The two most likely possibilities, as I see it:
1. Trump has already worked this all out with Putin, and any air strikes will just be Kabuki theater.
2. Trump has succumbed to the lure of being a “war president.”
War time Presidents usually get yuge ratings.
“Trump has succumbed to the lure of being a “war president.”
You know when women get to be governors they try to dispel the myth of women being nurturing and nonviolent (sorry Ma Barker and the women who killed their own young children or husbands and those who are Planned Parenthood supporters—didn’t mean to offend you). Pres.Hillary or Kamela or Eliz.Warren—God forbid!—would threaten war and wear a soldier’s helmet and carry a riding crop all the time once they got into office.
Let’s hope Trump isn’t trying to look and feel tough. Civil war in Iraq and Afghanistan plus years of American bloodshed equals continuing civil war as before we went in. American intervention plus $3.99 buys a gas station latte.
I hope #1 is the winner.
