You just completely evaded an answer . Did you watch the deposition of our head of intelligence or not? That is not a bias, its HER direct words. So, what are your thoughts? You wanted to play the game mod or not. The head of our intelligence refuted (subjectively) your claim. Be a stand up flight lead and own the debrief my friend.

Honestly, I don’t know. It’s hard to separate the various biases, which includes media reporting, and know what the real truth is.

Maybe, just maybe, the greatest nation in the world with the most powerful and advanced military in this history of humanity should really make sure that their assessment is correct before alienating allies and creating a worldwide economic disaster.

Or, even better: Take into account the facts that intelligence assessments are often flawed, incomplete, or flat out wrong, that wars often become messy, unpredictable, and uncontrollable, that the enemy gets a vote, and that there is no greater ask of the American people than that of sending their sons and daughters into battle. This is never an endeavor to be taken lightly.
And yet every single indication so far suggests that the administration has not done any more due diligence than their usual none. In fact, I’m surprised we didn’t see Elon Musk on stage waving a chainsaw around to kick off the party. |

Just an observation my friend. I understand there are many reasons for many Americans to like the direction the current admin is going. While I don’t share too many of those reasons, I’d like to think that any objective observer could agree that caution and measure are not strengths generally shared by the current CINC and the people he’s surrounded himself with. Happy to entertain any counter argument you may have with that thought.
It’s a tough job under the best of circumstances. And corporate Washington DC never has liked outsiders. It chewed up Jimmy Carter. |

I think that I might agree with that latter opinion. Although I have to wonder if it is innate to his personality or a function of how many people, even in his own party and the Washington establishment, tried to stab him in the back during his first term. The near miss in the public assassination couldn’t have helped either.
