Looks like The White House is just winging it, and there’s no plan whatsoever:
A recent internal assessment from the Defense Intelligence Agency that was circulating inside the Pentagon in recent weeks determined that Iran could potentially keep the passage shut for anywhere from one to six months, four sources familiar with the document told CNN. But White House and Pentagon officials insisted that the assessment — particularly the longer end timeframe, which some consider a worst-case scenario — was not being seriously considered.
You are completely wrong regarding Ukraine. Russia clearly had multiple plans in place:
Plan A: Push into Donbas and do another spearhead towards Kiev to force negotiations. This almost worked, if not for british pedophile Boris Johnson going to Kiev to tell Zelensky that the west would never accept a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia and keep arming Ukraine.
Plan B: Attrition. Take down Ukrainian strongholds in Donbas bit by bit and destroy their army. This is the current one.
Russia was prepared for things to get ugly, the US isn’t.
Thanks for the detailed reply. I had been called stupid on other replies, I appreciate your time on explaing why my comment got so much hate.
And yes, as a Brit, I fucking hate that slimy Boris (which isn’t even his first name)
I would like to add that Russia transitioned to drone warfare after partnership with Iran. At first they were at disadvantage against Ukraine in this regard, but now this disadvantage is gone.
True but that was just advancing warfare technology, not a change of the overall plan.
