This is just insane...

Yes the DoD has war plans on how to attack anyone at need... Heck there almost certainly are plans for how to handle an insane UK.

The President can ask for these plans at any time.

That doesn't mean the DoD wants to actually carry out those plans.... but then why did Donald ask for them?

    Honestly? It probably irritated trump that he had a “big, the biggest, red button” and he was never allowed to actually push said button.

    Trump probably was hoping one of those plans involved nuking Iran, just so he could push said button.

    It's very interesting how Mark Milley seemed to have a few plans active in case a deranged Trump somehow got the military entangled in conflicts both internally (jan 6) and externally (potential unhinged war against Iran, per his request for invasion plans)

    But that's actually beside the point here -- what's funny is how he was so insulted by Milley's book claiming he was unhinged and wanted to attack Iran that he basically went completely out of control and started waving said top secret documents to a staffer and the accompanying ghost writer. It's literally like poring oil on an open flame!
