South Korea Says USFK Moving Parts of the THAAD Battery to the Middle East

If missiles and launchers are being moved that would still mean the system in Korea is combat effective; it would just have a smaller inventory. However, if its radar or C2 systems are being moved then it would be combat ineffective:

The United States has been moving parts of its Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system from South Korea to the Middle East, the Washington Post reported, citing two officials.

The reported movement of parts of a THAAD missile defense system comes amid media reports that the U.S. military stationed in South Korea has shipped out some of its military assets amid an intensifying war in the Middle East. 

“The Pentagon is moving parts of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system from South Korea to the Middle East,” the report said.

“The Forever War in Iran”

Before repeating whatever buzzword you have been instructed to repeat, consider the situation for just one second.

As of now, a war IN Iran has not even started. Yet you yap of forever wars in Iran as if you have said something profound.

There has been a war OVER Iran and NEXT TO Iran and those have gone quite well for America with clear goals and a clear offramp.

And once there is nothing left to bomb, the Iranian people will do what they did in 1979 or they won’t. They deserve the results of whatever choice they make.

America can keep a presence to keep Iran contained, but that is high-tempo training and practice, not a forever war… a net benefit for readiness.

There will likely be no war in Iran. This can be determined by looking for clues similar to the 9 month ramp up before Iraq. We see nothing.

You see nothing anyway except your wagging tongue.

Trump will TACO any day now over Iran since he found out it’s not a one and done like Venezuela. Hey, but higher oil prices are great because we make a lot of money, right? By “we” he means the oil companies and anyone associated with them, not the peasants paying at the pump.
