    Yes, it’s a huge fuckup.

    Yes, saying it is the “worst, literally of all time” is not true. At all.

    Worst strategic fuckup would include, say, the US itself being decimated. There’s a bunch of examples of that kind of thing in history.

      Like, just in modern(ish) history - Operation Barbarossa like someone else mentioned. Operation Somme. Little Bighorn. Operation Market Garden. The Vietnam War escalation. Etc etc.

      Go back through “all time” and there’s way worse strategic decisions. I mean, did you really think “all time” was that limited…? Are you forgetting, like, the majority of what you know about human history…?

      Still, this was a major, stupid, 1000% Trumpesque fuckup.
