Possibly. I suspect the pride would be replaced quickly by overwhelming sorrow.

I agree WWIII may push impeachment to the back burner…but as Americans regard Chump’s horrific incompetence and unpreparedness for war…it may get a lot of people hoping he can be removed faster.
I still don’t understand Pelosi’s very narrow impeachment scope, these articles of impeachment just write themselves.
Talk about censorship up thread…throw in all the times Chump has called various news orgs and journalists “enemy of the people”, all the ways he has threatened other news orgs with removal from govt. facilities, cancelling subscriptions, etc… there are these fully criminal attempts to punish CNN and WaPo using the power of POTUS to kill deals and inflict punishments on the news orgs that report on his criminality:

BAGHDAD — A U.S. airstrike killed Iranian Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad late Thursday, the Pentagon said, a dramatic escalation of tensions between the two countries that could lead to widespread violence in the region and beyond.
Lots of cover. Maybe a war.

I’m not so sure. He was a general for Iran, he was in Iraq, and, well shit happens when you are part of the military. He wasn’t there to to secure peaceful reconciliation; Iran knows that and the US knows that. Iran will probably be the adult in this situation, but we will pay for this; one way or another. Daddy Putin is probably scolding baby Drump as we speak.

He was precisely targeted on arrival leaving the airport. Trump’s motivation is unknown. He did however make use of the IC he has so often dismissed when their facts were inconvenient to him or Boss Vladdy.

We are being censored! I can’t get any comments to work on new TPM stories! Chump!
Atrios’ formulation that some (many?) Dems look for Republican daddies, only to be disappointed by them is eminently correct.
Mueller is the latest example. He gave some lollipops, but did not take his investigation to its logical end. Obviously, in order to save the GOP. And many Dems thought that he was an honest Republican. Yes, the proverbial and oxymoronic honest Republican.

And we’re going to do that by completely pulling out of Iraq now and making all our troops across the world potential targets?
Because the President has so much power at his fingertips is precisely the reason Trump is egregiously unfit to be President.
