The Joint Chiefs

Last edited Tue Nov 24, 2020, 12:03 PM - Edit history (1)

So, the news about the B-52 bombers has me edgy. I know that the military conducts many operations that are ordinary. But.

I do not believe Trump is done. I think this whole election clown show has been for something other than the stated reasons. I am worried about what he is doing in the ME.

If he wants to bomb Iran, I don't think he can just do that. For instance, there is that deal about Congress declaring war. I also think that he will fire all the Joint Chiefs first. But, if he fires even one, I am going to really worry--but, I don't clutch pearls.

Tell me it'll be okay.

yet I think the JCS will mull over any request the orange menace makes and consult the President-elect first. If that is something that can be done. The orange menace is a true lame duck now. Joe and Kamala have this.

Pompeo is in on it, because he wants his Second Coming, however...
I don't think it's much more than posturing to keep Iran in check, as it were, on the part of the US military. I don't trust Bibi, as he seems to be losing it. And I certainly don't trust MBS because he's an arrogant SOB who might try to strike Iran while he still has Jarad in his corner.
They're both running out of time -60 more days.

Trump, not so much.

Should the unstable Moron give an illegal order, he’s toast.
