General Discussion

is almost certainly to dismantle all of Iran's nuclear capability. The Trump regime is not being transparent about this for a few reasons. One is security to protect operations. Another is to keep Iran from knowing exactly what US forces are doing and when.

I am not justifying the war or siding with Trump. I am only observing and drawing conclusions from what we see and what we know about the parties involved.

Israel has always felt threatened by Iran's nuclear developments. Iran has aided Israel's terrorist enemies. Iran had an active part in aiding Hamas against Israel. Israel wants Iran's regime destroyed along with Iran's nuclear developments.

Nobody in the world wants to see Iran develop a nuclear weapon, except Iran's leaders.

Trump has personal business interests in the Middle East. He cannot begin to make plans for his resort in Gaza until hostile terrorist elements are neutralized. So he joins Israel in a united attack on Iran. Trump might never see his resort since he is declining so much, but Jared will run the show anyway, so Trump is paving the way for Jared to proceed with what Trump believes will be his personal lasting legacy in the region.

Sending Marines is the first step in ground operations with the intent to dismantle Iran's nuclear facilities. That is the long range goal. That means that, although Hegseth sounds like an idiot spouting word salads because he IS an idiot, somebody with the ability to make plans and see them carried out is working behind the scenes. Hegseth is just too stupid to understand the big picture or just incapable of putting it into coherent words. That no doubt suits Trump and Netanyahu who want to proceed without informing their own people or the world what they are doing.

There is a plan. They just are not revealing it openly. My guess for who develops the plans and sees that they are carried out is someone in the Israeli defense department who coordinates with US military leaders.

If Israel and the US succeed in completely dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities and its theocratic dictatorship, they will be viewed as world saviors despite how despicable Netanyahu and Trump are in other aspects of their lives. There is also reason for concern regarding HOW they proceed. Given who they are, I expect to see some war atrocities committed during the process of the war.
