    Interventionists always try to sell their desired military conflicts by claiming there will be no “boots on the ground,” and then inevitably, virtually without exception, boot-wearing US personnel are deployedhttps://twitter.com/betsy_klein/status/1143877465590444034 …

    Trump on hypothetical war with Iran: “I hope we don’t but we’re in a very strong position if something shld happen...I’m not talking boots on the ground, I’m not saying we’re going to send a million soldiers, I’m just saying if something would happen, it wouldn’t last very long.”

        Looks like Trump's hawks may have sold him on the "limited strikes" BS. Iran already made it clear that they would retaliate and the war would spread thru the whole region. Trump knows this but here we go with another crazy Trump flip. Wonder who was at Camp David with him.

        The quickest way to get people to protest a war is to initiate a draft.

        "no boots on the ground" is rhetoric neoliberals have co-opted to make it seem they have a plan or a trick that will see stability emerge from their recommended all out hot war assault. Afterwards they don't even bother to look embarrassed when deployments are signed off on.

        No boots because it’s going to be strikes.

        Then it becomes kind of an forever thing bc to pull back is to show weakness. Look at Syria. From no boots on the ground to how dare you even question removing troops.

        They always underestimate 'enemy'. Or that's the way they sell wars to public. And they never have any exit strategy whatsoever.

        Ur giving Trump more credit than he deserves. He's got no idea what he's saying, so dissecting his word salad is pointless.

        Actually most intervention's are justified on humanitarian grounds. Ex. Maduro is a brutal dictator. Assad is gassing his own people. Babies getting thrown out of incubators etc..
