We now see a drone strike by Iran — on a civilian Kuwaiti airport… has killed tourists / passengers this morning.
For anyone paying attention, all of this was absolutely predictable.
This is the quagmire we all would’ve known would occur if you put a malignant moron in charge of prosecuting a war of choice in the Middle East.
Welcome to the now likely endless… quagmire. This is from the NYT reporting this morning:
…Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said Wednesday that he had had “tactical disagreements” with President Trump, after the president confirmed that he had used expletives in a Monday call with Netanyahu. Trump had described the tense call, owing to his frustration over Israel’s fighting in Lebanon, in an interview with the New York Post earlier on Wednesday.
Hours later, Mr. Netanyahu declined to comment on the content of the conversation in an interview with CNBC, but said the two leaders had a habit of resolving their differences. “We can disagree in the morning, and by the afternoon, we have common action,” he said…•
This is simply… insanity. And it all lies at the feet of the Republican Party in the Senate and in the US House.
They could’ve long ago put a hard stop to this — and they chose to be complicit.
Most of the GOP bellyached — in 2016, about a deal that Barack Obama had set in his second term related to Iran. Now the supposed “new” deal — one that Trump can’t even get closed, is orders of magnitude worse than anything Barack Obama ever even proposed.
Yet and still — these pantywaists in the Congress continue to let him run wild.
That’s insanity.
Off now, for more high mountain fun. Grin…
