I don’t see how the ROW at war/civil war and the US not involved in any of it would somehow reflect badly on the US...
Except that great powers including the US takes sides and come into contact, as in Syria, where US and Russian forces have brushed, but no fatalities — unless one includes US involvement in the incident where Turkey shot down a Russian plane and the pilot was executed on the ground by terrorists allied with Turkey.
As Cohen points out, the US has "advisors" in Ukraine. What happens if some of them get killed by "Russians" in the "civil war" there, when the US is claimed a "Russian invasion."
Well maybe we will just help get it all started and then slip out... pull all the USDs and people out... let the zombies sort it all out themselves...
Could be Trump’s real play...
“DJT now owns it”
He doesn’t care Tom...
If NK were to wipe out SK, Trump would probably think, “well... now we are going to have to finally get back to making our own TVs....”
DJT has to care about his political situation in the US.
NK wiping out SK would mean wiping about the 40,000 troops that the US has there, and if the US withdraws them, NK wins.
