Will Trump Start a War with Syria to Distract Us

[yellowwoodII]

Of all of the news today, this scares me the most.
t.t.

1. I think he might have a hankering for Iran.

Whatever brings the biggest bang for the buck.

2. He would have to get permission from Putin.

3. Count on it.

[duforsure]

4. He's capable of anything now.

5. Thing is, a war wouldn't do him any good.

One of the reasons his base voted for him was because they believed (incorrectly) that Hillary was a war hawk, and Trump would pull us out of the middle east and refuse to get involved in conflicts there. Going to war in Syria or Iran would infuriate his base.

12. I Think That the Nation Would Rally

A war would outshadow other news.

6. He'll probably attack Brazil

since that's where the Amazon is.

7. actually fucking with Syria would annoy his boss, expect him to find a mutually agreeable target

i would be very scared if i lived in the Ukraine right about now

[superpatriotman]

8. Yes

He has chicken hawks on one side and Dominionists on the other side. And right in the middle is a fearful, cornered rodent.

9. He is scared of Putin also.

10. More like a war with Russia.

11. Another "Cold War" perhaps? Lots of money for defense contractors for sure.
