...The Don's parting gift to us before he leaves on the 20th is that it will be war with Iran.

So do we think "Hell Yeah" or "Facepalm"?

And if we all think "Facepalm" what does it say about our institutions being able to cope with folk taking advantage of them?

Iran has behaved, and still behaves, in accordance with a treaty that Trump tore up. Will the other treaty signatories come to Iran's aid?

Obviously not. Nevertheless war with Iran doesn't appear to be in any way justified; even given the Syrian situation.

Without convincing pretext any war will just leave Trump unable to leave America else the War Crimes chaps at The Hague will want a word. No more golf in exotic places for the Don then.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
