On Monday, the president’s lack of a plan in Iran was outlined in stark terms in a letter to Congress obtained by CBS News officially informing lawmakers of the strikes.
“Although the United States desires a quick and enduring peace, it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary,” Trump said in the letter.
U.S. forces “remain postured to take further action… to address further threats and attacks upon the United States or its allies and partners,” he continued.
The letter was sent under the War Powers Act, a 1973 resolution requiring the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of deploying U.S. forces if Congress has not declared war. The deployment cannot last more than 60 days without congressional approval.
Wait… didn’t Vance say a few days ago that the wars before were fought badly because of dumb presidents, how the fuck is this different!??
Trumps dumber than dumb
He is literally demented.
adjective
-
behaving wildly and irrationally on account of anger, distress, or excitement.
-
affected with dementia.
-
Because this isn’t a war, as only Congress can declare war. This is just one of Trump’s special military operations.
/s
Says the department of… WAR. you can’t make this shit up.
It’s different because it’s under a president he supports, duh. /s
Well, he has a concept of a plan, you see.
“Plan” is just a fancy word for “urges and yes-men”.
Oh shit, since this BOMBSHELL letter has dropped, I’m sure MAGA will MELT DOWN and someone will SLAM trump with a brutal TAKEDOWN.
“Although the United States desires a quick and enduring peace, it is not possible at this time to know the full scope and duration of military operations that may be necessary,” Trump said in the letter.
Clearly written by someone else. There is no way Mango Mussolini was this coherent.
For sure. There are many words longer than 5 letters. And certainly his base can’t read the bulk of this.
Yeah, NOTHING in ALL CAPS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
Good to hear. Now I’m confident that the US definitely won’t succumb to mission creep and get sucked into an interminable war that will end countless thousands of lives.
It’s not like there’s ever been a precedent for that sort of thing.
So this was just an assassination.
Of Iranian school children.
And 85 year old man lured out for peace talks. Both are war crimes. Both are also probably Israel’s idea, they’re running this show.
Bombing peace talks feels like its become a pattern under Trump, makes me wonder if anyones even going to bother negotiating with the US after this.
Mass murder.
You can be certain Mossad has had this as a war plan for years and they finally got their payment from Epstein to sign off on it
People keep saying this is going to be America’s next forever war, but there’s a good chance we might just lose.
I am hoping a carrier is sunk. Everybody lives, but a huge hole in the thing and all the planes go with it. America is in desperate need of a kick to the nuts. Without that, America will continue to be a drunken bully.
I don’t even think you can say, “America,” at this point; I think this 5 to 10 people at the top of the administration that thought they could repeat what they did in Venezuela. There are plenty of ghouls in both parties that have been dreaming of regime change in Iran, but even they wouldn’t be stupid enough to think they could just bomb the country for a weekend, kill the Ayatollah, and move on. Intelligence officials at the Pentagon directly contradicted the administration’s claim that Iran was planning an attack, and even John Fucking Bolton wrote an op-ed saying this was a bad idea. America is gonna get a kick in the nuts, but only a handful of people are actually responsible for this cluster-fuck, and they probably won’t learn anything or face any consequences for their actions.
But jumping into a war with no clear objectives worked so well in Vietnam!
It was a great way to dispose of surplus bombs from WWII.
Maybe in a few years they’ll start making movies about how much this war sucked for the invaders.
Play Solitaire
Lose
Blame the cards
Oh the republicans will be insufferable. I mean, even more.
We don’t even know what it is. How can we lose?
He’s spent his whole life pointing at stuff he wants and telling other people to make it happen for him and getting everything he wants. He doesn’t know how to plan anything; he just knows how to be a rich asshole and bully people into giving him what he wants. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that he doesn’t have a plan for anything.
I mean Republican war hawks like Bolton have wanted to go to war with Iran for a few decades. I would have thought they would have had a concept of a plan.
he doesn’t have a plan for anything.
He said he had “concepts of a plan” for health care on national television after nearly a decade railing about the fucking issue, and this idiot populace still re-elected him. It’s clear at this point that not only does he not have a plan, but that to much of the voting populace that’s completely fine and fucking dandy.
When he said that I thought that there was no way he was going to win and that there can’t be anyone stupid enough to vote for him, knowing full well that there were people stupid enough to vote for him after the thousands of other stupid, disqualifying things he’s done prior to that. Still can’t believe nothing can be done about the situation.
We all know he didn’t author that.
Plan is as intended sign here sir and here and here
That fat tub of walking gonorrhoea never has a plan, it’s just stumbling from one child-like reaction to the next toddler tantrum.
There’s no way Trump wrote a letter, especially not using those words.
The question is: did he even read it before it got sent over?
It seems like having a staffer draft the letter isn’t a huge deal, but a normal president would personally approve it, I imagine.
Why are you asking him? Ask his boss, Netanyahu.
Maybe stupid Americans shouldn’t elect a guy that admitted he only had concepts of plans while standing next to a woman who laid her plans out for voters.
Marco Rubio said what I assume is the actual truth. Israel told us they were going to carry out the attack, and the US agreed to go along with it at the last second.
He also said what I think was a lie in the same explanation, that if Israel had attacked alone, then we knew Iran would attack the US and so we had to strike first to limit US casualties.
It’s a pathetic loser of a reason, that we can’t stand up to Israel. No wonder everyone else in the Trump administration has been lying about it non-stop.
Had Israel attacked alone and had we subsequently been attacked, do we really think there would have been far more US casualties? It seems dubious to me, based on the history, but I am not an expert.
If Iran did attack us like that, then we’d have complete justification for joining at that point.
The “if we don’t attack them there, they’ll attack us here” has been working as a great excuse for endless wars for as long as I can remember so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on american voters this time
Shit planning, depleting precision munition stockpiles and not listening to your best officers. Mango Mussolini requests a ceasefire and the Iranians understand the US is spending about a $1 billion daily and tell him to go pound sand. This is MAGA “winning.” F-them.
