“The strength of the United States lies not only in military power, but in the constitutional order that governs its use. Decisions of war and peace must be lawful, strategically coherent, and accountable to the American people.”
“Analysts said that the sharing of intelligence would fit the pattern of Iran’s strikes against U.S. forces, including command and control infrastructure, radars and temporary structures, like the one in Kuwait where six service members were killed.”
So right up until the election.

The Iran/US/Israel war might have already broken the record for the highest number of AI-generated videos and images that have gone viral during a conflict.

The U.S. torpedoed a ship w/ 180 crew that was 2k miles from Iran
It had just been in a joint exercise that....the US had also been in.
The ship “thought it was safe in international waters,” said Hegseth, “instead, it was sunk by a torpedo,”
Just 32 survivors.

😂 A twofer.
I prefer Miller be in a meeting with someone else by the window.
Caine works closely with one of the most politically polarizing figures in the Trump administration, Trump's deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, on how to best carry out the US military's operations inside the US and around Latin America, the sources said. Miller often phones Caine directly, asking for ways to put a plan into action. Caine's careful planning to deliver options and not push decisions stands in contrast to the way Trump now views Milley, whose portrait was taken down from a wall in the Pentagon on day one of the administration and had his security detail revoked by Hegseth — on Trump's orders — days later.
Sounds about right. Guess the mystery is whether and when he’s conflicted.
Also, how far should he go to do a good job if the job is “how to best carry out the US military’s operations inside the US” when advising Stephen Miller.

A recently retired senior officer who previously worked with Caine told CNN that officers wondered why he'd been chosen in the first place, when there's "obviously some expectation of loyalty" by Trump, and Caine is not the type to prioritize that over his loyalty to his oath as an officer. "Caine is a person of high emotional intelligence," the recently retired senior officer said, "because he hasn't gotten sideways with anyone, and he's generally recognized as a team player."
Exactly what was puzzling.
Have been wondering what to make of Gen. Caine.
This article from last week written three days before attacking Iran is an excellent piece on the General.
Even some military officials aren’t clear where he stands.
Recommend reading.

The administration told them there’s one of 4 things going to happen here, in order of most to least likely:
- terrorist attacks in US
- Iran dramatically ramps conventional strikes
- u.s. ground invasion
- u.s. nuclear strike

Trump’s lies are often a tell, addressing something he’s feeling vulnerable about.
Under that interpretation, “virtually unlimited supply of weapons” means the depletion is real and serious, most likely with air defense interceptors the biggest concern.

It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...
Me too.
Has anyone reported the names yet of the American service members who were killed?
