This tells me they have zero defense mechanisms in place to protect these bases. Probably something they should have thought of before starting a war that makes no sense

Trump doesn't care.

They are all complaining and delaying.

Where have we heard THAT before?

Just change the labeling and it becomes OK. Your third eye doesn't have to be open to see through that one!

Everyone who works in these offices or hotels will know who the US military personnel are. Military members will stick out like a sore thumb. It will be relatively easy to disrupt operations, communications or both. It depends on the continuing good will of the Gulf states who, at some point, might not feel their investments in Trump are protecting them.

There are some deeply disturbed bastards running the show.

not only that they'd do it, but that the entire world would know where they are.
A friend of mine's son joined the army before Nov2024. I'm worried about him. Tried calling her but no luck. I can only imagine what she must be going through right now.

… the Chinese made drones which are getting real time targeting data from Russian satellites.
Trump is losing this war. Way to go Donny.

Data centers, desalination, bridges, suburbs… infrastructure like WWII. Talk of nukes and terror campaigns at parks… ghastly.

War doesn’t care. War doesn’t ask. War eats what it wants until nations break. War drives the world mad. War laughs at rules.

The very best of us think we can train it, socialize it, and apply ethics and conventions it will heed.

It cares little what either of us want.

There are good reasons war is personified.

No way this ends up like the attack on the US Embassy in Lebanon back in ‘83. Just can’t see that happening…at all. Nope.

Hogsbreath and Trump are making up their own rules of war.

Trump plays the Supreme Chicken. Of course Hegseth is deeply involved in this mess.

have any properties nearby, but isn't that just the sort of thing he would do? AND charge quadruple the going rate for the rooms???
