Anything to distract from the Epstein files.
That was the only reason trump planned the Alaska trip
What files? Asking for a friend ✝️
drawing up
Doesn’t DoD have detailed attack plans for every nation already?
Yes but this is a bad headline. The article is about specifically using US military to attack cartels, which the Trump administration has already made legal for themselves by recategorizing them as terrorists.
It is still a violation of both international law and common sense.
I imagine most militaries have contingency plans against enemies and allies ready to go. Wouldn’t be much of a defensive force without them. (I know that the US is not a defensive force. I live here. We will 100% take over your country for borderline no reason.)
Doesn’t DoD have detailed attack plans for every nation already?
Yep. I would be more surprised if there wasn’t an attack plan for any country with more than 5m people.
He’s trying to imitate Putin. Probably go about as well as it has for Putin as well.
And China

Why? What’s even the end goal? A war to stay in office maybe?
Martial Law is definitely on his wishlist.
If this was a competent president. I would probably give them the benefit of the doubt.
But we all know Trump only cares about one thing. And it’s not the US. It’s himself.
He may very well be under the impression that it will somehow give him more time in office, or it’s just some way for him to try and get better approval rating. How he is percieved by the US is of major importance to his ego.
He hates how his approval is lower than Obamas. And he probably hates how his approval is lower than G.W.Busch.
G.W.Busch had an approval rating of around ~60%. Then a certain incident happened and his approval went to as high as 92% at a certain time.
Trump might, for some reason. Think that him starting/provoking a war will give him a similar boost.
Ofc to you and me it sounds insane and we know that’s not going to improve his rating. But we are reasonable, normal people with common sense.
Ah, roght out of Isreals play book, invade a country on the basis of eliminating terrorists/gangs
Ehm… the US doesn’t need to use someone’s else’s copy of the book they wrote.
Pretty much every nation with an army has attack plans against its’ neighbours, just in case. Actually using them, of course, is quite another thing. Unless you need to be really on your toes because of an unpredictable, aggressive and vicious southern neighbour like -not to name anyone- Austria.
Most other countries aren’t currently ran by a dementia addled pedophile who’s desperate to become a king.
Heads of state do not design attack plans. Strategists do. In other words, all these generals have to do something for their money, so they breed over attack and defense scenarios of any imaginable situation so they can be perfectly unprepared if one of them really becomes real.
Of course. They’ve got half a dozen attack plans for each country with more than a prop plane at their disposal.
Still bodes ill that this president and this state dept are advertising that fact.
Right. Actually, that’s a common known fact but nevertheless not a very popular thing to mention in public.
US - China proxy war of attrition coming or nah? Americans finally understanding the horrors of war might push their society into positive change…
There’s a lot of countries that are sick of china’s shit, I think the US would actually have a lot of support in a proxy war.
? Username appropriate, I guess, lol.
Oh, well thats nice of them, I guess. Who is Mexico attacking?
Faltering empires always flail about militarily. Part of the death throes.
That said. It would almost be worth him doing it just to see what happens when Mexico invokes Article 5.
Deport military age immigrants to Mexico, then attack. Brilliant plan
They’re not really though or else we wouldn’t hear about it until invasion day. It’s more of his art of the deal bullshit
nah its just a distraction from the Epstein Files. nothing will really happen with these war plans
