The problem is, chuckles, your own military is confused by what the hell it means, and that’s not good…

“I’m delighted you are confused and so many others are confused. I hope the Iranians are confused as well,” he said. “They don’t know what it means, the Iranians don’t know what it means so they’re going have to be more more careful in their belligerent actions than they were when Barack Obama was in the White House.”

Yes, John, we want hostile nations confused about what are our intentions and whether or not we plan to strike them militarily. If they had a clear understanding they might not do what we don’t want them to do, or they might get freaked the fuck out and do something far more drastic than the thing we currently don’t want them to do. That thing may result in the loss of American lives or the loss of access to the Straight of Hormuz through which 20% of the world’s oil is transported. But, yeah, go ahead, muddy the water and make vague threats. That always works out well.

Bet they are regretting that now. Having nukes might have been one of the few things that would give the Trumpittes pause about starting a war. Emphasis on the might.

Every time I hear this Trump-witted theory that unpredictability is a virtue for a nuclear superpower, a little clip from Dr. Strangelove starts to play in my head again…

Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret. Why didn’t you tell the world, eh?

Soviet Ambassador: It was to be announced at the Party Congress on Monday. As you know, the Premier loves surprises.

To be sure, I would say that most of the international diplomatic world is confused. The belligerence would appear to be in the so-called “state” department at this point in time, which is being routed through the dipshit’s unfiltered mouth.

As an adult, I would say that this behavior will most likely be met with resistance throughout the world. If I were working for another country’s foreign affairs department I would be contacting as many non-US countries to plot a new course of action that would not include the US to any significant degree, I would not trust this government to respect any existing treaties/trade agreements, or anything. tRUmp’s approach to “diplomacy” seems to have us on a collision course with almost all of the countries that could be considered allies prior to the November election.

If I were from another country, especially say, Mexico, I would make substantial efforts to untangle from the United States

This is incredibly reckless. No words for someone in a position of responsibility to think that confusion is ever a good thing. Lives, nations are at risk.

Absolutely insane. If only JFK and Khrushchev had communicated confusing messages to each other re the Soviet missiles in Cuba none of us would be here to send confusing messages back and forth today.

Translation: We have no plan, we’re just winging it. But when the shit hits the fan, we’ll say that’s exactly how we planned it.
