Who thinks tRUMP is creating an opportunity for war because he thinks the investigations are leading closer and closer to his collusion with Russia in the election hacks?? I honestly believe he wants to try and rile up North Korea, ISIS, anyone that will do something to provoke us into a war...this way, the interest in nabbing him and the others involved, will fall by the wayside!!

To 'wag the dog' means to purposely divert attention from what would otherwise be of greater importance, to something else of lesser significance. By doing so, the lesser-significant event is catapulted into the limelight, drowning proper attention to what was originally the more important issue.

"Come get yourself blown up in Korea, join the Army"
And I agree that he is doing this to take the heat off the Russia investigation
