Description

A war begins. The response was predictable. The shock wasn’t supposed to be. As the conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States expands across the region, a central failure comes into focus: the lack of strategic planning. After expressing shock at Iran’s retaliation, military experts make clear that no serious planner would have been surprised. The result is a widening conflict, with ripple effects across multiple countries and no clear end in sight. We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

“Nobody expected that. We were shocked.” Pure ignorance on display. 13 service members killed, 200 injured, 175 school girls dead, 1000+ Iranians perished so far. Time has come for US to remove Trump from office.
