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.
Oh shit, since this BOMBSHELL letter has dropped, I'm sure MAGA will MELT DOWN and someone will SLAM trump with a brutal TAKEDOWN.
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.
60 days is so fucking long to be able to operate without congressional approval.
Yeah, it was made at a time when the concept of a war was a months long preparation of deploying troops and moving assets into place. They didn't anticipate just attacking countries overnight.
This was a months- or weeks-long preparation. It’s been known for a while that the US was moving aircraft carriers towards Iran. This absolutely did not happen overnight.
Edit: and earlier, Military.com from 2026-01-29
Half of US state capitals are in the middle of states because they were created at a time when travel times were large enough that you wanted to minimise them for political centres. I'm assuming this was around the same time so maybe it even took time to get congress together?
Wait until 60 days and we recall them for 24 hours just to turn around and... redeploy in the same place.
Like George Washington rotating his slaves in and out of Pennsylvania so that he wouldn't have to free them. It's a time-honoured American tradition.
Sounds like one of the bullshit stunts Trump would try.
And you know after 60 days he's going to rename the operation to "Operation Big Dick Manly War" and claim it's an entirely new thing that gets another 60 days.
People keep saying this is going to be America's next forever war, but there's a good chance we might just lose.
I'd like to expand on this thought. Its been bothering me.
Even when we "lose" wars we Americans do not experience the destruction we impart on other nations.
We bombed a school. No american school children will die in this war, but Iranian children already have.
Americans will disapprove of this war but it will only affect them in limited ways, making large protests feel foolish when many are trying to scrape by to make rent, and we live under a dictator.
I don't know what there is to be done. It makes me sick.
I feel you, but honestly, with this administration, who fucking knows what will happen. The Secretary of Defense is an alcoholic, the President is sundowning, and JD Vance appears to already be in hiding. This might end with our unconditional surrender to the next Ayatollah after we lose a ground invasion.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We all know he didn’t author that.
“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.
Yeah, NOTHING in ALL CAPS.
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.
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.
