Senator Says Iran War ‘Is Going Horribly’ Because Military Is Getting Orders From ‘Senile Old Man’ - Lemmy.World

This is the most incompetent, incoherent war America has fought in the last 100 years. And that’s saying a lot. This administration has no idea what they are doing. There is no viable war plan. They change their goals and their aims every single day. I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders. They are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so, it’s no surprise that this war is going horribly.

It’s going horribly because it is a stupid fucking war and Iran has geographic advantages in that it is positioned right next to the most important energy transit point on the planet. Going to war Iran is inherently stupid. It is a dumbfuck thing to do
Unless the goal wasn’t to win the war but sabotage that transit point while dropping sanctions on a certain nation that would be in the best position to benefit from such a situation, so it could re-fill their war chest?
