Haha ... Trump Sends Strike Force to the Wrong Address

The problem isn't trump here. It's government bureaucracy.

And you want them to be in charge of healthcare. Insane

No, it's Trump.

Saying you bombed Iraq when you really bombed Syria ....

.... sending the navy south when you need it to go north ....

.... forgetting to trigger the start of your 30-day plan to eliminate ISIS until 70 days after you took office ....

failing to grasp that repealing is easier than replacing ....

.... it's Trump.

WASHINGTON — As worries deepened last week about whether North Korea would conduct a missile test, the White House declared that ordering an American aircraft carrier into the Sea of Japan would send a powerful deterrent signal and give President Trump more options in responding to the North’s provocative behavior.

The problem was, the carrier, the Carl Vinson, and the four other warships in its strike force were at that very moment sailing in the opposite direction, to take part in joint exercises with the Australian Navy in the Indian Ocean, 3,500 miles southwest of the Korean Peninsula.

White House officials said on Tuesday they were relying on guidance from the Defense Department. Officials there described a glitch-ridden sequence of events, from a premature announcement of the deployment by the military’s Pacific Command to an erroneous explanation by Defense Secretary Jim Mattis — all of which perpetuated the false narrative that an American armada was racing toward the waters off North Korea.

By the time the White House was asked about the Carl Vinson on April 11, its imminent arrival had been emblazoned on front pages across East Asia, fanning fears that Mr. Trump was considering a pre-emptive military strike on North Korea. It was portrayed as further evidence of the president’s muscular style two days after he ordered a missile strike on Syria while he and President Xi Jinping of China were finishing dessert during a meeting in Florida.

The saga of the wayward carrier might never have come to light, had the Navy not posted a photograph on Monday of the Carl Vinson sailing through the Sunda Strait, which separates the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra. The picture was taken on Saturday, four days after the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, described its mission in the Sea of Japan.

Wow, first time in US history a US Navy ship was given orders to change course.
Dumbass extraordinaire.
 
well I have to say, if Trump ordered the ship to go to the sea of Japan and it was headed the opposite way, how is that a trump malfunction? I'd say that's on the captain, eh? Just saying. orders are orders right?

Where again does the buck stop?

I knew it was fake from the very start, it takes brains to gather a coalition of ships and Trump and his peeps lack it in spades. This guy is so toying with the American stupid and the media is just too fuckin hungry for ratings to see beyond the bullshit.

You clearly don't know anything about military strategy and tactics.


THIS from one who has never served but says the military would side with criminals and attack innocent civilians?

Okay, so explain how this is a 'strategic tactic'.

:uhoh3:
 
The Administration is misleading the communist media mouthpieces about where our military assets are, or are going to be.
