"It’s clear Trump’s plan to take control of the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t well thought out."

I can't believe this guy and his team have taken us to war. Not only that, but their plans, or lack of any real plans that they all can agree on, keep falling by the wayside. Only the defenders and apologists of Trump seem to have their act together - and that act is to attack anyone and everybody who tries to question the seemingly lack of a Trump strategy here. Sure, we see the successes of US military tactical operations, but any clear strategy seems to be guided by Trump's mercurial nature -- his love of chaos.

Trump Threatens Iran as His Plan for Strait of Hormuz Disintegrates

Trump is warning that Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth.”

It’s clear Trump’s plan to take control of the Strait of Hormuz wasn’t well thought out. Did Trump really expect the Iranian government to just cave to his demands?

On Monday afternoon, shortly after begging South Korea to join the war following the attack on its ship, the president announced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine will hold a press conference Tuesday morning.

Trump and Hegseth are not listening to the military wonks and firing those who won't tell them what they want to hear.

You're about two month behind the rest of us.

It's already begun, but I can't wait until the military shows these Iranian pleasure boats being sent to the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

I believe people miss an important fact. Seen it during the Vietnam War, Afghan/Iraq wars. People forget that nations under attack are defending tehir own land, families, culture. Invaders? What are they protecting and will they suffer the costs willingly? Over an extended period of time.

I believe they see themselves as being sent to the bottom of the Persian Gulf in defense of their freedoms and liberties. The troops. The military.

I imagine you'll be crying great big puppy tears when the videos start rolling in. Didn't you do that when Trump sent all of those drugs to the bottom of the Caribbean, Dainty?

Now imagine the determination and bravery of the guy in the small boat.

Hardware is cool, but men win wars.
