Trump approved the transfer of additional military forces to the Middle East




The US Department of Defense will send an additional military contingent to the Middle East "in connection with the alleged Iranian attack on Saudi Arabia." The main efforts of the additional forces will be focused on air defense and missile defense.

The President approved the deployment of US forces, which will mainly focus on air and missile defense. This is just the first step we are taking to respond to these attacks.

- declared Esper.

In turn, the chairman of the joint committee of chiefs of staff, General Joseph Dunford, said that the number of deployed troops would be "moderate."

Earlier it became known that the US Navy sent the USS Nitze destroyer equipped with the Aegis missile defense system to the north of the Persian Gulf. It is stated that it should "close the existing gap in the air defense of Saudi Arabia in the north-east direction", through which, according to the Pentagon, on September 14 Iran allegedly inflicted a blow on the oil enterprises of Saudi Arabia.

    If they start a ground war, this will be the end of Trump. The maximum that they are capable of is to shoot from afar, and even that is unlikely. Recoil torment.

      this will be the end of trump.
      He will be finished already, the presidential race will soon begin, they may advance another candidate, and so he will declare himself in the end (most likely, there will be no war).

    The Americans do not even consider the version that the attack can be made not by Iran, but by another player. Judging by everything either by themselves or by the work of the satellites, the famous American argument is highly likely in action!

        I would still not rule out Iran, but the behavior of the Americans suggests otherwise. Roughly speaking, they know who the performer is, and their stubbornness in accusing Iran is only confirmation

    Will they stand in three rows around oil fields and factories, and will they shoot drones with personal weapons?

      Why do they need extra troubles? From the protection of which, in fact, there will be no sense. If only, for the further implementation of it.

    Already assuming an "attack"! Forgot the main principle of your financial system - the borrower assumes, and the lender disposes. And the lender has always been in the black, even after the default.

    the size of the deployed contingent will be "moderate"

    It is necessary to do something, but there are no opportunities, there are not enough forces for the current wars winked
    But in general, it seems that the right hand did not agree with the left there - the special services have muddied the sabotage (the ears here are for sure the staff - this is simply not profitable for anyone else), but now what Trump and the army do - xs. Iran must be blamed on the blue eye - once again unproven, and this has already begun to bore even NATO neighbors. Having accused - it is necessary to press Iran, but there is Nothing to extrude. This is not to mention the fact that they have tarnished their own defense industry with sabotage - which Patriots will now buy at all?
    Again, the mattresses climbed into a puddle.
