    If your country has a plan to go to war with every other country in the world and a warmonger gets elected then one of those plans will be implemented regardless of whether its justified. See: Iraq, Iran

    The next fascist that gets elected will probably start a war with China regardless of the Taiwan situation.

        Naw, these plans were sitting around for a long time. Trump just picked them up and ran with them, even though a lot of stuff is out-of-date. The biggest clue is the the girl’s school bombing, it was once part of an IRGC compound ten-ish years ago.

          No he didn’t follow a plan. The plans said things like Iran would counter attack and try to close the strait. Trump and his team didn’t even look at the plans. They went with Netanyahu’s suggestion

          The biggest clue to that bombing is them admitting they asked AI for targets and it delivered outdated info

            Outdated info from where?

            Seems to me like it would have come from plans drawn up 10+ years ago about where to target.

              They didn’t even evacuate their bases in advance! They didn’t even install air defenses at them! They did nothing whatsoever to prepare! They just assumed instant success!

              I genuinely don’t know why you’re giving them the benefit of the doubt.

              None of us here knows the truth, and I would posit that it’s just as likely, if not more likely, that that school was targeted intentionally, as it was used for the children of IRGC officers.
