Trump is weakening the US military's global readiness to confront threats

Military leaders warn Hegseth against extending Iran war operations​

Several U.S. military leaders have advised Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that prolonging large-scale operations against Iran is unsustainable and risks weakening their ability to confront threats elsewhere, including the U.S. homeland, according to people familiar with a recent assessment prepared for the Pentagon chief.

The warnings - detailed for Hegseth by the heads of the Army, Navy and Air Force and the four-star commanders overseeing U.S. operations throughout Europe, Asia and Latin America - appear in the Aug. 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book (SDOB), these people said. They described the assessment to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because the document is classified

We have Howdy Doody running the Department of Defense now and it shows too?!!

There is no way to win this war. Iran cannot be bombed into oblivion. Sources familiar with internal data state that the US has fired a vast number of its most advanced long-range missiles. Reports suggest that almost ALL of the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and the newer PrSM have been used during the campaign.

What 'large scale operations'?
 
“This was launched with no plan, has been executed with no plan, and has been largely driven by the politics of the moment,” said a former security official who served in President George W. Bush’s administration”

“That’s why you see this insane — we’re in, we’re out, we’re back, we’re out, we’re bombing, we’re not bombing. I mean negotiating by tweet — Eisenhower would be spinning in his grave.”

Negotiating what? Iran has already lost, anchovies.

Has Iran experienced a regime change, no. Has Iran ended its nuclear potential, no. Has Iran stopped firing missiles into its neighbors and US military facilities, no. Has Iran ended its influence on oil passing thru the Strats, no. Has Iran’s proxy ceased their activities, no.

Trump has fucked his war from the jump

The degree to which Americans tend to exist in delusion is stunning and dangerous.

This son of a bitch is going down.
 
Bret has long talked about how the sense making apparatus of the West has been deliberately destroyed....the result is we are being driven to insanity....I think the reason is that we are to be slaves.

I see you didn't bother to read Wiliam Spaniel's latest YT video. That or it was above your comprehension.
