    That would take strategic planning, steps to follow, etc. That’s not how MAGA works. They don’t think past the initial bombing attack, because blowing shit up is wicked cool, and enough reason to have a war.

    “We blowed them up so good, they won’t be able to retaliate! Wait, why are there missiles coming back at us? They are shooting at US? But we obliterated them! Somebody help us! Why won’t anybody help us?!”

      I disagree with the war and have utter contempt for this US administration. However, the US military seems still quite capable of planning and executing highly effective operations, if their abduction of Maduro is anything to go by.

        That was an Operation, not a War. It’s the difference between a run to the grocery store, and a cross country drive.

        Big difference in scope.

          Agreed, that’s why it seems like they’re treating this situation like a series of operations rather than a war.
