tank in no time with the cannon. The DLC maps were more fun though.
If you want a quick solution I could send my wife.
She can take the island, fix the middle east, Ukraine, Taiwan and Transnistria before lunchtime.
Is her name Donald?
Is that what she told you? 😂
Cappy - did Hegseth include you in the telegram chat AGAIN?!?
I think Cappy’s CIA handler added Cappy.
*Kegsbreath
Signal but yeah probs
He never left the first time
Hegseths mom forwarded the signal "not warplans" to cappy 😅
"Elite ninja slippers". This is an extremely stealable phrase.
Comfy!
Yeee battlefield 3 baby
You can always seize the tankers leaving Iran instead of putting boots on an island close to drone/missile threats
Yeah, these are 99% Chinese flagged vessels, headed for China. Can of new worms?
You missed the second point : iranian consumption. It comes from Kharg, not Ormuz.
Hey, I just said that….😂
The thing about it is that the last, and I mean the very last place, that the regime would want to attack is Kharg Island. The oil flowing through the island is their ENTIRE economy.
I think what is going on here is trying to find some leverage to get Iran to stop attacking shipping in the Strait. Up till now their oil business with China hasn't been specifically targeted. If we make it obvious that their attacks on merchant shipping are going to put Kharg on our target list maybe something can be worked out.
Alternatively we just pull the trigger and outlast Iran. Without oil money they won't be able to continue to produce rockets, missiles, launchers, drones, etc. They won't even be able to provide enough food/water for their people.
Seizing Chinese, Russian, or Indian ships would not be smart
“The real WMDs were the friends we made along the way” killed me
When did OPSEC go out with the bathwater?
I guess if you’re planning to use the threat of its invasion to pressure the regime to capitulate?
But it seems like again, it would be better to control first then use it as a negotiating tool.
A credible threat may get the IRGC to drone their own infrastructure before we have to risk a single life on the island.
@ChadThundertalk That is a retarded hypothesis, frankly. Even if they knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were coming there is no reasonable justification for expending munitions on your own infrastructure when this island and infrastructure are obviously meant to be used as a bargaining chip in future negotiations. They could deny it as a chip but they would invariably have to rebuild and eat that cost after the cessation of hostilities. Better to let it be a chip.
As an 11th ACR guy you probably understand better than most the operational incompetence present at every level of this war that we have public access to. This era of politicians and civilian war planners can't even fathom planning and strategizing for a Fulda Gap scenario let alone CENTAG-scale planning. OpSec probably seems silly to the people in charge.
If I had to guess it's a deception and the plan is to get Iran to reinforce the island and then just have B-52s bomb it back to the stone age.
No matter what the government says, it's ALWAYS about the oil.
Trump said it was about oil in Venezuela straight up
Obviously it's about the oil. That's how you dominate the world.... Russia and China wouldn't be able to stand against America without energy. Iran and Venezuela shouldn't have tried to keep their own oil. Submit like everyone else. They didn't? Suffer. The world isn't fair. America has said, all your oil belongs to us. Comply, or else. It's that simple. Anyone who thinks that the world can operate otherwise is living in a fantasy land. If we let people run their own oil it would be World War III because everyone would have their own money. There's no way we're doing that.
@Tential1It's really short term when you put any neurons on it. People will switch up as soon as the US shows any signs of weakness, because what you suggest is that the US is a oil cartel, and just like drug cartels, power breaks up when the top goes down.
None of this goes hard, you are just saying that the US is desperate to retain power
*Isreal
Nobody needs to invade the island... Just block the boats from docking.
And what, you politely ask the pipelines to stop providing oil between the island and the continent ?
Right?
WE cant even get close without getting sunk
Seriously, interdict the oil tankers. Less risky, same result, no ground forces in enemy territory.
It makes sense, but then the US would be blocking Chinese ships, or at least ships headed to China. So far they've stayed out of things, but actively blocking their ships would be acting against them directly. If the island were taken, the ships simply wouldn't dock and such interactions would be avoided. So all in all I see why it would make a lot more sense to just go for it.
What can Iran do? Bomb their own island? Even if they do, they still won't win back anything as it will still not be operational. Neither can they send ships because most suitable ones have been destroyed, and any remaining ones would be sunk easily. For how crazy the whole idea is, I see surprisingly few downsides. Apparently even Carter considered it back in the day.
The IJN once said “it would take one million men one hundred years to conquer Tarawa”. It took 18000 marines 3 days.
Oh boy....you arent going to believe this Mr cappy
This is going to go over very well with the Iranian population, let alone the leadership. You kill everyone in the new leaders family, and think you're just going to leave and he'll say "ok fair play" I'll open up the straight and allow you all to continue on business as usual.
Absolute top notch planning here by the government. That corridor is so screwed and consider 20% of the worlds oil gone for the foreseeable future if we leave now. And if we stay, get ready for another forever war. Lastly, either way we're going to have more terrorism within our borders. There was a reason not one president struck Iran, nor fell for Netanyahu's "Iran is preparing to strike the US within months" schtick he's said since '92. Unbelievable levels of incompetence.
@getstuk87 Their oil is better in our hands than theirs at this point. If they didnt want intervention they wouldve adhere to the warnings and treated their people better, but they chose not to, they chose suicide by American might. Thats a them problem. Next time, dont eliminate tens of thousands of your citizens.
@BoinkrNanis it's ironic how America is doing the same to it's own citizens, though in fairness it's in a very small scale lol
@BoinkrNanis "our hands" lol
@theethyevelyn we killed a million+ via COVID and propaganda.
I can not imagine only Delta. My guess would be crazy overwhelming force. 82nd air assault, Marine amphibious landing and combined Ranger, Delta and Seal operations.
An island larger than Iwo Jima, which is 16 miles from Iran, with all ships having to pass through Hormuz 300 miles away? Please no. An island which is Iran's main oil hub? And if it works, then good luck to the Port of Dubai, Qatar, and many others...it was nice knowing y'all
Half the Marines will be slaughtered as they hit the beech... The rest will suffer shell shock & awe. A better idea is the Tripoli stops in Israel, grabs BiBi N. and dumps is on the Iranian shores.
Cappy has insider info... they just bombed the f out of it lol
Bombed it SO hard that they are still pumping oil lmfao
US base 150 miles away from Iran are getting hit by missile and drones constantly. Stationing 16 miles from Iran would be like a suicide mission
Right after i watch this, headlines are telling me Trump bombed the crap out of the place
Why is Trump flying a bomber? Don’t they have military pilots for that?
@DogBeast221He is the best pilot. One of the greatest.
It was YUUUGGEEE
Bruh good luck garrisoning it
@hannibal-rb3go”500 shaheds”
@ryanmichael74 500 phalanax CWIS(s)
Snake Island 2.0
From... who exactly?!? Iran gonna sneak a few speedboats across 130 miles of open water, without getting spotted by the dozens of aircraft constantly criss-crossing the area, satellites, several Navy ships and who knows how many other civilian ships that would report it? So that a few dozen Iranians could step foot on the beach and immediately get mowed down by the waiting heavy weapons and helicopters?
Even if they made it the entire way without getting spotted, the troops on the island would be able to see them coming, even from the top of something as small as a 3-4 story building you can see about ten miles out into the ocean in clear weather. Night time would help a little, but it won't hide you from thermals - and there is NO concealment on the open ocean, with cold water all around they'd stick out like a bonfire in an open field.
@jerbart”five hundred shaheds”
They can’t hold on to it
Don't need to hold it...just shut it down
If anything, an attack may happen by March 18th they like to strike during a New Moon.
The Island is empty you fools. Oil is already been secured. Whoever will be sent there never sees his home again. Thank god, US seem never to run out of stupid decisions.
If their deterrent against losing the island is closing the strait then it's almost certain that we'll take the island since they're clearly doing their best to close the strait already
It doesn't give us much leverage. If the strait is closed, then of what use is Kharg Island? It won't be exporting anything anyways. They haven't yet mined the strait, they're just hitting commercial vessels with marine drones. That's a conscious choice. They can stop attacking with marine drones at any time. Mining, that's a different story. Takes time to de-mine, especially since our brilliant Department of War decomissioned 4 minesweepers in September (6 months ago) which were stationed in Qatar. Strategic genius, I gotta say. The minesweepers were ostensibly replaced with littoral ships, but in this situation, it's impossible to have too much minesweeping capacity.
@S0ulinth3machin3the world has been here before , and everyone was ok.
That island isn't a strategic asset-it's a liability. Put thousands of soldiers on it, and if Iran takes it out, those troops are dead. No evacuation, no rescue. Just cannon fodder.
@SamSu-r6v The whole region is a death-trap
also, the US could already intercept the Iranian tankers outside the Strait. But they don't because they don't want to have a showdown with China. This whole thing is a disaster.
For centuries now all wars have been started by the wealthy, powerful ‘Ruling Elite’ and fought by the easily manipulated, poor and powerless masses. America’s youth sent to invade, kill, destroy and die on foreign lands not because the foreigners were a threat to us, but because it served the moneyed-interests of the Elite. Our youth return in flag-draped coffins or as a shattered version of their former selves suffering from PTSD until they end it all, a life wasted. Neither the Elite nor their offspring will ever see the horrors of war in person. Soldiers are nothing more than a commodity to the Elite, like orange juice or pork bellies, to be exploited for power and profit. One of the greatest minds of all time shared his feelings regarding soldiers and war in the 2 quotes that follow. Reading them should give everyone pause to reflect on his words and understand the futility of war, a lesson we have failed to learn.
“This topic brings me to that worst outcrop of the herd nature, the military system, which I abhor. That a man can take pleasure in marching in formation to the strains of a band is enough to make me despise him. He has only been given his big brain by mistake; a backbone was all he needed. This plague-spot of civilization ought to be abolished with all possible speed. Heroism by order, senseless violence, and all the pestilent nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism…how I hate them! War seems to me a mean, contemptible thing: I would rather be hacked in pieces than take part in such an abominable business.” ~Albert Einstein
“The pioneers of a warless world are the youth who refuse military service.” ~Albert Einstein
“Boots on the ground” was never a phrase intended to exclude SOF. It’s only ever a reference to standard deployment of conventional forces.
Should be 82nd or 101st with Rangers or Marine expedition to do this. Not Delta/SEALs
Seals fck up wvery mission tbey go on! I would never give the seals a mission unless another unit has them as a support unit and only used as a blocking u it .
Should be the Marines by doctrine and they have the armored vehicles and numbers to land and over run the island efficiently, however they have not been built to make a resisted landing and they need to get their ships through the Straight and with in 12 miles of the island to launch the assault. The 82nd is airborne and jumping out of a plane to parachute on to the island would be dumb. I think unfortunately it’s going to be a combination of seals and rangers backed up by air assault from either the marine corps or 101st. But boat and air assault into a fortified location is very risk even with air superiority. It’s very possible we could take the island but with some pretty stiff losses for us.
@Kpete927 Seals always get the short straw, don't they, when it comes to luck or missions. Are they cursed?
@NoctusFury They have institutional corruption from the head down. Think more like a bad and corrupt police station. Everything from literally g ay hazzing of the new guys to cover up off base phyiscall crime and drugs and so much more.
Cappy, Whitehouse just announced that they wiped out Kharg island just an hour ago. 6 hours after you released this video
Wiped out the military installations. Specifically did not touch the oil infrastructure.
Cappy is about to go from average infantryman to well informed infantryman
Trump also said that he has the best economy and rebuilt the military 😂😂
@hankwest5662iran will take care of that
@dezzeefreeeman Yes. They'll make sure not to touch it. If they do, the entire region's oil production facilities get lit up too
BF3 and BF4 literally prepared us for WW3
not rly kid u wont be going there
I think Iran would need some buddies before its a WW
Bf3 did but bf4 was just woke trash.
I wonder how they will defend it this is the death mission
Whats to stop the Iranians from destroying the storage tanks if they see that its imminent that they will lose the island?
By thr time you finished writing this. We bombed the hell out of the island
@robertowens2022 We didn't bomb the oil storage tanks genius
@cunnianany schools on the island?
@dezzeefreeeman would that make you happy?
Special military operations always works so well.
This is what I picked up on - "Special Military Operation". Poor choice of words maybe.
Venezuela went just fine.
It does when you’re not a paper tiger who builds their entire reputation based on wunderwaffe and bullshit propaganda. Ask Noriega and Maduro lmao
Nice shirt Chris
Really dig the channel you guys are killing it. Yeah The Pentagon better not just rush bravo objective that never works
Saw that 3rd ID patch on that dude.. ROCK OF THE MARNE!!!!
Can't we just stop any ships loading out there? Seems to be a much softer target than assaulting the island.
Bomb ships loaded with oil? I see no problems here.
They don't want to stop the flow of oil, as that hurts the world economy including the US. The US navy is letting Iranian tankers pass through without issue.
@bluesteel8376I am not suggesting we stop the oil, we just redirect it to more favorable buyers.
No we cant even get close to it without a thousand missiles pummeling our ships. That's before they send the drone swarms. Or the underwater drone missiles Iran has. That would be a big mistake
@Spittin_Barsthe ships don't have to be close to the port. We can grab em anywhere.
If they are looking to capture rather than an in-and-out raid, they are using the wrong tool. Feels like Panama where we are using the wrong tool for the mission where special operations were tasked with capturing an airfield rather than sending in rangers, whose mission profile includes such operations. Delta could be used to neutralize some high value targets to clear the way for assault forces (rangers and/or airborne).
Umm…rio hato and trios tocumen were taken by rangers dude. 2nd bat took rio, 1st bat took trios tocumen airport….so wtf are you talking about??
@shawnthomasbrown3867 I am thinking about the SEALs hitting Patilla Airport and were under strengthen for the task and lost 4 KIA and 9 WIA.
@davidhanson8728they were tasked with destroying noreigas private plane. The other two were legit airfield, airport seizures as well as clearing the barracks.
Why would you send Delta and not the Marines? This is the Marines bread and butter.
The marines' bread and butter is being obnoxious loudmouths.
@jeffersondaviszombie2734 Yes but they also are crayon eaters with a fetish for getting shot at. So this is right up their alley
@jeffersondaviszombie2734 Say what you will but man for man it is the most lethal conventional fighting force in the world. Highly professional and highly competent.
They can just send them together lol
@DV8-p8f 😂
Even Delta won’t survive landing in a pre-zeroed fishbowl.
Remember how petty Iran was about the hostages? They released them the day after Regan was sworn in, in part just to rub it in Carter's face.
They are gonna do everything they can to keep oil as expensive as possible just to rub it in Trump's face. Shaheeds for oil tankers for the next 3 yrs. Get used to it.
Escorts will come online quickly, literally every country on earth has a vested interest in reopening the straight. The U.S. should also do what they did with Russian tankers and capture any Iranian vessels leaving the straight freely as war prizes.
@kurtwagner350 and all that will be really cheap and really easy and not risk any American lives. MAGA 4ever! Conquer the world! TRUE PATRIOTS!
@paulagraphr it’ll be cheap compared to the alternative. And the cost would be spread across our allies.
@kurtwagner350or, if you're any country not stupid enough to follow our lead... Try taking the Iranian offer of kicking out US and Israeli embassies and see if they actually hold to it. If they don't THEN send escorts
@paulagraphr Oh no! Not the embassies! Whatever will we do without antiquated offices for foreign relations?
As always "oil"
"Erl".
Seems to me the next best thing to taking Karg, would be to either: 1) take out the deep water docks, and/or 2) start seizing Iranian tankers after they head out into the Indian ocean.
Or just put a layer of mines around Kragg Island, and call it a day
What are the chances that someone in the Pentagon has thought of this?
can't pull the nuclear option on Kharg Island because then they do the same to the Strait. The dredged channel is only 2 miles wide, 1 mile each direction. Not hard to shut that down by laying a few mines. They haven't laid those mines yet for a reason. They're keeping their leverage.
The next logical step for Iran is to start taking out American leaders on their own soil, along with their families..
@S0ulinth3machin3 They haven’t laid those lines because it shuts off oil to China
What an embarrassment for the US to be so unprepared for something like this
wat do you know homs?
Such as.
Kharg island IRL! Let’s go baby!
Kharg island is the jugular of Iran’s mountain fortress. It would be the most strategic part of Iran to control.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I doubt the irgc would leave much to occupy, apart from some burning tubs of oil.
It's easily bombed from their mountain fortress. LoL, what are you talking about?
@meoff7602 okay go ahead and bomb the thing that Iran’s entire economy depends and then try to fight a drawn out war.
You got to do these uploads faster bro you're late to the party a Marine Expeditionary Unit has already been activated and is being sent to Iran right now 3 hours ago
You invaded Iraq and they had no weapons of mass destruction
sending most elite forces on an island full of oil next to a country full of missiles aimed at those forces seems like a great idea
the fact that you're hearing about means it's not happening. Use commonsense.
@Justinpierre94we heard all about Venezuela and that happened
The missiles are basically all gone lol not a concern
@freddiboomjr2292 Did we hear about the Maduro raid happening before it went down? No. No one expected a surgical raid to kidnap the president and then leave.
@cherryysakura7
ah yes basically. so ther is basically no concern and basically just some little drones basically blocking hormus?
The US is forgetting that Iran would rather blow up the entire island themselves than let it become occupied by the US
Especially if they get to roast Marines alive in the process. The videos will be an unprecedented embarrassment to the reputation of the American military. I'd almost be willing to bet that Iran is HAPPY to trade that oil in exchange for the entire world seeing the USA suffer a humiliating military loss. Iran is waiting for the marines to land before they roast them all alive. Who in their right mind marches into a giant flammable oil tank yard when you know with absolute certainty that your opponent has missiles that can reach you and knows your exact location coordinates? I can't believe there are any US Marines with IQ's low enough to do that...they will give Trump the middle finger if he orders them in there.
No, they will still want. It ain't cheap
@nehemiaszkajrys6190they don't care about money
An occupied island can be recovered in a peace settlement. Destroyed infrastructure on that scale takes years and years to rebuild.
@nehemiaszkajrys6190 They don't care....they have work arounds.....that island has been wrecked before and it didn't stop them and why would you want any amount of troops on that small of an island that close to their shore and drones......totally pinned down there.....horrible idea.
They just struck it. You've been on point with your content man. Good job!
He just said they wouldn’t bomb it in this video…. 😂
@NoctaEucta I didn't watch the video, just reading comments but only military targets were hit. not the oil related infrastructure.
@chrishayes5755 If you still believe Trump's demented posts then its truly over for you, bro.😂
@alphana7055 TDS through the roof
He has the inside scoop, but boy's just a stenograph. Same with the AiTelly and Caspian Report.
They are fronts for three-letter agencies for propaganda.
How would they know such details? Cappy just analized the situation and came up with Kharg Island or... he was told this was gonna happen and to upload it as fast as possible?
The irony of the clip of Sen Richard Blumenthal talking about any military action where he claimed to be a Vietnam vet and was never in the country.
I think the island is to close to artillery shelling
They would immediately be CAS on the artillery. They have full control of the air with surveillance.
@slip6699i know the Russians did something similar with Ukraine and after a while they had to retreat then the Ukrainians took it, and lost it form the same circumstances
@Doomclipping Russia didn't have complete air superiority
@Guy15110same us and Israel have still been losing mq-9 and Hermes on daily so I’d say still don’t have superiority over the whole country which means missiles and drones, the island is mostly flat no building trying to hold it is the same a placing the ford in the straight without its strike group
Why bother with artillery, just mine the oil tanks and detonate them when US boots hit the beach.
I'll never understand why this mission wasn't launched in time with the initial decapitation strike sorties.
The Iranians would have blitzed that Island with short range Ballistic Missiles and Artillery. There would be a couple hundred dead servicemen
@CanadaNatureVR Please note I am referencing combined arms action with air sorties to bomb and destroy arty and missile emplacements. Also Iran is more likely to try to trigger the demolition of the infra instead as a scuttle operation.
Iran is not interested in wasting missiles and shells on their own infrastructure.
@sktechsolutions-b3fI agree with your last point especially because it obviates your scuttling point. Iran will not demo their own oil infrastructure. Full stop. They need it as intact as possible even if it's going to fall under enemy control for a length of time. Arguably especially so. There is no basis for believing otherwise.
@sktechsolutions-b3fyou expect Trumps administration to understand anything beyond tic tac toe?
Looks who in charge of the military and there's your answer
So we see Delta Force in FPV videos soon?
hmmm OIL I want, gimme! I need the oil!
Sooo... No end in sight. Objectives unachievable. Who gains from this?
Oil companies, defense contractors. Billionaires

America does. You clearly don't understand our operating doctrine as a country. We control the oil. Which let's us control the world. Iran has oil and didn't cut America in. Same with Venezuela. Also you do realize oil is taxed? You weirdos pretend corporations don't pay tax. I'm an investor, I see the tax bill every year my investments pay. This is a net positive operation. That's why we do it. The oil tax revenue is stupid. Any remotely intelligent person in finance knows why these wars happen. It's financially a net positive for the country....
@Tential1 The country as a federal entity may benefit, along with you leeches in the asset-owning class, but this does nothing but make the lives of working-class people worse.
Iran already said if we fuk with this islands production they will lay waste to as much of the energy infrastructure across the middle east as they can. Not the pisssing contest the u.s. wants to get in
Dude, this is not America's or Americans' objectives. Most Americans could give two shits about Iran. This is purely for that other country, aim, and objective. So they could have more dominance in that region and for them to usher in their messiah, aka the anti-Christ. This is not the 2000s; we know what is really going on.
5000 Marines just got deployed TODAY. Delta force may be tip of spear, but Marines are going to take it.
Half the Marines will be slaughtered as they hit the beech... The rest will suffer shell shock & awe. A better idea is the Tripoli stops in Israel, grabs BiBi N. and dumps is on the Iranian shores.
@RemoWilliams1958bot keeps spamming same thing all over this 😂
@RemoWilliams1958
Just like Venezuela would be a quagmire 15000x worse than Afghanistan right?
Can they keep it?
@ManiacMayhem7256Just like Iran would be a 2nd Venezuela right?
