talkpolitics...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.

I mean though, is Daniel Ellsberg still plugged into the Washington grapevine? Not that sure. But I would hesitate to think that the Don may present NATO with a fait accompli; which is what Ellsberg is warning us about at best guess.
