Y'all have a good day.

Well, howdy there, Internet people.

It's Belle again.

So today, we're going to talk about U.S.

invasion objectives for Trump's war in Iran.

The reporting has become more and more clear that Trump is considering an invasion of Iran.

They're, of course, trying to frame it as anything other than that in the press.

But we're talking about U.S.

troops being deployed inside Iran.

They're saying it'll be limited.

They're saying it won't be deep inside Iran's territory and so on.

It doesn't change what Trump is doing.

Republican Senator James Lankford said, quote, He went on to say, quote,

If this is special forces to be able to carry out a specific operation, get in, get out, that's very different than longstanding occupation.

The worst thing that can happen is to be able to have this kind of conflict start and to not end it, to leave it undone.

We've got to be able to finish this.

We're a month into the war, and senators in Trump's own party don't know why it's being fought, don't know the objectives, and yet we're getting ready to put troops in.

It's going to be hard to finish this when nobody knows what they're doing, and Trump changes mission objectives and victory conditions daily.

That's a recipe for lost troops and a lost war.

Let's run through the menu based on the assets in the region that we know are deployed.
