......that on some level he understands that a catastrophic loss of just one US warship and the horrific casualties that would result would

But definitely STUPID.

Trump's war was not planned carefully or strategically because Trump is an idiot.

Even Trump's hand-picked generals and admirals don't want this war.

The bazooka from WWII. As they strike it triggers explosives that melt a cone of copper.

That melted copper propelled by explosives can punch through steel. Then another charge sets off shrapnel.

In WWII even with advanced fighters and shells with proximity fuses the Navy could not stop every kamikaze.

They’re not afraid of Hormuz if the gloves are actually off. Of course, that would mean there’s a battle plan, which doesn’t seem apparent. The sailors, Marines and flyers are probably quite frustrated, despite what command says. Watching the enemy maneuver while doing nothing is infuriating.

I can pretty much guarantee that whatever horrific war crime he instigates, someone or something. will get the blame.
AI?
Don't forget that the OpenAI-Anthropic shitstorm immediately preceded the school bombing.

And whether a human or A.I. is the fall guy for "the big one" falling, I doubt that any pilot or crew (or chatbot) would say no.

AI or Pete?

Easy, AI is God.



Trump throws everyone close to him or who trusts him under the bus.
