The warnings — detailed for #Hegseth by the heads of the #Army, #Navy & #AirForce & the four-star commanders overseeing #US operations throughout #Europe, #Asia & #LatinAmerica — appear in the Aug 14 edition of the Secretary of Defense Orders Book ( #SDOB ), these people said. They described the assessment to WaPo on the condition of anonymity because the document is #classified.

#Trump just keeps #killing #Americans
The #US announced another death of a service member as it launched more #airstrikes at #Iran Sunday in “response” to the killing of US troops, & Iran fired missiles toward #Jordan that risked widening the conflict into neighboring #Israel.
The US military said the service member was killed in #Iraq Saturday during a “controlled detonation” [doesn’t sound controlled] of a downed Iranian drone.

#Senate advances’measure to limit #Trump #WarPowers in #Iran with #GOP defections
The Senate advanced a measure Tuesday aimed at restricting Trump’s #war powers by requiring approval by #Congress for any future military action in #Iran [the freaking #law].

Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at CSIS, said if the #military has fired >800 #Tomahawks against #Iran, “that would be about a quarter of the total inventory & would leave a large gap for a conflict in the Western Pacific.” His think tank assesses that the Navy may have had as few as 3,100 Tomahawks on hand at the start of the #war a month ago.
“It would take several years to replenish,” Cancian said.#kakistocracy #idiocracy #TrumpsWar #Trump #law #Congress #WarPowers #geopolitics #MiddleEast

A lawyer from a lower middle class background, #CiliaFlores began her political rise in the 1990s, becoming close to #HugoChávez — the former president who was #Maduro’s mentor & predecessor — while he was imprisoned after a failed #coup attempt in 1992. She steadily climbed the ranks of Chávez’s socialist movement, known as #chavismo, becoming a central figure in #Venezuela #legislature.

At the time of #EmilBove's comments, #Trump had only been back in office for a month. The White House had made clear that combatting drug #cartels & transnational criminal gangs was a priority, but few could envision that 6 months later the US would be blowing up suspected drug boats in the #Caribbean Sea & Eastern #Pacific Ocean.

#Trump #DOJ ofcl said #US should just “sink” boats in the #Caribbean
At a DOJ conference in Feb, then-acting DAG #EmilBove told the DOJ's top #drug prosecutors that the Trump admin wasn't interested in interdicting suspected drug vessels at sea anymore. Instead, he said, the US should "just sink the boats," acc/to 3 people present for the speech.
