No way to wage war

The commander in chief of the world’s mightiest military force appears to be conducting a war operation from the overfed seat of his pants.

Therefore, I will assert that is no way to wage war against a determined, fanatical and hardened regime dedicated to destroying the United States of America.

Donald J. Trump is the commander in chief who launched this war against Iran with no apparent end strategy, no apparent stated reason even for going to war in the first place and with a defense secretary who is more interested in bragging about the technology and expertise of the fighting force than he is about the suffering being inflicted on civilians and on the loss of the personnel who have died at the hands of the Iranians.

Donald Trump said yesterday that the war will “end soon,” but didn’t offer any kind of timetable. He demands “unconditional surrrender” from the Iranians. How in the name of surrrendering does he expect the Iranians to wave the white flag and call a halt to the bloodshed inflicted by the United States of America …. aka the Great Satan?

I applaude Trump already for getting rid of Iran’s ayatollah, killing him in the initial round of bombing strikes. Iran installed Ali Khameini’s son as the new imam in chief. The younger Khameini is thought to be even more militant than Daddy Ayatollah!

I just can’t figure out what the hell is going on here. I want the bombing to stop. I strongly oppose sending troops to fight the Iranians on the ground. Trump promised to end the “endless wars.” This conflict could take on the appearace of another endless war if the POTUS isn’t careful.

And we know already about the stunning lack of care and thought Trump puts into any decision he makes.

Trump: madman at work

The longer we remain at war with a nation that poses no direct threat to this nation, the more convinced I become that the man who started this war is a certifiable madman.

OK, so that’s not a huge flash to many of you who read this blog regularly. I have stated already my loathing for the POTUS and for most of the policy decisions he makes. What troubles me beyond all that is reasonable in this war with Iran is that the decision came seemingly in the dead of night, with no one next to the POTUS to caution him of the terrible risk he is taking.

What’s more, Donald Trump took this action without seeming to comprehend fully the enormous responsbility he bears when he sends young Americans into harm’s way ostensibly to protect our national interests.

Which interest is Trump protecting with this foolish and feckless act?

Iran’s leadership needed to be wiped out. The initial strike took care of the Ayatollah Ali Khameini. What follows remains anyone’s guess. Will the new ayatollah be any better? Will he assume power with his hand out in a gesture of peace? I can’t continue down this path because I will be laughing too hard derisively at such a notion.

Trump won the 2024 election vowing to end our involvement in “needless war,” only to break that promise and immediately put thousands of young Americans at risk of death or injury.

Yep. Make no mistake that Donald John Trump is out of control. He wants to seize Greenland from Denmark, wants to annex Canada as the 51st state in the U.S.A., wants to run Venezuela as if it’s a casino and now — and this is totally rich — is considering whether to take control of Cuba.

Oh, and let’s not forget reports that the POTUS is giving serious thought to sending ground troops into Iran.

He’s out of what passes for his mind.
