It will be over in two weeks they say . [View all]

We’ve sent a third aircraft carrier this tells me that they need more firepower because it’s not going according to their plan .
As for a plan I doubt they ever had one as i think this administration in their arrogance were in the mindset that this would be like the Venezuelan operation.

And now they indexed field training for the Eighty second well article states as of now just headquarters elements as the rest of division is still training.
And Karoline informing us that this administration will not rule out a draft. Leavitt saying this or the president is keeping his options open just speaks volumes to me in that this is not going well.

And remember last week Israel attacked southern Lebanon because they was getting indirect fire . And in my thinking this is a second front we’re locked in 100% to supporting the widening of this operation Epic fury or this is not actually a war.

This morning i have the max effective range of anxiety.
