…to match the size of his ________ (fill in the blank).

From the NATO website–
NATO is committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes. If diplomatic efforts fail, it has the military power to undertake crisis-management operations.

I assume these ops efforts are not intended to be between member nations.

“I, in my great and unmatched wisdom.”

“PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT PUTIN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!”

When the tardive dyskinesia sets in, it will be the chef’s kiss to the unitary executive concept.

If I take it on the idea his terminal narcissism is in play, then yes, he is going to pull it all down out of spite.

He is scarier today than he has been for me at any other time.

Because we think he is stupid instead of insane.

bonvivant · October 7, 2019, 4:59pm

I’m in the camp that is unsure if he is crazy or just crazy like a fox as Jim Acosta believes.
I am sure of one thing though, as long as the press gives his tweets headlines in the news, he will be upping his game with tweets.

You’re planning to give it back?

tsp · October 7, 2019, 5:03pm

In his case, yes to both, but the degrees of each are anyone’s guess.

Like on the doctor’s pain scale, from 1 to 10, how stupid are you?

trnc · October 7, 2019, 5:03pm

This appears to be the current commitment. Renewal likely.

He once again does not mention the Kurdish people. and as usual he just mentions things in general but doesn’t makes specifics.

What does he consider “off limits”?

What would he do to “totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey”?

Turkey and Europe and others watch over the captured ISIS fighters that are currently being watched over by the Kurds, what is he suggestion change to pass over the ISIS fighters from Kurdish control to someone else?

Others in the region? to protect their own territory? That could mean a ton of things which of course he doesn’t state.

and then of course after announcing he is going to retreat and leave our allies to die he states “THE USA IS GREAT!”

trnc · October 7, 2019, 5:04pm

Run for president there.

Nope. Malignant Narcissism all the way. He is a textbook case of it.

“The primary difference between Narcissism and Malignant Narcissism is that malignant narcissism includes comorbid features of other personality disorders, and thus consists of a broader range of symptoms than pathological narcissism (NPD) alone. In malignant narcissism, NPD is accompanied by additional symptoms of antisocial, paranoid and sadistic personality disorders. While a person with NPD will deliberately damage other people in pursuit of their own selfish desires, they may regret and will in some circumstances show remorse for doing so. Because ASPD traits are present in malignant narcissism, the “malignant narcissist” suffers from a more pervasive lack of empathy than someone with NPD alone and will lack feelings of guilt or remorse for the damage they cause. Since sadism is often considered a feature of malignant narcissism, an individual with the syndrome may not only lack feelings of guilt or remorse for hurting others, but may even derive pleasure from the gratuitous infliction of mental or physical pain on others. These traits were formerly codified in the DSM-III under sadistic personality disorder (SPD).”

I just checked, and Trump tweeted the same threat on 1/13/2019.

Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds.

So much for ‘most ridiculous.’

rockgolf · October 7, 2019, 5:05pm

Pretty obvious.
He’d apply a tariff on turkeys. Just in time for Thanksgiving.

psudawnc · October 7, 2019, 5:06pm

Plus, he assumes that enough money will pay them for it, thus ascribing his own motivation to them.

old_curmudgeon · October 7, 2019, 5:06pm

We can laugh at this. We can state that it is an attempt to distract from the increasing threat to his presidency. But let’s remember that it is (also?) a sign of his rapidly worsening dementia.

fiftygigs · October 7, 2019, 5:07pm

With that hair?

Ahahahahaha…

castor_troy · October 7, 2019, 5:07pm

We shouldn’t. Untold thousands of Kurds may die just in the next few days due to his megalomania.

tsp · October 7, 2019, 5:08pm

If you have to ask, he won’t tell you. Executive Privilege.

We’ll see. It will be beautiful. Just wait.

That’s classified.

America First!
