BREAKING: New reports suggest that the Pentagon may be preparing to deploy the 82nd Airborne Division to take part in a ground invasion of Iran. The Washington Post reports that this elite unit has been instructed not to participate in scheduled exercises, and is awaiting further orders. Will they be the first “boots on the ground” as Trump escalates the war with Iran to new heights?
A U.S. ground invasion would be absolutely catastrophic. Huge numbers of U.S. troops would die, unthinkable Iranian casualties would ensue, and the economic crisis would deepen. It would be just like George Bush’s disastrous invasion of Iraq, but perhaps even more bloody. The U.S. public knows this — that’s why Trump administration officials have lied about their intentions so insistently.
Now is the decisive moment. The people of this country need to take a stand before it’s too late and Trump plunges us into yet another forever war in the Middle East.
Protests are taking place nationwide tomorrow as part of a powerful coordination day of action. Join a demonstration near you!
