Actually that’s pretty much what we thought, but it’s good to get a second opinion from someone on the inside.
basically yeah
I was under the impression that he declared war on brown people with no fucking plan whatsoever because he's racist, under the false impression that being at war means he can stay in office no matter what (despite his entire life being filled with counterexamples), and him trying to distract from his close ties with and probable crimes as a child rapist.
I actually don't know how it could be worse
Tbf it's working for Netanyahu
Maybe our losses are much worse than we currently know
One can only hope
The story keeps changing because they don't want to admit that this was done to touch off Armageddon, and bring on The Rapture. The soldiers were specifically told that by their commander. The reason is literally "because God told us to."
At least 200 soldiers have filed formal complaints.
Do you have a source for that quote? I would like to send it to some people.
It's not a controversial issue, or a conspiracy theory. It's been well-documented:
US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges
This feels relevant in light of recent events:

There's a huge number of articles about it

We need better numbers.
The very best numbers, like no one has ever seen before. Big numbers, strong numbers, decimals streaming down their faces.
Ah, so it's much better than I thought on one side.
Question is, how much of a plan does Iran have?
Seems like they've been preparing for this for a long while.
Shades of "John Kerry would have done the Iraq war right!"
by not doing it?
You mean the guy who was Defense Secretary when the JCPOA (Iran nuclear deal) was struck? The guy who explicitly avoided a war?
The plan is civil war and failed state
He then went on to be a Reservoir Dog, but was killed by a cop. Rest in power Mr Brown.
That's not wisdom, it's violence.
An eye for an eye makes the world blind.
Now watch as Warren does nothing that stops it from happening.
She will SLAM the Republicans and rip their shirts for show. That's the role for democrats fascism.

"Wow, are you going to give further details?"
"Then we might have to actually do something, so... no. But hey, elections are coming up! Maybe we can form a committee to look into it in the next ten to sixteen months if we win."
Hey, friendly reminder that this bitch voted for Marco Rubio right along with everyone else in the Senate.
Please don’t use that sexist insult.
It’s literally my job.
What did you think I was expecting, Elizabeth Warren?
USA is a failed state
It's a failed democracy / humane state. It's doing wonderfully as a dictatorship. The rich are profiting quite a bit off this I'm sure.
I guess with my first comment I won't get a visa for the USA anymore
Failed states are often performing well for a small group. But Failed states are performing really bad for the vast majority of the population.
That's a slong a month long. Is it missing a hyphen?

Why would they warn them?
I was under the impression that Trump launched this war to have a pretense to give money to the weapons industry. Because more weapons -> higher profit -> higher stock valuations, and as we all know, Everything's Fine as long as the Dow Jones is over 50k.
Like, literally anything that happens makes the economy go up, as long as anything happens at all. When you build schools, the economy goes up, because somebody has to build these schools. When you build rail network, economy goes up. When you start a war and produce lots of weapons, economy goes up.
I wonder why the economy is always made to go up in ways that hurt people, instead of ways that, you know, actually help people.
Lol, like any US president needs justification for that ever. I mean it's a geopolitical event and the military-industrial complex certainly is one of the major lobby groups pushing for this (or any) confrontation, not disputing that.
But the immediate reason for Trump seems to be the (seemingly working) distraction from the escalating Epstein scandal. He already learned that war and the resulting market volatility is a great way to "flood the zone with shit" when he attacked Iran last year, and that being his primary objective also neatly accounts for the apparent lack of an exit strategy and clearly defined war goals.
Again, not saying it's the only reason why this war is happening in general, but probably the main one to Trump anyway. Which Warren seems to be confirming with her testimony here, saying there is simply no coherent reason presented for it even under secrecy.
You can also increase social spending and make the economy go up because people have money to spend. Except that's communism.
Release the Epstein Files
It always is, Liz.
It always is.

You see boys and girls, if you want to take Putin out of the Kremlin and control all Soviet oilfields, this is how you do it. Start from Venezuela, then Iran, Russia will fall in less than one year seeing the effort NATO has already put in over the years to break up the Soviet Union. Then China will be the last one standing before we run over Shanghai.
