Staggering Reason Trump Made Such a Mess of His War Exposed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump didn’t plan for a ticking time bomb at the Strait of Hormuz because he was convinced that his war with Iran would be over in a matter of days, or even hours, the Daily Beast has learned.

The president was warned by his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, and other advisors that Tehran would almost certainly plug the Strait if the U.S. attacked them.

He was also told America’s Middle East allies might come under fire.

But intelligence sources with knowledge of the war planning said the president ultimately dismissed the concerns because he believed Iranians opposed to the repressive fundamentalist regime would take to the streets and overcome the ayatollah’s henchmen once the bombing began.

9. Exactly.

I was a caretaker for a narcissistic person. If you told this man not to stick a pencil in his eye, he would stick a pencil in his eye just to prove he was the boss.

We watched this in Trump's first term when he was cautioned not to look directly at a solar eclipse. What did he do? Of course, he immediately had to look directly at the solar eclipse.

6. This reminds me of

Iraq inquiry: Pentagon was convinced Army would be greeted with 'flowers on rifles'

Pentagon officials naively believed coalition troops would be greeted with "flowers on the end of rifles" when they invaded Iraq in 2003, the former head of the armed forces has told the Iraq Inquiry.

neighbor, young guy, "I didn't vote for this" - yes you did I told him, YES YOU FUCKING DID.....and while I'm at it, if you're so PRO-WAR (thinks it is necessary but is upset about gas prices) will you be enlisting? He stared at me and said, well, did YOU serve? YES, I told him, YES I FUCKING DID.....fifteen years as a GI brat and four years active duty. YEE HAW!!

[Cheezoholic]

[Grokenstein]

14. In piggy's jellied brain "advisors" are future scapegoats and under-the-bus fodder.

Even the crafty ones who manipulate him without his realization.

Bibi, on the other hand, is the sort of monstrous, murderous asshole he respects...and obeys.

Trump figured that Putin has experience.
