US Ground Troops to Attack Iran?

Just a note on the alleged US intent to invade Iran with ground troops.

Of the possibilities for staging:

United Arab Emirates

The UAE has been impacted by a strike on al Ruwais refinery, one of the largest refineries in the region. Likewise bin Zayed’s al Dhafra airbase has been struck multiple times by Iran’s miliary, highlighting the vulnerability of US American troops been hosted and staged there. As such it seems unlikely that the United States will attempt to stage expeditionary troops there for a proposed invasion and occupation of Iran.

Kuwait via Israel/Jordan and Saudi Arabia 

A source has suggested that US troop movements via Israel/Jordan through Northern Saudi into Kuwait (for staging) is a possibility. The foregoing seems unlikely since that distance of about 1400km for expeditionary troops to travel will obviate the element of ‘surprise’, ie a surprise attack and invasion of Iran will likely fail.

Kuwait is easily targeted by Iran where damage to the US embassy and US bases in Kuwait have already been struck by Iran, and the Kuwaiti government has distanced itself from acceptance of an US Expeditionary Force.

Qatar and Oman
Both Qatar and Oman have expressed some outrage at their treatment by both the US and Israel. For Qatar, shutting of the Qatar Energy Ras Laffan plant is nothing less than a disaster. Likewise,  al Udeid airbase in Qatar has suffered multiple strikes, with no sign of such strikes abating. Even though tangentially reported in the west, internally the situation for Qatar is quite serious. As such, Qatar’s Emir is appraising its political alignment with the US, and certainly will not host a US Expeditionary force for a coming ground invasion of Iran.

Oman, which has long presented itself as being neutral in affairs of the region, has kept a low profile with regard to US/Israeli influence, and certainly will not host a US Expeditionary Force for the staging of an amphibious assault and invasion of Iran.

Iraq-Iran Kurd autonomous region (KRG)
Disgruntled for decades regarding their failure at self-determination, the Kurd autonomous government might accede to US/Israeli demands to host and participate with US forces in an invasion of Iran. Potentially Kurds may see this moment as being significant, to finally establish a truly independent Kurdish state.

However an independent Kurd state is anathema to powerful Turkey, and Iranian Kurds are well aware of the risks involved in cooperating with US troops in a proposed invasion of Iran. The logistical element is challenging too, where US troops must be transported via Turkey or Syria to the Iraqi Kurd region, thus losing the element of surprise.

Azerbaijan
Logically the most expedient approach for an US Expeditionary Force to invade Iran is via the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan features a fairly weak government, owes tribute and favour to the west, and is generally corruptible. Even so, the alleged Iranian attack on the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan has been apprised by the Azeri government as potentially an Israeli ‘false flag’ attack. And Azerbaijan has expressed no desire to become embroiled in what will likely become World War 3.

Tajikistan
Although Tajikistan has cooperated with the US military in the past, as in the case of Azerbaijan above, evidently Tajikistan has no desire to become embroiled in what may soon become World War 3.

Gulf of Oman
All of the above scenarios are nuanced. Based on the US American penchant for the direct approach, the most direct approach would be to mount an amphibious landing assault via the Gulf of Oman, via the more level shores well southeast of Tal, Iran. To mount an invasion here may not be the suicide mission that most media outlets portray it to be.

Based upon US military reports and other Intelligence reports that this author has seen, a claim exists that the shoreline region southeast of Tal, Iran, is only lightly defended, and could provide a beach head to the west. Yet the territory to the west of Tal is far more precipitous and difficult, and is very well defended.

Noun: brinksmanship (definition).

The art or practice of pursuing a dangerous policy to the limits of safety before stopping, especially in politics.
“in any game of brinkmanship, it is possible that one side will collapse suddenly”

US planners learned much from Iraqi brinkmanship after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait (August 2, 1990) where the Iraqi leadership’s sole mistake was to fail to retreat from Kuwait during a narrow window of opportunity available to it. Missing that window of opportunity led to the US invasion, and reprisal versus Iraq thereafter. Since then, Israeli and US planners hoped to play the brinkmanship card with Iran for decades, believing that Iran’s political structure would quickly collapse at the brink. Only now has the Neocon hoped-for US/Israeli brinkmanship plan been implemented, and is catastrophically failing for the empire.

[As an aside, please reject the notion that Donald Trump was entrapped by Israel and blackmailed by Israel. Trump is solely responsible for an all-out war with Iran. Powers far more potent than Trump have been planning this attack on Iran for many decades. The collapse of Syria to an al Qaeda sympathetic failed state, was one key element that US/Israeli planners depended on, prior to attacking Iran.  Perhaps an embarrassment to speak of the Deep State now, when the US electorate was so badly fooled by a pompous Fox News fanatic who hypocritically pretended to oppose the Deep State and its warfare aims. But the Neocon Deep State is far more prevalent and powerful now than it has ever been; and that is not simply due to the presidency of Donald Trump.]

So what is the US plan for Iran? One clue is that the Tech Bros mandate based on Disruption Theory and has come home to roost in a manner that no Realist ever expected. Whatever the vile fiends who populate the Federal government of the United States have planned for Iran, we can only know that the result will be cruel, inhuman, deadly, murderous, and destructive to the world: in part perpetrated by the demons who fly the flag of Satan as their National Emblem, while engaging in a national policy of political assassination. In other words, instead of asking what the US plan may for Iran’s future be, we must ask what is the Israeli plan.

Certainly Israel is an enemy of the United States – not an ally. Israel wishes to marginalize the United States. But not to such an extent that the US economy fails and Wall Street is destroyed. No, like the parasite that Israel is, Israel may only thrive and continue to establish Greater Israel so long as the US American Host lives on.  Now the only hope for the world is that the Host and its Parasite will be defeated, with regard to the diabolical agenda for Greater Israel.  That hope rests with Iran,  for Iran to defend itself versus the Great Satan Epstein regime of child-killers that the US — and its parasite Israel — have proven to be.

Other thoughts: Terminal Mistrust of the US Government

Invariably, any public statement made by the US federal government must be mistrusted. Indeed, everything and anything proclaimed by the US federal government is false, or a deception. Point being, since the US government has declared a coming potential amphibious assault on Iran, that declaration is either a deception or a lie. Of course, the US War Department cannot reveal its true intent, or that of its parasite. The US War Department has no interest in world peace or negotiation, having already engaged in a colossal military mistake, perhaps historically equivalent to the German invasion of Russia, in 1941.
