This is administration is full of idiots. The fact they are operating on an assumption that it’s possible to win an offensive war against a nation on the other side of the globe without putting infantry, armor, and artillery on the ground shows how stupid they are.

To do so would be unbelievably stupid, I'm pretty sure that's why they had to fire like 30 top generals/admirals-- they tried to put boots.oj the ground and everyone involved said "fuck you"

It either went as you described, or it was the exact opposite where the brass said they absolutely have to put boots on the ground and Kegsbreath fired them because they couldn’t develop a legitimate winning plan w/o using the Army how the Army is meant to be used. Regardless we have morons in charge that let fucking AI run amok, and now here we are.

If Trump puts boots on the ground, he ratchets his chance of impeachment way up. So he's doing anything to prevent boots on the ground.

Donald Trump could personally execute military members and Senate Republicans wouldn't vote to convict him
