We have plans for war with everyone, including our allies…
when you know about it ,its not secret
weve got war plans for EVERY country
Ryan calling out Russian propaganda as he spews American and Ukrainian propaganda will never get old
Technically they have a plan for everyone, including if some forces go rogue.
Stop the presses! Folks, the Pentagon's Joint Staff J5's job is to propose strategies, plans, and policy recommendations for potential future threats. They have entire planning teams whose sole function is to come up with operational plans should any number of situations occur and they do this ahead of time. That is nothing new nor earth shattering.
I’m sure Iran has drawn up plans for what they’d do in a war against the US numerous times. This isn’t a scandal, it’s just what militaries do.
🌱 Sagar fish’s & smokes The Noble Plant ….. We just became Best Friends !!
We have met the terrorists and they are us.
I am old enough to remember when we were the good guys.
The people running our government are traitors to the principal of which our country was founded.
People tend to forget the BEST PROPERGANDA IS THE TRUTH. There is a tendency to view Properganda as lies, but that is rarely the case. Most times it is the spin that is the properganda not the actual facts. Thus when the US hits a target and civilians are killed, anti American properganda points out how heartless is the Americans for killing such civilians, while pro American properganda calls the civilians "Collateral damage" caused by the "Enemy" hiding among such civilians.
Notice the actual fact is the same in both statements, Civilians were killed in an attempt to kill the "Enemy". Everyone does this for the truth is the best properganda you just have to spin it in your favor.
The classic example of this is Kayla Forest where Stalin had Polish officers being held as POWs killed. When the area came under Nazi Control after the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, nothing happened at first. In the second year of occupation the Nazis found the camp and the bodies and made a huge properganda campaign about how the Soviets massacred those officers. Stalin denied this and later when the camp, fell back under Soviet Control, the Soviet redug up the camp to show it was the Nazis who did it.
Notice the Nazis stayed with the truth for it favored them, the Soviets lied for they had to cover up that crime (Under Putin, the Russian Federation admitted to the massacred and even permitted the Poles to put up a memorial to the killed at the camp).
The Soviets did the same with the death camps, whenever the Soviets liberated a death camp the Soviets showed them off to the world. Western reporters wrote those reports off as properganda till the US forces liberated German Concentration Camps and found out how bad those camp were. The Soviets and survivors then told the Western Allies while the Concentration Camps were bad, the Death Camps were worse.
When the Soviets first reported the Death Camps the Nazis denounced those claims as 'Properganda" and lies. In many ways what the Soviets reported as to the death Camps were properganda but it was the best type of properganda, the truth. Just like the Nazi properganda about the Kayla Forest was also the best type of properganda, again it was the truth.
middle east its their natural sphere of influence, since antiquity since first Persian Empire you have no right to be antagonistic to their interest and go around arm radical Sunni
i think you have misplaced sense of entitlement to be the dominant power in their neighborhood and think they are the problem because they not simply roll over like arabs do
Iranian are ancient proud people they were the first world superpower and revived it three-time last time was Safavid Empire
iran literally means land of Aryan and they are extremely opposed to outside power that's why not roman Empire not ottoman Empire and not American Empire could subjugate them the only problem here is unlike roman and ottoman that learned to live with Persians and respect them as equal you want to dominate them and that would never be going to happen.
remember emperor valerian defeated and captured by Iranian and used as footstool for king of kings shapur I
to be fair , pentagon has plans for war with Canada and England , they have plans for war with every single country on earth
This is not an original take, but man Ryan and Emily have really grown on me. At first I found their segment a little flat, but more and more I prefer the tone and synergy between these two. Great addition imo.
It’s obvious the world is transitioning to renewable energy and electric vehicles. I don’t not know why the US government has a hard on for Iran. We are the ones who turned it into a theocracy by overthrowing their democratically elected Prime Minister in the 1950s we replaced him with the shah. Country fell into shambles, and was overtaken by the radical theocrats.
The US needs to back away from the Israel govt and focus on reigning in the empire while focusing on Americans.
I'd be more surprised if they DIDN'T have a war plan for Iran
What Ryan just described as Russian Propaganda was actually all truth.
02:24.
I find it difficult to watch counter points. Love breaking points
I would be not only surprised, but outraged, if the Pentagon DIDN'T have a contingency play for a war with Iran.
This is DOD (Biden) shaking Iran's tree for helping Putin. But, at the same time making this public is like something the State Department would do to put the world-China (Russia allies) on notice of WWIII contingencies.
govt want to go to war…but can't even help homeless vets….can't wait for the soldiers to come back homeless or dead….send everyone but the govts kidz…..keeping the rich richer and send in the poor….lmao
Crazy. The story and Congress will probably remain silent.
The Pentagon runs simulations concerning war with just about everyone.
As the Boyscout motto says, "Be Prepared."
WELL ITS NOT SECRET ANYMORE IS IT. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEAVE THE WORLD ALONE AND TAKE CARE OF AMERICA BESIDES WEVE GIVEN ALL ARE RESOURCES TO UKRAINE AND MORE IS GOING OUT OUR THE DOOR. WHAT THE HELL HAS IRAN DONE NOW ? LEAVE ROW ALONE.
I’m never gonna get over how much more relaxed and expressive these are on this show.
Worst kept secret ever
This is nonsense. The Pentagon has "secret plan" for war almost every strategically important country / region of the world. Preparing these scenarios is literally their job. What are they supposed to tell the commander in chief if he/she asks for a war plan for such and such a strategic country / region? "Oh, we never got around to planning a scenario for that". Really? Whether or not the CIC plans to do anything or not you have to do your job. Come on people. Get a clue.
Can you PLEASE put the playlists in order?
They know they will start the war before the election because Trump might not go along with it. They are trying hard to start a war somewhere for sure
it's no secret that america has plans against our enemies. hell, back in the 90's a documentary showed we have a plan in case aliens invade.
I'm starting to realize this world is run by a bunch of idiots who are going to get us all killed.
Someone help me out – is this accurate? ( Honest question, not trying to start an argument. )
"In its more than 240 year history, there have only been 16 years in which the US was not at war. From the end of WW2 to 2001, the US has started 201 of the 248 armed conflicts in 153 locations, accounting for over 80 percent of total wars fought. In only the last 20 years, wars and military operations by the US have claimed more than 800,000 lives and displaced tens of millions of people."
This is such a dumb story… how can you claim to be a decently educated and informed person and not know that the Pentagon has detailed contingency plans for damn near everything…? Who is shocked by this? What story next… U.S. has war plans for North Korea and China er ma gawg who wudda known!?
Emily, your constant disdain , snide comments you think are so funny at Ryan's expense show what kind of a person you are. Feels like CBS , or fox . I dont like it , and it destroys the environment Saagar and Krystal have created here, You need to shut your nasty hole and realize, your not why many of us are here, Ryan is.
AIPAC-Hand Rubbing (((Intensifies)))
I hope to have secret warplans for every country. That's their job.
I've grown from being super pro iraq war to thinking war is super ggg and never the answer. I'd Bud Dwyer myself immediately of I got drafted
Saager and Ryan smoke? Respect.
I think the only new aspect is that they have apparently outsourced the decision to Israel. Basically saying you can attack whenever you want and the US is so subservient, they'll just jump in afterwords. But without the deal and enhanced inspections, there is no way to know what they have and if they already have one. Russia's offer to help makes it even murkier.
Can’t imagine Ryan noodling.
They have a secret plan for war with anyone lol. That's their job.
They have a plan for invading Canada too lmao
NO MORE WARS for 🇮🇱.
I'm tired of hearing about war with the middle east. I think we should take all weapons away from monotheists. That would stop most of the wars and bloodshed on the planet.
I expect the Pentagon to have a secret plan for a war with Canada. If they didn't then I would be really, really upset with them. Planning for contigencies like this, even if they're unlikely, is literally their job.
Don't be stupid, the military has war plans for 'every' country on the planet. It's kinda part of their job, you know? To plan and prepare… I imagine that they've wargamed wars against England, Canada, bumf' anywhere, even possible alien invasions.
