Trump Isn't Ruling Out Sending U.S. Troops To Iran

Trump Isn't Ruling Out Sending U.S. Troops To Iran

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/latest-news-live-updates_n_69a562ade4b0d383f503f9f5/liveblog_69a5b5bae4b0c426d6a88774

Trump said he would send U.S. troops to Iran "if they were necessary."

"I don’t have the yips with respect to boots on the ground — like every president says, 'There will be no boots on the ground.' I don’t say it," Trump told the New York Post on Monday. "I say 'probably don’t need them,' [or] 'if they were necessary.'"

Even though Trump previously said the war could last about four weeks, he told the New York Post that it's "ahead of schedule."

"It’s going to go pretty quickly," he said. "We’re right on schedule, way ahead of schedule in terms of leadership — 49 killed — and that was, you know, going to take, we figured, at least four weeks, and we did it in one day."

a week later 17,000 men will be there fighting.

He has no fucking idea the planning and time it takes to put enough soldiers on the ground to keep them from getting slaughtered.
