Oh forgot, Iran. You want to keep the North Koreans, Russians, Iranians and Chinese from thinking President Trump is an isolationist wimp.
“Hip-hip hoo-ray. Now they can view him as a deranged lunatic.”
There is an advantage to having foreign powers think Trump is a “deranged lunatic”. They are more unlikely to F*ck with him because they will fear the response.
Everyone chill. What is likely to happen from tonight’s action? The Russians are going to tell the Syrian government to stop the chemical attacks so they don’t provoke the “deranged lunatic”. And the Syrian government will stop. Problem solved. Well at least 1 problem solved.
“There is an advantage to having foreign powers think Trump is a deranged lunatic.”
Yes, there is an advantage, but not for the U.S.population. The foreign powers make alliances to take out the “deranged lunatic”. Review you history, these types of leaders are usually taken down.
