RT Matthew Hoh (@MatthewPHoh)When I think of Marines and paratroopers being sent to take Kharq island, or some other island or bit of Iranian coast, I think of the disastrous battle for Krynky in Ukraine in 2024.Ukrainian Marines were put on the far shore of the Dnieper for propaganda purposes with no hope of any success other than their presence for the cameras in Russian controlled territory. Unable to be effectively reinforced and supplied, unable to even evacuate their dead and wounded, they were massac ...

RT Matt Bracken (@Matt_Bracken48)Will somebody please explain to me how, with the Strait of Hormuz a no-go-zone for the U.S. Navy, and our warships driven out of the Persian Gulf, we can support a USMC amphibious landing on Kharg Island, 750 miles from the eastern tip of Oman?🧵Is the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group going to storm into the Persian Gulf, where our Burke-class destroyers won't go? Obviously not. This idea is insane. How about by helo and tilt-rotor? Out of range.What if they stage in Kuwait or ...

Mr. . President, are you deploying the additional troops to the region for deterrence or to optimize your operational capabilities. >> Well, I would say this that if I told you the answer to that question, my military people wouldn't be very happy, but we have a lot of troops.We have unlimited ammunition. We have the greatest equipment in the world. And we are decimating Iran.It's about time. And frankly, it should have been done long before me. It should have been done before other president. ...

RT Rock - NAFO Raccoon (@NAFORaccoon)Ukrainians who went to the Middle East to teach how to shoot down "shaheds", were horrified by the way the US military does it - The Times- They launch up to 8 Patriot missiles at a single target- Sometimes they even use an SM-6 missile ($6 M) to shoot down 1 drone- Radars often operate without proper camouflage, essentially "shining" like beacons. In Ukraine, however, radars are constantly moved and hidden.As an example, they cite a case where just three cheap drones de ...

You said the war was militarily won in Iran. What did you mean by that. >> Oh, I think we've won, but we've knocked out their navy, their air force. We've knocked out their anti-aircraft. We've knocked out everything.We're roaming free. From a military standpoint, all they're doing is clogging up the straight, but from a milit military standpoint, they're finishing. the straight itself is uh we're doing a good job but it would be nice if the countries including China if the countries that use it China uses ...

RT Admiral Mike Franken (@FrankenforIowa)Mr President,Do not! Please!Do not put a detachment ashore in Iran.Every wargame ends badly for the invasion force, Iran’s civilians, and the world's economy. It is a quagmire without end.Call victory and leave. ...

Israel reckons this is its best chance to destroy Hizbullah. But air strikes and a limited ground offensive of Lebanon will not do that https://t.co/TGovABFP0L ...

RT Daniel Davis Deep Dive (@DanielLDavis1)Why is it so hard for US politicians to "rule anything in or out" when it comes to US troops on the ground in the Iran War?It's not that hard, folks. The answer is 100% 'no.' Look at the topographical map below and note the virtually impregnable *series* of mountain ranges along the entire Western side of the country.Note, too, the green, level terrain of Iraq to the west, and realize that when I was part of the US invasion force into Iraq in 1991 (and the US coalit ...

RT Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ (@shanaka86)An Iranian-backed militia just flew a first-person-view drone over the US Embassy in Baghdad for nearly two minutes. Low altitude. Unchallenged. The footage shows buildings, vehicles, the American flag. Geolocated to inside the Green Zone. Released publicly as a trophy.The drone was not intercepted because there was nothing left to intercept it with. A kamikaze strike days earlier destroyed the Saab Giraffe-1X radar on the embassy roof, the sensor that feeds targeting ...
