More US Marines and warships are being deployed to the Middle East, two officials confirmed to CBS News, the BBC’s US partner.
The officials said the reinforcements were to come from an amphibious ready group and its Marine expeditionary unit, with one official adding that the group would be led by the Japan-based USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship.
The unit headed by the USS Tripoli typically consists of around 5,000 sailors and Marines distributed across several warships.
The development comes as Donald Trump said US forces had “totally obliterated” Iranian military infrastructure on Kharg Island in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipping.
1 billion per day, just to do this. the longer trump drags on and doesnt admit defeat the worst its going to get economically. iran can drag this on indefinitely.
The scary part is Hegsett and Trump would rather nuke than admit defeat.
Part of me wishes that it nukes itself in confusion.
Basically the only options are another forever war or WW3.
Actually that billion per day doesn’t count the extra logistics and movement of troops and equipment, so in reality that number is maybe close to double what they report.
Absolute insanity.
How is America going to pay for all this debt?
they did spend 93bn in a couple months, so theres that.
