John Vann was a military and civilian expert on war, tried to convince military and political leaders of that very fact in 1963. Of course, he couldn't penetrate the wall of fog, and the result was the Vietnam debacle.

It's a simple point but 100% true:
Trump couldnβt get away with cruel, pathetic, disgraceful, criminal, corrupt, fascist stuff he does and says without the bootlicking enablers in his party.

"No quarter" is an international war crime. That's what the defense secretary champions in a White House full of criminals.
The criminal trump was "wounded" by a handful ketchup, with the magic ear healing miraculously. And it doesn't take a sophisticated "intelligence" team to predict an assassination plot. Details and planning, yes.

I hate trumpism as much as anyone. And any person who wanted to view my comments would know that, instead of knee-jerk reactionism.
I posted my comment regarding peoplesβ hypocrisy. Calling out terrorism by anyone, terrorist acts are by definition deplorable no matter who performs the wanton destruction. Hiding behind nationalist jingoism or religious fanaticism is pure stupidity. I call out Israel the same as US or Iran, etc.
I'm sick of fanatics no matter their religion or nationalist beliefs. If people of those beliefs cannot stand to hear a fanatic being condemned, that's their stupid problem.
Flag waving, religious slop, and jingoism have never appealed to me and I despise it.

I never said anything about Jewish families in MI. I said Israel is a murderous state.
People who cannot separate facts from their stupid jingoism have caused so much heartache for centuries. I'm sick of it.
Sorry, I should have listed all the instances that Israel murderers have massacred innocent children, men, and women. Someone who cannot recognize when they support murderers become murderers.
I condemn the US for its role in the massacre of Iranian schoolgirls. You might stop your fucking mouth.
Especially in protecting children as they innocently attend school. Oh, waitβ¦
Fuck the murderous Israelis.
Does anyone really love that βgorgeousβ grey basketball court and lack of lighting wherever Houston is playing? Me eitherβ¦whoever had that brainstorm needs to look forward to designing the color scheme at their local unemployment office.
I was watching a menβs NCAA basketball game when the ref blew his whistle and called a foul andβ¦nobody fell on the floor!
A Festivus miracle! ππΉ
In collusion with Great Britain, BTW.
Iβd prefer seeing him in the ground. No casket, just dumped in a hole.
What does he base this latest stupidity on? Did anyone even ask him his source?
I know the answer.
Did the interviewer press that response by asking the obvious - why has become βeasierβ? Killing children? Obtaining the unknown βobjectivesβ?
If not, why the hell didnβt they ask these obvious follow-on questions, why do they kiss his fat ass & not do their jobs?
I hope they did their duty.
It's amazing what a couple months spreading your legs can do for your career if you're a white female blonde in GOP circles. No brains and strong knees add to your resume.

Is that the diet of healthy βwarriorsβ? No.
Itβs frivolous, military waste.
Nah. Tell it to a dead tree stump instead. The tree stump will be smarter than idiot Cruz...and much better looking.
How soon they forget.
The useless idiots Johnson and trump would rather create the IS military casualties themselves. Inconceivable this destructive criminal gang hasnβt been shut down. The worthless GOP Congress must pay for their criminally negligent support for these crimes against humanity.
Keep it going...

This presser is fucking insane.
Trump threatened to target Iranian electricity production and βhit them so hard that nobody can ever rebuild in that locationβ
Thatβs not a thing. Even if we nuked them.
He also said weβre bombing Iran to help China. Batshit crazy.
The βTehran Squareβ Hegseth refers to here does not exist. Heβs probably thinking of Tahrir Square in Cairo. Azadi Square would be the rough equivalent in Iran.
With all of the horrors he's unleashing on the world, I know this is not the biggest deal, but he is such an unspeakable disgrace.
Who are the gulf βvassalsβ?
One should take care in the words one uses.
Can we say the deranged idiot is toast, pretty much?
Hes definitely stupid, very much

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
