US military leaders previously warned Trump that they were ‘not ready’ to respond to Iran’s anticipated retaliation and required additional time to prepare

They can’t change regimes in Iran. They can assassinate leaders, blow shit up, it will just unite the country more against the attackers as they rally around the flag. There is not a chance of a regime change without a monumental physical invasion and that would be a failure to acheive anything better.
And then they get to stand around saying “Why do they hate American so much? It must be because we have freedom!”. This has the lead up to 2001 written all over it.
The media really does foster some dumbass conversations, they know whom their target audience is in getting support for military adventurism, and it’s not us. Operation Enduring Freedom, like gtfo, no one in reality believed it. These leaders are corrupt, mean, and incapable. Their reason for being in foreign hostilities seems to mostly be extracting money from the government for their contractors, too corrupt and mean to craft a winning strategy. They didn’t make an economy for afghanistan or iraq, didn’t build a solid middle class, agrarian unions with the support to feed the country and be a base of support for a new republic. No instead they paid off a bunch of corrupt warlords to play game of thrones while everyone stole what they could. It was a joke, as every inspector general that went through afghanistan or iraq reported, yet they changed nothing in their strategy.
