Pentagon briefing on the Saudi oil strike on tv. We're deploying troops!!

[herding cats]

I'm terrified.

Oh damn. We're deploying troops!

Specifics are vague, air and missile defense and unknown troops deployed.

Iran is going to retaliate. I'm numb here.

13. Yes, it is.

Then the the vague no specifics until next week. 🤬

8. Won't have specifics til 'next week.'

'Defensive,' to help the 'poor' saudis.

[herding cats]

16. I just mentioned that, too.

You build a coalition and then move. Not the other way around and say wait and see next week!
