Trump's long winded prose is big on glowing adjectives and ends with a flourish of Crusade holiness.

What could possibly go wrong?

I'm quite worried about Russia retaliating. This is bad situation which could get a lot worse real quick.

Aren't trump puppets so I don't think this is all on trump. In 2012 France went into Libya without us and kind of forced Obama to join in. I think France would have done this now without us too if we opted out. I hated "wag the dog" used against Clinton and I don't think it's appropriate now either. Had wag the dog not been used on Clinton maybe he could have gotten bin laden before 9/11 happened. Sometimes, some people just need their shit pushed in.
