@Cliff-Mashburn saidYou have no idea what is happening. Pete Hegseth doesn't even know. To take that position and to state it so confidently is to ignore all of human history. "This time will be different" is the attitude that loses wars before they are even fought.
I see where you are headed but the big difference is that the US and it's allies are crushing Iran and they will not be recovering. The religious regime is dead in the water. The whole world is turning on Iran and Islamic extremists.
I'm sure the Japanese plan to take out Pearl Harbor looked great on paper.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidTojo probably felt that way three weeks into his war.

Why does the US military need an additional $200 billion if it's all but over?
@no1marauder saidLobster tails, for the victory dinner.

It’s not like anyone other that Israel is supporting this bombing.
@shavixmir said20,000 bombs to Israel that they're supposedly going to pay for but somehow the US Treasury hardly ever winds up with a dime from such deals. https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-bypasses-congressional-review-to-approve-munitions-sale-to-israel/

@no1marauder saidTotally bizarre!

@no1marauder saidSounds like a better chance than biden just giving cash and weapons away, what do you think.

@mike69 saidIt takes a lot of money for people sitting round a table to feel equal and that their needs are being met and not to resort to violence as their first option of redress for long periods of imposed disadvantage and marginalisation.

@shavixmir saidI wonder if Trump KNOWS he is lying out his orange blob ass when he spouts out and pukes out more lies? Pearl Harbor attack started WW2 for the US IMMEDIATELY and of course you know all that but our assshole POTUS couldn't even point out on a map WHERE Pearl Harbor is, He might say, oh yeah, the other name for Santa Catalina island......
Dear oh dear.
It’s like a Fawlty Towers sketch.
Does anyone think trump actually realised his faux pas?
Damn. Life is funny.
@sonhouse saidWe are living in a post-truth world, and Trump embodies it to a very high degree. Truth and lies don't enter into it any more. He just babbles stream of consciousness, under the banner of total unrestricted freedom of speech. Say whatever pops into your head--no matter what damage it causes. Scream "FIRE!" in a crowded cinema when you know there is no fire, just because it pops into your head. That is the world we have created for ourselves; Trump didn't start it, he just exploits it.

@moonbus saidThere's some truth to this, but Trump is uniquely deranged for a US politician.

No President or serious candidate for President would have ever considered it proper to announce a war at 2 AM with a video on a social media site as just one of many examples of Trump's bizarre behavior.
@no1marauder saidHe made a habit in his first term of using unsecured communications media, including his personal cell phone, for official business. Just goes to show what a complete amateur he is, even now in his second term.

@no1marauder saidNo one convicted of 34 counts of tax evasion should ever have been a candidate to run the federal government. No one under serious suspicion of having committed heinous crimes should ever have been a candidate to appoint the people who handle the evidence against him.

It's putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.
