Trump Has Built a House of Cards | Anchor Watch with Bobby Jones

Trump went to war promising strength, deterrence and results. Months later, the Anchor Watch crew is looking around and asking a pretty basic question: What exactly was the plan?

Because the Strait of Hormuz has been disrupted, America’s allies are recalculating their relationships, military stockpiles are under strain, and Trump’s supposed unpredictability is looking a whole lot less like 4D chess and a whole lot more like somebody knocking the board over. Bobby’s assessment gets even simpler: you can’t have a strategy without goals — and he argues those goals never existed.

No goals. No strategy. Quite an expensive way to figure that out.

So what does the “new normal” actually look like? And how much damage will the next administration have to clean up?

Bobby Jones, Sam Osterhout and Sean dig into Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, America’s depleted military capacity, Trump’s proposed battleships, the Air Force One controversy, the intelligence community and the increasingly difficult question of what comes next.
