“ They have to start a war. Their poll numbers are down.”

and the economy is about to crash.

“About to crash?”

We are like Wile-coyote who just ran off the cliff—hanging in the air. The end result is not in question. We are simply paused for comic effect.

Yes. The government seems to sense that they have made a lot of bad decisions:

They are not polling well — their policies are unpopular with the people.
The economy is crashing — their policies are destroying life savings.
Cities are being abandoned — their policies are causing crime to sky rocket and law-abiding citizens feel abandoned.
Illegal immigration is out of control — their policies have erased the border.

And so, in their hour of desperation, they will make one more decision — they will start a war. Probably with a nuclear power that has been bluntly stating that they will use nukes if attacked.

Let's see if this decision is better than those other decisions.
