The judge also immediately stayed his order so that Trump has time to appear to the 9th circuit and the Supreme Court

OK, so the problem with this is if he doesn't use the NG, which is close, there are no restrictions on using straight up Federal Troops... and if you want close, convenient, and no requirement for a deployment, that means more Marines from Camp Pendleton. They might want to think that through. Too bad 7th Inf Div (L) wasn't still in Fort Ord. Darn BRAC.

On the other hand, what the Governor cannot do is "deputize" federal military forces in any capacity.

I don't think disruption of oil exporting capacity will entirely stop Shiite madness....but stopping food shipments will turn the entire population against Khameini. Like most of the sandpile, Iran has to import a LOT of its food. Think of it as a faster cleaner way to win with less loss of American/Israeli lives. And maybe its past due for Gaza as well?

It is a tactic as old as city sieges.

This was Israel’s first step. Use their human intelligence to kill key people before attacking static infrastructure.

This is going to be a protracted war. Iran is unprepared for what is coming.

Remember the exploding pager operation?

These new Israeli and Iran hostilities have a potential to get out of control fast. Just read that this early morning Iranian jets have started to take off and ballistic missiles launched. Oil is up 12%

Israel has finally been let off the chain. This will be similar to how they dealt with Hamas.

Iran is screwed. They have nothing in the arsenal compared to Israel. Intelligence or weapons

Add Carter, the MSM during Carter and for certain BHO.

Iranian nuke scientists thought they were safe in underground bunkers

Add Carter, the MSM during Carter and for certain BHO.

Carter was actually at the tail end of the U.S. mistakes with Iran. He was in office when policies from the 50s then the 70s Came home to roost.

Nixon opening up weapons sales and the Shah building up the military and neglecting infrastructure and social programs led to the revolution in the late 70s. Which is what Carter inherited.

The article above is from a left wing organization. At the heart of Critical Race Theory. But it doesn’t make it untrue.

You can bet on Israel hitting Iranian oil production in the coming days or weeks. after the Iranian missiles are dealt with.

China is by far the number one buyer of Iranian oil.

I wonder if Israel will take out Iran's main oil transfer facility on Kharg Islamd.
