Yes, this regime is gonna drain the swamp just like a pack of busy little beavers building dams to put the waters under their control.

Maybe a man who had never studied History, and only played with toy soldiers should not have start an unprovoked war of choice?
Also shows how subservient this entire administration is to him. No one said no? Or this is a bad idea? Or fell on their sword?
