May he choke on his own flayed cock force fed to him... but he's really quite the idiot. If he hadn't fired the competent leaders of the military, he could have just asked them to pull the pre-made plans out of the file drawer. I don't remember if it was at the end of bush's term, or when Assange released documents, but there was a period where the fact was being talked about on everything from radio stations to the local pubs that the US had 'just in case' plans for many of their allies. I would also put money on most countries having vague guidelines and goals drawn up for emergencies where a dickhead in an allied country takes power.

Wow. Really? Like really really?
We're now gonna massacre a bunch of Panamanians for a shipping canal? Fuck.
Well, now that they clearly have great OPSEC, I hope Panama sabotages the hell out of it.
I think Panama did say they'd destroy the canal before they'd allow it to be taken. I took a cursory look for that tidbit, but the news feeds about the canal are blown up at the moment.

Isn’t the Panama Canal basically running out of water? They should act like they’ve been cowed, sell it to us for a ton of money, and laugh all the way to the bank.
The title is wildly over hyping this news. He said to plan multiple strategies, not to gear up for an invasion. Of course the military is gonna plan a war scenario. This is not the frightening headline its made out to be, shock the military plans stupid ways to put boots on the ground, the military LOVES to plan wars. Click baity for sure!
While they do report multiple strategies and I'm sure that's true, the fact that explicitly unprovoked military invasion is even on the table at all deserves every bit of outrage.
Click bait, yes, but leave it up to trump to say the quiet part out loud over and over.
People should be afraid of what's coming
