Am I the only one worried that gratuitous bombing approaching total destruction of Iranian military and civilian infrastructure will lead to desperate retaliation by mass terror strikes on the US. Some US city could get nuked.
Here’s an idea: why not focus less on the secretly part and more on the buying.
Once again painting bullseyes around bullet holes.
They’re all insane. Certifiably.
I think this war is pmt on a debt to the RW fundamentalists for their support. That’s why he tore up the nuclear deal right out of the gate, to set up pretext for the war that would safeguard LZ for the Second Coming. Kept putting it off, but marker came due. Also pushed by inner circle zealots.
Tragically, these delusional zealots may be all that’s left of the officer corps after the purges.
60 some years ago during the Vietnam War buildup, I was cautioned by a cynical neighbor to watch for flurries of Medal of Honor announcements and ceremonies as a sure sign that war was imminent. Never found him to have been wrong.
US Armed Forces’ new mission: mercenaries for hire.
Suggestion: MBS and Bibi didn’t ask him, they paid for service. US military as mercenaries for hire.
A religious war. Honoring his promise to the fundamentalist right wing as payoff for their support. Their FA goal is to ensure Holy Land be protected for the Second Coming. DJT cancelled the nuclear deal with Iran in order to create a pretext for war as soon as Iran resumed their nuclear program.
Here much the same.
Best way to get your name on it.
“I’m willing to bend over backwards for my country; I refuse to bend over forward.”
Yes, this! And deliver the free ID in person and hand it to the voter.
When you fill the ranks by deputizing the Oath Keepers enmasse, they come pre-trained. Easier and economical.
Modern science is blasphemy. Its true purpose is nullification of the Bible and the word of God.
I certainly think of it that way.
Big difference: US Armed Forces, including the Guard, make an effort to screen out and weed out psychopaths. DHS seeks them out with signing bonuses.
Psychopaths.
When you intentionally recruit psychopaths and they perform exactly as you intended…

You could almost call them deplorable.
“Internal bleeding to the torso” = a bruise.
And don’t buy the “poorly trained” trope. ICE agents are precisely trained on how to trap people in vehicles and create pretexts for free killing opportunities.
If there is a doctrine, it’s Putin’s. More aptly, it’s two mob bosses divvying up the city and including a small patch for the newcomer third boss who will know his place and keep out of the way.
Trump doesn’t have a foreign policy; he has simply signed on to Putin’s plan.
Tells me everything about where Trump’s brain actually lies.
Oh FFS, Trump “a student of history”?! How can a human being debase him or herself so completely to even contemplate, let alone utter, that statement?
Concur. And I’ll go one deeper: Forrest represents the baby boom generation, stumbling mindlessly through life, bouncing from one obsessive fad to another, and still somehow prospering to the detriment of everyone else. Being a first wave boomer myself, I took umbrage.
