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.

Wait until 60 days and we recall them for 24 hours just to turn around and... redeploy in the same place.

There hasn’t been a declared war since WWII so on this there’s not much difference than how we’ve operated since the 50’s

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.

This is just a test to see if he can get away with it. Everything he does is poking the bear to see if it attacks. But, the ameribear is dead. He will be using this same method of bypassing Congress and the Supreme Court to declare martial law and take over the country as an official dictatorship.

At this point I'd rather have them say it's illegal right now and keep going with the murdering of people without pointless interruptions that gets us nowhere.

Trumps dumber than dumb

Because this isn't a war, as only Congress can declare war. This is just one of Trump's special military operations.

It’s different because it’s under a president he supports, duh. /s

"Plan" is just a fancy word for "urges and yes-men".

For sure. There are many words longer than 5 letters. And certainly his base can't read the bulk of this.

Yeah, NOTHING in ALL CAPS.

It's not like there's ever been a precedent for that sort of thing.

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'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.

But jumping into a war with no clear objectives worked so well in Vietnam!

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?

Of Iranian school children.

Mass murder.

You can be certain Mossad has had this as a war plan for years and they finally got their payment from Epstein to sign off on it

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.

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.

That fat tub of walking gonorrhoea never has a plan, it's just stumbling from one child-like reaction to the next toddler tantrum.

The question is: did he even read it before it got sent over?

It seems like having a staffer draft the letter isn't a huge deal, but a normal president would personally approve it, I imagine.

The "if we don't attack them there, they'll attack us here" has been working as a great excuse for endless wars for as long as I can remember so I don't see why it wouldn't work on american voters this time
