All is going according to plan:

I did. It’s all going as planned. Found a vidya that summarizes it.

For those curious: it’s just an analysis by the Brookings think tank. It has nothing to do with the official position of US agencies.
And for bonus points, it’s basically just a list of every possible approach, starting with diplomatic approaches at the top:
It’s “all going to plan” in the same way “guessing all 52 cards in the deck until one of them is right” is a magic trick
Actually given your comment, it’s more like someone else listing all the cards until it’s right, and then just saying “tada” when they say the right one
I just provided a link that shows sometimes those guesses have merit. But continue to dismiss those trying to provide background information. I’m sure it won’t lead us like it did in Iraq or to WW3.
Edit: Let’s look at the careers of the signees of this foreign policy document:
So, this paper isn’t just for fun. These people are CIA, ambassadors, advisors and served in administrations. This is the shit that gets things done in Washington. To dismiss it is negligent.
I, too, enjoy reading only half a comment.
The issue isn’t “providing background context,” it’s presenting an advisory document of all the possible approaches to a diplomatic scenario as being some sort of conspiracy, rather than the result of some people literally just doing the job they are paid to do.
By just linking an enormous document and presenting it as if it were some massive revelation, you’re basically just relying on people not bothering to read the document and accepting the inference that the document actually just says only the thing that has happened.
Yeah, sure. War is spontaneous, and not planned at all. It’s not a revelation or conspiracy, it’s years of groundwork and planning. I displayed that war with Iran has been in the works for at least a decade. You- it’s a conspiracy.
You’re (intentionally?) misunderstanding literally every sentence of my comment
If all of this is true, my statement still stands. Practically every decision America makes towards Iran has been planned and contemplated.
So. A plan. Just like I stated in my original comment.
Ftfy
No shit they consider decisions before making them lmfao
No, these people are former CIA, ambassadors, etc that have pivoted to a think tank, which is common. There is a revolving door just like in any ecosystem of industries/entities that overlap. Also, the document addresses multiple strategies.
former CIA. lol 😂 Revolving door! Your words.
I never said this attack is in the document. I’m only showing that the Warhawks in and out of think tanks in the government have been contemplating and planning for a war with Iran.
The military and think tanks plan for everything. But no, they have no plans for Iran. Just lots of former government officials earning 3 figure salaries for funsies.
Yes, every professional field has adjacent areas of operation. Geneticists aren’t going to work in astrophysics and truck drivers aren’t suddenly going to child education conferences. That’s what the revolving door refers to. Shocking, I know.
Point?
Because you make the revolving door sound like a nefarious scheme and I’m telling you it’s the most common thing for professionals in similar fields to intermingle.
For those curious: the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) was a think tank in D.C. that provided the blueprint for the war in Iraq.
