re: #62 No Malarkey!

When the end is preventing a mad king from starting a nuclear war, I’m on board.

Maybe I’m being naive here but Trump never struck me as someone who would think that starting a nuclear war would be to his advantage. Bolton yes — but not Trump. He’s a bully and verbally belligerent but this doesn’t seem like a tactic he would adopt and force others to implement to stay in office. Doing a Grenada-like invasion, sure — but nothing that involved real commitment of forces or deadly weaponry. Pulling troops out of Afghanistan, as was alleged, seems up his alley — Removing forces from our allies, dismantling key defenses, definitely. But not a major attack on a key foe.
