Trump Changes His Mind about Assad
Free Association by Sheldon Richman
Trump's unleashed his inner neoconservatism, or perhaps he wants to deflect attention from his colossal incompetence, and do something that proves his status as chickenhawk. The stupidity of this is amazing, and may be related to Bannon being fired from his position at the NSC. Neoconservatives winning the day BIGLY, and with a prez like this things can spiral out of control BIGLY.

ReplyDeleteHe probably will. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteThe hot air from this guy is about to burst.
