Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, repeatedly warned Trump that Iran would likely disrupt the Strait of Hormuz in response to a U.S. attack, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.
Trump, 79, told his administration that he thought Iran would capitulate to the U.S. before it closed the Strait, adding that even if the Strait was threatened, the U.S. military could handle it.
Every policy Trump has is the kind of shite that some drunken asshole at a bar trots out, usually preferenced with “Why don’t we just…”
that’s the kind of attitude i loathe in real life. “I’ve thought about it for 5 minutes and reached a hasty conclusion and everyone is stupid for not having thought of it”, except everybody has thought of it minute 1, some have even tried it, and we know it doesn’t work.
