So, what do you think about Diego Garcia? [View all]

If we are going to attack Iran, which it seems we are, will this take care of the Houthi problem? Do you think it's all a bluff to get Iran to stand down its nuclear program?

If he thinks this will distract us from the havoc musk and trump is currently bombing us with, he is wrong. This latest thing he is doing just plays to his desire to bomb somebody. I also think that this is what Netanyahu planned for, to get us involved in this theater to take care of that problem. Never enough.

If this is all a pressure tactic, how much is this deployment costing us?

How long have we been deploying to DG that we didn't know?

This just isn't something I want to watch happen. I guess we'll find out pretty soon. Have you heard anything?
