Does anyone think they have a plan?

We go into Iran and kill their leaders and drop bombs on school girls and destroy everything. For what objective and at what cost? They never advised anyone, except for maybe Putin? We have a bunch of incompetent juveniles playing games with weapons of mass destruction.

They have no plan. They have some new military gadgets and they want to try them out in real time. People die from their decisions.

It is criminal. Not just toward Iran and its people but to the American people who will die and sacrifice for this violent regime.

We do not know where we are headed? We have a driver who has no directions. He listens to the last person that talks to him. America is in a dangerous predicament.

They refused in Venezuela, and they're likely to refuse again because Hegseth is having a lot if fun bombing the hell out of everything in Iran, including schools and residential apartment buildings, water systems, and oil infrastructure.

If possible, he will use the military to take Iranian tankers and sell the oil for his own profit.

Sort of what seems to be happening in Venezuela at least for now.

He went to war on his own and no one stopped him. He is putting the military in foreign countries to fight drug cartels, next he will replace law enforcement in the US with the military so that he is in charge.

Krasnov doesn't care how the war turns out.

war. Inspire anger toward the US by religous zealots in the ME and then use the retaliation to make $ off war and distract from other issues.
