"The White House" just tweeted and quickly deleted part of a 45 interview.

Chuck Todd asked about his reversing his decision about launching a strike at Iran. He replied in an amount of detail that made me queasy-they were ready to go, they could reach the target in a half hour, they informed him 150 people would be killed, etc.

I must not have been the only one who thought “That is WAY too much disclosure” because it was deleted immediately.

I swear I have seen smarter Risk players. 🤬

Don't try to hold Europe early on. It will never work.

Hole up in Australia, load up Siam, and then bust out in Asia.

I have always thought that many politicians and pundits should have played Risk when growing up or even as adults. Risk players can be smart and often learn a lot.

I learned that superior number of armies and adult strategies were no match for an eight year old with a knack for rolling multiple 6s. Also, don't try to occupy the Middle East.
