What message does this send The American People?
Yep. Even bad answers are answers. The war in Iraq was based on terrible reasoning but that's hindsight. At the time the Bush administration laid out what they thought (or at least what they wanted us to think) was going on in Iraq and gave both the world and American citizens a justification for war.
We don't have a clue why we are doing this in Iran and it seems clear that the administration doesn't either. This is going to be us bombing the hell out of them for reasons, calling it good and going home. There doesn't seem to be any logic other than that. It's like a 10 year old is playing Civilization and just got nukes.
Unfortunately some people seem to like that message.
That also reminds of the John Oliver story this past weekend about the USAID cuts. Extremely depressing. Yes I know Oliver is extremely biased, but when he is right, he is right.

Once again, people need to give up voting for millionaires and billionaires, especially ones like Trump that were born filthy rich.

A Marine Expeditionary Unit is built to launch amphibious and ground invasion missions on short notice, signaling that the U.S. military is preparing for a rapidly escalating scenario in the region.

The term is defined as refusing to spare surrendering troops and killing them instead, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hegs...&utm_source=Facebook&utm_campaign=us_politics

Seems like it should be a bigger story that Pete Hegseth declined to confirm the number of American casualties in the Iran war.
