A great point in @lkatfield.bsky.social's book on MAGA right is how all this grandiose playacting reflects a hyper-masculine ethic that’s deeply solipsistic and juvenile—so much so that it's actually “unmanly.”

Italy beats the USA 8-6
They did have a plan. It just relied on everyone else.
There certainly reasonable hindsight here
Going serious for a moment, it’s fascinating for me to realize that at no point did we ever build a solo strategy for just invading Iran/attacking Iran.
Like it’s so out there even Tom Clancy wouldn’t touch it.
Container ship, sounds like north end of the Gulf?
Hoping the crew is safe. Also, hooo boy.
"It's a mess right now for the Americans"
A throwing error from Brad Keller gives Italy their 6th run

BREAKING: Leaked Pentagon documents reveal highly classified CENTCOM war plans
WHAT IS THAT OMG
Soooooo based on what I’m seeing tonight it sounds like
1- nobody in the Pentagon gamed out “US goes it alone with zero allies who have available minesweepers or escorts
2- we don’t have enough of the right ship, or personnel to do escort duty.

It's not quite pre-Musk Twitter but there are thriving sports communities on Bluesky. I even made a guide for sportsball enjoyers: badfaithtimes.com/your-guide-t...
How do they not have a detailed operational plan that has been kept continually updated for 40 years? This would be like Joffre saying in August 1914 he's looking at options.
So per ESPN, the Maxx Crosby trade is off. @minakimes.bsky.social waiting for the tea
Liking the kicks
I mean most naval ships are referred to as her, so this tracks

And this feels like the issue. I suspect that US strategic planning ceeded a lot of escort related options to allies.
When we fired people, did we toss the Iran strategic plans?
wtf
There’s a woe and no Potats,
