Donald Trump is now preparing to deploy elements of the 80-second airborne division into the Middle East.

Now this follows Donald Trump deploying the USS Boxer and Fibia Seredi Group and 2,500 Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit as well.

So, we have the USS Boxer, the USS Portland, the USS Comstock, departing San Diego in the past 48 hours. Add to that a Marine Expeditionary Unit aboard the USS Tripoli carrying about 2,500 troops from Japan expected to arrive in the Persian Gulf region by late March and the other ships are expected to get there late April. And so, folks, things are escalating. We were reporting early yesterday how Donald Trump and his military generals and admirals are apparently planning a ground invasion of Carg Island and also the coast of Iran potentially putting troops there and things are getting very, very escalating there very, very quickly.

Here's what Donald Trump posted on social media as well, though, where he tried to act like he wasn't doing what we actually can see these deployments occurring Donald Trump rights.

We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the terrorist regime of Iran.

One completely degrading Iranian missile capability launchers and everything else pertaining to them too destroying Iran's defense industrial base three eliminating their Navy and Air Force including anti aircraft weaponry four never allowing Iran to get even close to nuclear capability and always being in a position where the USA can quickly and powerfully react to such a situation should it take place five protecting at the highest level our Middle Eastern allies, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait and others.

The Hormuz straight will have to be guarded and policed as necessary by other nations who use it. The United States does not exclamation point. If asked, we will help these countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn't be necessary once Iran's threat is eradicated importantly, it will be an easy military operation for them. Thank you for your attention to this matter, Donald J. Trump, so while Trump is deploying all of these troops to the region, he makes a post where it seems like he's saying that he's going to surrender and then just leave the straightive Hormuz which he's now responsible for having become closed by starting this war with Netanyahu against Iran and then Iran retaliating as such.

We'll just leave it to everybody else to deal with, but he's also now deploying these troops. There's clearly no actual leadership taking place. It seems like they're just winning it one day to the next and you want to talk about winning it, while Donald Trump is also saying that he thinks his job is done. Also deploying the 86th Airborne and those other troops that I mentioned, we also learned yesterday that the United States through a Treasury Department, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant announced that they are providing a 30 day sanction waiver for Iranian oil on the water loaded before March 20th.

So as Gregory Brooks claims, so while the U.S. is trying to bomb Iran into submission or decimate them, as Donald Trump says, it is now permitting nations to buy Iranian oil for the first time since 2019, but it gets even worse than that because if you read the waiver as Gregory Brooks claims, the waiver actually permits Iranian oil to be brought into the U.S.

For the first time since the 1990s, it gives access to Iranian oil into the United States, while the U.S. is at war with Iran after the U.S. lifted oil sanctions against Russia.

This was one of Iran's big objectives to be able to get the sanctions removed, think about it. They've closed the straight of removes the sanctions are removed against their own oil. The sanctions are removed against Russia's oil, Russia's making a killing literally and figuratively right now, they're making so much damn money selling their oil.

And then they've also got the benefit of Donald Trump attacking NATO all day. Donald Trump was making social media post yesterday saying NATO was a paper tiger.

He called NATO members cowards with an exclamation point because they didn't want to go into the straight of her moves after Donald Trump launched this unlawful and unconstitutional war. Donald Trump is now purportedly building up the the military presence in that region. Gregory Brooks also makes a great point to I want to share with you.

The Marine force that I just mentioned earlier in this video, that's being se...

The island of Kashem, which lies along the north end of the straight of Hormuz, has a population of 150 to 180,000.

The city of Bandar Abbas on the coast has 500,000 people. Cargile has approximately 8,000 people.

And then Donald Trump's like we've degraded and destroyed Iranian capabilities. Interesting. Interesting because in the past 24 hours, you can see right here a large fire burning. Following a direct Iranian drone strike on the U.S. State Department's Baghdad Diplomatic Support Center, the BDSC in the Iraqi capital located on the site of Baghdad's international airport. You can see that right there. You've got other developments as well, Arabic developments. Kuwait's largest refinery was hit by Iranian drones. Also as Iraq declares a forced majority on foreign oil fields, drop site is a good summary.

So Iranian drone strikes hit Kuwait's Mina al-Al-Madi refinery on Friday, sparking fires in multiple units for the second time in 24 hours.

Kuwait petroleum corporation and state news agency Kunis said fire crews work to contain the blaze. No injuries immediately reported Kuwait's largest. But the refinery is Kuwait's largest, which processes about 730,000 barrels per day had to shut down affected units separately. Iraq has officially declared a forced majority on all of its oil fields, operated by foreign companies Iraqi oil ministry sources, told rods. Do you know what I mean when I say forced major?

That means like a force of God clause where it's basically invoking a special clause that says it doesn't have to deliver on its commitments.

So it's a way of saying, we're not going to satisfy any contracts forced major clause. That's what a forced major is.

The move allows operators to suspend output and export obligations due to the war efforts in several major oil fields and the southern Bazaar region. Now that's in addition to what we talked about those northern oil and energy fields, liquefined natural gas facilities rather in Qatar, which about 20% or so of that field was damaged. That was after the United States and Israel struck the south powers.

Oil, oil and energy facilities belonging to Iran. Iran also struck rad in the past 48 hours in Saudi Arabia and some surrounding energy fields there.

And as a college of bear explains, this is escalating quickly as well, because in addition to all of the places that I just mentioned there, for the first time Iran is now warning about foreign bases to directly, not just foreign bases, but are directly threatening UAE itself. Right Abu Dhabi is in UAE Dubai is in UAE and specifically the area, the Ross Al-Qaima in response to actions involving disputes there. So what Iran is saying is, if you're in anywhere in these regions in UAE, get out tourist facilities, anything is fair game at this point. We're going to attack because they say,

UAE has been used by American High Mars to shoot into Iran, so we're going after anything in the UAE at this point as well. And so UAE is in a state of under panic as well. And again, as Donald Trump's like, we've donated Iran, we've destroyed, we've donated it really because Wall Street Journal's CNN and others reported yesterday that Iran was able to target the Diego Garcia base with ballistic missiles. And that's in the Indian Ocean. So according to the Wall Street Journal citing multiple US officials around targeted the joint US UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate, intermediate range ballistic missiles, the IRBMs.

According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a US destroyer, utilizing an SM3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base fortunately. But this is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having a range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper. And as Benham Ben Talbu explains, Iran's operational IRBM launch against Diego Garcia means more defanging that term needs to be done against the Iranian missile threat.

The regime still has new capabilities up its sleeve, the timeline to ICBM cap...

And again, one of the things as this one account as the open source intelligence technical account explains the bigger story here, the implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran with a range of 4,500 kilometers distance to Diego Garcia.

And theoretically, this could also target sites in central Europe, and that was an important message that Iran wanted to send its foreign minister Iraq, she posted this message.

The vast majority of British people do not want any part in the Israel, US war of choice on Iran, ignoring his own people, care Starmers putting British lives in danger by allowing UK bases to be used for aggression against Iran.

Iran will exercise its right to self defense, so putting the people of the UK on notice as well.

And you see how utterly weak in pathetic Donald Trump looked yesterday when he held that press conference on the White House. I did a whole video of his meltdown, so I'm not going to do a whole stick where I show you all the clips again because I showed you those clips yesterday. But here Donald Trump's like like a member during COVID Donald Trump was like, like a miracle, COVID's all going to go away. It's all going to magically disappear. Well, now he's doing the same thing with the straightive or moves right after Donald Trump engages in this unlawful and disastrous war against Iran with net Yahoo.

Iran responds by closing the straightive for moves, although Iran is also charging $2 million to its allies that want to pass so China and Indian other countries can pay Iran.

Iran now runs actually making a lot more money in the U.S. lifting sanctions while they're all there at it as well.

Donald Trump's like at a certain point the straight will open itself. Remember, was it last weekend where Donald Trump posted that he had assembled an international coalition that he was going to reveal.

All these countries agreed that they would be joining Donald Trump's coalition. And he said, I'm not going to leak the names yet because I want to keep it a surprise right now. It's like NATO's a paper tiger and the straight will open itself.

Watch with Donald Trump said yesterday play this clip.

It's a simple military maneuver. It's relatively safe, but you need a lot of help in the sense of you need ship. You need volume. And NATO could help us, but they so far haven't had the courage to do so. And others could help us. But, you know, we don't use it. You know, at a certain point, it'll open itself at a certain point. But we've defeated the enemy. And they are in enemy. There is sick group of people. The leadership has gone. The Navy has gone. The Air Force has gone. The anti-aircraft equipment that they have. The radar they have. There's all gone. Everything's gone.

The straight itself, the actual straight. How are you? The straight itself is, we're going to do a good job. But it would be nice if the countries are including China. If the countries that use it, China uses it 90% of their energy.

Japan is 95% of the energy. It would be nice if those countries would get involved. And then a reporter says, "Do you have a plan on any of this stuff where you literally just winging this?" And he's like, "If I had a plan, why would I even tell you here play this clip?" Meanwhile, Donald Trump is crashing our markets yesterday. The markets closed the Dow at 45,000. The S&P at 6500. The Nasdaq at 21,000. Each of those were down. And Nasdaq was down about 2%. The S&P was down about 1.5%. The Dow was down about 1%. The markets have absolutely been crashing as Adam Kobayashi explains in a southern turn of events.

The U.S. 12-month inflation expectations have surge to 5.2%, the highest level since March 2023. In just three weeks, markets have gone from pricing in rate cuts to rate hikes around $1 trillion. It was wiped off the U.S. stock market yesterday alone as these major indexes dropped 1-2%. A mid-escalating mid-East tensions and those were dropping even more before this week. But Donald Trump continues to say that he believes he won, that the war is over, and that he won, but we're also sending troops, but we're also withdrawing troops.

And we're also, have all these allies who want to help us in the straight-of-ermos, but also we don't want their help, and also they're not helping, and also Donald Trump and his regime are a bunch of complete idiots covering up child sex trafficking rings.

Getting us into endless wars while the American people can't afford anything,...

So here, play this clip of Donald Trump saying, "We won, and we won." Here, play this clip.

Oh, I think we won, we've knocked out the Navy, they're Air Force, we've knocked out their anti-equip, we've knocked out everything we're roaming free from a military standpoint.

All they're doing is flogging up the straight, but from a military standpoint, they're finished. There you have it folks, let me know what you think about this all.
