He’s going to lurch so far away from repeating W’s Iraq, that he’s going to repeat Vietnam instead. A raid here, a rescue there, better send some more advisors. By the time there are 10,000 troops deployed, there will be an urgent need for 50,000 more, and whoever dares question Twitler’s judgment will be branded a traitor.
tRump is totally ignorant of how any of this government stuff works, about the same as he is of business in general, so he listens to Bannon who knows to feed the generals and they will support him. I just wonder how many lives will be lost before the nation realized we are at war with half of the world and it is getting very expensive to keep this up.
But, I thought he knows more than the generals?All that expertise is going to waste!
Our dipshit, traitor, illegitimate president is, apparently, unaware that our nation is based on CIVILIAN control of the military for a reason. Just let them do what they want. Didn’t our dipshit, traitor, illegitimate president state he knew more than the generals? Was that just another in every utterance of this tragic man that we are to not really pay attention to or putting air parentheses around every fucking word?
Time to go buy another 20 bottles of water and another 5 cans of freeze dried chili mac.
Nuclear proliferation is THE security issue of the day. If Iran, Saudi Arabia and other ME countries obtain nuclear weapons, you might as well set the atomic clock to 12:01. One should be a hawk, but in a smart way which can have results. Trump’s approach could lead to 5 new nations possessing nuclear weapons by Sunday.
This is not good news but it could be worse. Bannon could be making these decisions instead of the Pentagon.

Military operations becoming “divorced from overall foreign policy” could make both civilian leaders and the military vulnerable to runaway events.
“Political leaders can lose control of military campaigns,” she warned.

We’re headed for collapse.
Who’s paying for all this?
Word is, Trounce is considering completely reshaping the Pentagon…into a Pentagram.
The CIC is asleep at the wheel and the war pigs are feasting.
Of course the Generals want more war, its what they do. Peace only comes after everyone and everything is blown to bits.
The MIC may get to ISIL but at what cost? Their death to innocents compared to bad guys ratio doesn’t justify the slaughter.
The after affect of killing innocent Muslims by a Muslim hating President will be, more militant Muslims.
This is the Hatfield and McCoy stupidity writ large.
