I wonder how much time Pete Hegseth spends every day scribbling down ideas for "badass" names in a composition notebook like a bored teenager daydreaming about starting a rock band.

A very appropriate name given the sheer. amount of strategic planning.
Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
Worse. In Stellaris you have to declare a reason for war.
The number of times I've declared war on countries to reduce the lag in paradox games is astounding. My reasoning may be meta but at least it makes sense.
In civ a casus belli is only important diplomatically
I should check out of life for a few weeks of civ again…
So you can just attack at anytime without a checkbox saying why?
Yeah it's declaring a surprise war. You also don't give a reason for denouncing (which you have to do 10 turns before you're allowed to declare a formal war, assuming no cassus belli)
Peter Gabriel should sue!
Don't bring a sledge hammer to a drone fight. 😜
They might as well call it: Operation Completely Out Of Touch.
It really is middle school energy, that's just embarrassing.
Was there something about Operation Epstein Fury they didn't like?
This may be from the meme graveyard, but it has never been more appropriate:

Well, gosh, if a rebrand doesn't fix things, I don't know what will!
Remember when they initially called the Iraqi invasion "Operation Iraqi Liberation" but changed it because it spelled OIL. Same vibes.
You could have a steam train
If you just lay down your tracks
You could have an aeroplane flying
If you didn't park it within range of the drones.
They still don't have any plan, or even coherent excuse for being there... But they spent time coming up with a dumb ass grade school edgelord level nickname for their illegal war...
That's like the kids in grade 10 who have a band name and album art but haven't learned to play an instrument yet.
It's more like "Operation White Flag". Strategically, this ends in a major loss for the USA. The only winning move was not to play . . as every other US President since Jimmy Carter was smart enough to understand. The 2 remaining choices are: commit the entire DOD to a ground invasion of the Iran homeland . . or lose. And there is no sign the DOD is ramping up for a ground war.
I think the fascist's assumption is that things can't get much worse for them, so they might as well make their enemies suffer more as well:
"We can't take a bigger L than we already have, so by doubling down we can outlast Iran and the rest of the world. Even though we'll have to deal with increased energy costs and a worsening economy, many other nations will be hit harder as we have enough domestic production. Our domestic oil exec buddies can even sell for a profit at high prices. The November elections can't get any worse for us and our base will never truly falter, so now might be time to pivot towards rigging elections and nullifying Congress!"
Of course, things absolutely can get worse for America, as a prolonged closure will cause every nation on earth to totally abandon the US. Our economy can absolutely go into a deep depression if something else goes wrong, and the ripple effects from that could be monumental.
Well, you say nobody won, but tell that to all the inside traders who made bank from this war.
They should stick with their "E.F." motif. "Epstein Files", "Epic Fury", "Extreme Fuckery", "Extra Fries", and so on.
Bury Epstein Files or Cluster Fuck is more appropriate. Sledgehammer, lol, he missed and whacked his own shin!
Apparently bot Xi and Trump want to end Operation Epstein Fury. I don’t think Xi was thinking of this though.
