Trump plans to take Kharg Island when US marines arrive by his 5-day extended deadline.

Taking Kharg Island from the Iranians would be a lot more challenging than defending Taiwan against invasion by China. Xi Jinping will be watching how US Central Command conducts the operation. There is much to learn from Donald Trump.

Swagger. Trump wants American swagger much more than ever before.

@Musicman It is the Iranian oil shipment terminal..And any attempt to take it will see it destroyed so no oil can be shipped from there. This is Trump doubling down with a global doomsday scenario, just short of nuclear war.. To starve the world of oil..

@Musicman Kharg Island is the heart of Iran's oil export industry. If the buffoon even so much as damaged the oil-related infrastructure there the americans would be paying double-digit prices for fuel.

Fortunately that is unlikely now that america has surrendered, but it's important that in the next few days Iran finds a way to take their victory lap without humiliating the buffoon personally.
Because he cares only for himself he won't be concerned that he has humiliated a 'great no longer' America - he personally must avoid even the slightest hint of criticism
