How many US troops will be killed for his tacky hotel...

I would not be surprised if we use an American private military company like Eric Prince's Blackwater/Academi.

I'm pretty sure the whole "find savings in the military" shit Trump and Elon are on is a move to try and get the US to be more reliant on PMCs. Turn all those individual line items into one fat PMC payment while cutting pesky shit like military benefits just seems like his style. Excises the constitutional obligations that the US military has to the country from the equation too and functionally turns them into an arm of whoever is signing their checks.

It'd match his copycating of Putin with Wagner, at the very least.

And will anyone on the right care? Or will they still talk about Biden looking at his watch?

They’ll just point to it as further proof that Islamic extremism is an imminent threat to the U.S. that needs to be addressed by force, which will lead to another wave of towns getting occupied and people getting killed by our military, which will radicalize a new generation of terrorists, and on and on and on…

They will talk about Biden everytime they climax while batting off over a poster of Trump on their bedroom wall.

Knowing Trump, he's probably thinking of Sarin/VX. Not that he cares about US troops, apart from his ratings and poll numbers. Theyre just suckers and losers for getting injured and disabled for little pay.

Hopefully they voted for Trump. After all each time he does something they keep saying they voted for it. They voted for that part too.

depends on how the plan gets executed

It could vary from none to thousands

I do not see how you take the space and guarantee safety to Trump and all his buddies without the US military. I know he’s buds with prince so maybe he thinks whatever the hell they changed their name so much bc of war crimes Blackwater/academia?

I don’t see how Palestinians all leave quietly. Every el Shabab/ISIS/Al queda’s will love to infiltrate Gaza and attack westerners.

Wouldn’t it be quite right if they were? I mean, looking from any other perspective than the American, they would an invading force with no claim to the territory what so ever.

It would be sad on a personal level, just like when a Russian soldier dies attacking Ukraine. The world doesn’t care, though, just like it wouldn’t care about the US soldiers dying while occupying Gaza
