Maybe that’s something that should have been considered before Trump and Netanyahu started their war.
“For Now” is quite something, given that to change the situation they’d need to pull at least a few dozen competently built and designed frigates out of their ass, when they haven’t developed a decent escort craft of any sort since the Soviet Union was kicking around
Just another empty promise. His specialty
Well Duh, what kind of idiot would promise a safe escort….
It’s the US way plan & implement the initial assault after that it’s come what may regardless of how much chaos it may cause the rest of us living on planet Earth.
Wow … almost sounds like something EXPERIENCED people who formerly ran the Pentagon might have known beforehand …
Someone told him they were *stealth* vessels didn’t they? And like the F-35, he thought that meant invisible. 🤦
