Well this report is good but the fact that we are hearing about it is not good.
The Pentagon should always be drafting plans. That’s what they’re there for.
This report is absolute BS. Standard procedure (for anyone that has been in the military know it well), is to plan for all contingencies. What is the purpose of this story? To paint Trump as some vengeful madman with his finger on the trigger? BS. It is a propaganda piece, nothing more. I assure you that we have plans to attack Russia in a hundred different ways. Is that newsworthy? So what. It is a hit piece, and nothing more. It is designed to add to the hysteria and to paint Trump in their own caricature. They selling a soft coup. Don’t trust anything that you see in the media and always ask what the purpose of the article is. What are the actual facts? I loved how they tried to legitimize it by adding and un-named source. “It definitely rattled people,” a former senior US administration official told the newspaper. “People were shocked. It was mind-boggling how cavalier they were about hitting Iran.” Who the hell was that? Susan Rice?
Smells like smoke to me.
“Well this report is good but the fact that we are hearing about it is not good.”
According to Jordan Peterson, during a crisis with the Soviet Union Nixon told his negotiators, “You tell them that I’m a total nut case and I want to go to DEFCON III.” The negotiators were able to resolve the crisis. You can bet that much of what you see in the news about Trump’s willingness to knock heads is planted there because he wants it there. It is better to bluster and win by intimidation than to remain stoic and have to win by killing a bunch of people.
Incidentally, if previous presidents wanted a paper to run a story they could have had somebody call and ask. Now, I’m sure this administration will have to find somebody to act like they’re selling them out to get a story published. The media has changed in the last forth years.
