It is so bonkers to me, as a civilian, that our government gets into these wars without any idea of what victory means, and so many Americans don't give a second thought to the prospect of a indefinite (ie, permanent) war. In the case of Yemen, they apparently didn't even plan the logistics well, given the stories about ammunition running low.
It's almost as if a drunk sailor was put in charge of this debacle.
Apart from just mercenary vengeance for the Israels and Saudi Arabia, what exactly was the point here?
Or... senile geriatrics?
Or both.
Or a reality star and news reader. Even if they weren't both cooked in their heads, it's still a reality star running a country and a news reader running the military.
Oh, does a friend from a different country play it for you?
Lmao
