orrrr we were wrong about that axe throwing drunken idiot at the helmof the DoD after all.
He might be, as his boss, playing 7D chess all the time and come up with such a grand plan just within hours so he did not even had to attend much of the discussions on when to strike.

sgtbundy.bsky.social•3 days ago

The fact this was telegraphed and Iran likely saved key resources, likely means all this did was trigger escalation, waste weapons and airframe hours, give valuable intel on the B2 capability and risk US forces in the region

corgilover129.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course it was. That’s our military’s job, practice and practice. Think up wars games, and go.
I never feared for them, I do fear for everyone now.

All they had to tell Trump was that the attack would be called "Operation Midnight Hammer," and he was in. If they called it "Operation Trust Fund Halfwit Gets Suckered By Netanyahu," we would have attacked Taiwan just to prove he's no one's fool.

grumpygizmo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yup. Planning like this is normal. It doesn’t just pop up out of nowhere.

chrissy64.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh…so it’s Biden’s fault if Trump falls face first in to his latest pile of shit.

thanatosredux.bsky.social•3 days ago

The issue is did they do any intelligence or due diligence to understand if they were still valid first strike sites

The ineptitude of this administration tells me - NO

And I’m sorry Israeli intelligence has been off their game for 5+ years - they couldn’t even grasp a planned domestic attack

mommamia.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course. 🟠 and Hegseth didn’t come up with these plans.

thepowertobeheard.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think this plan started to develop since 1999
when Neo Cons Project for a New American Century wrote a public letter to Clinton about the threat posed by Iran

Dick Cheney prob put it in writing in 2002
He probably envies Trump that he couldn't do it when he was President

nudaydawns.bsky.social•3 days ago

But we were told DJT planned and executed this brilliant plan. He a lone could do it.

alexismac.bsky.social•3 days ago

So does this mean Trump is taking credit for something Biden did? It explains why it worked.

eddie0028.bsky.social•3 days ago

Joe only gets the blame when things go south

pruitigoe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Its amazing how little people know about our military - you can go to DoD and find contingency plans for attacking every country. Its prudent readiness.

terrishirley.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course that is the norm, but who really expects this administration to follow the norm or to do something that the ‘other side’ came up with.

pruitigoe.bsky.social•3 days ago

Of course, that’s the dice roll, right, what emotional event is driving Trump today, no one knows, least of all his staff.

Bc only 1% of the US are veterans.

Since the passing of the WW2 generation, only slightly higher are related to veterans.

It's why so many can lie about their service- very few actually know combat vets and recognize imposters.

kslibra.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm not military & my father served in the Army in the 50s so no wartime experience. But I'm intelligent, can read, can reason (this lack, combined w/a disinterest of actually researching what you don't know) is a more likely cause for the current lvl of ignorance...on a plethora of subjects!

daughterofwitches.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you for proving my point

You do not learn the behavior of a combat vets from books.

kslibra.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm unsure as to whether this is sincere or sarcasm. I'm leaning toward the latter but will give the former the lead.

daughterofwitches.bsky.social•3 days ago

Again, proving my point

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wouldn't expect less from the military, or from the government in general. Although I wouldn't trust this administration itself to have contingency plans for everything.

pruitigoe.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s DoD outside of any admin. They are constantly planning for all sorts of contingencies. How or if those plans are used is impacted by the administration, current political situation, etc.

devroc.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think I read somewhere that the bombs used were specifically designed to hit Fordow in particular, after US and Israeli intelligence discovered its existence almost two decades ago.

gorillahands.org•3 days ago

So this was on the books, Biden & co had shopped and tuned it.
Donny just pulled the trigger, and now wants to take credit for coming up with the whole thing.
He won't take blame for any fallout from it though.

sodalis.bsky.social•3 days ago

It would be remarkably easy for tsf to convince his followers that Biden actually carried out the strikes this past weekend.

hobbesjosh.bsky.social•3 days ago

Makes total sense. The Biden Administration knew it had to deal with Iran and needed a military option, when diplomacy failed. And this might have been a lot more effective, if both Bibi and Krasnov were on the same page as to when the diplomacy option failed. But clearly they weren't.

coreheadlines.com•3 days ago

Keep kicking Iran when they're down and nearly knocked out. Nettenmoron and Orange Jesus both are good at overplaying a good hand. They're hell bent on forcing Iran into a corner, life a caged animal, thinking they can force a regime change. This may end badly for everyone.

#Iran #Israel #trump

pigletsrevenge.bsky.social•3 days ago

Do you all really need ABC to tell you that the US military has off-the-shelf contingency plans for doing things like this?

Stop playing dumb for browny points. I hate Trump as much as the next guy but you're just a weapons-grade grifter.

focusisfragile.bsky.social•3 days ago

With the IAF playing the role of SEAD?

focusisfragile.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ah, guess I could have read the article. The answer is yes

swellwines.bsky.social•3 days ago

Certainly a "playbook" should contain a full range of options which must be rehearsed/simulated in order to be viable. That does not mean that the Biden administration ever seriously considered calling that play and damn the consequences.

kslibra.bsky.social•3 days ago

EXACTLY!

csci.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree too. There’s always plans, but execution without exploring alternatives is all on this inexperienced administration.

kslibra.bsky.social•3 days ago

"Inexperienced" is truly much too generous.

csci.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, that must have been a diplomatic moment. They’re actually reality show clowns.

eddie0028.bsky.social•3 days ago

So if and when things go south he'll blame biden.

Millions lose care, meds, and dignity. This isn’t reform—it’s legalized #eugenics.

Trump may have ordered military action without notifying Congress. If true, it's a serious breach of the Constitution. Demand answers. Call your reps. Flood their socials. Take to the streets. Hold him accountable. Take back Congress.

IMPEACH TRUMP
#TheResistance #DNC

If Trump violated the Constitution bombing Iran, Dems should immediately file articles of impeachment instead of invalidating the Constitution with inaction.

When will leaders start fighting for democracy as hard as we are?

Scotus gave him immunity.
john roberts will say it's an official act of the office of the presidency.

I think you just reminded me. Was it AOC who said she was going to bring impeachment charges against Alitito and Thomas?

If so, I wonder how that would work.

The Bay of Pigs was planned during the Eisenhower administration. Eisenhower recognized it as foolish. Kennedy is the one who implemented it.

Wrong only blame.

dalbak.bsky.social•3 days ago

Anyone who thinks the Pentagon hasn't been wargaming conflict scenarios with Iran for decades knows nothing about the military and how it thinks.

The US plans potential conflicts with every possible adversary in multiple scenarios constantly.

That's their job.

briancromulent.bsky.social•3 days ago

So Kegseth didn’t plan this one out. Shocking.

Of course this is in a planned response IF Iran had the A Bomb and threatened/ or used it.
