In reply to the discussion: First on CNN: US drops largest non-nuclear bomb in Afghanistan [View all]weydowner
(100 posts)It would be nice to think that Trump had done something that would get praise from the world; this is probably not it. If not for the Syria problem, he would have probably dropped sarin on this godforsaken area without beautiful babies coming into the picture somewhere. Anyway, that is out. This week anyway.
More worrying is that he has used the next 'best' thing to a nuclear bomb which makes me think that he would have used one of those if he could get away with it. Does anyone else think he is softening the US public up?
It is not the wisest option to (1) create and (2) infuriate more than one enemy at a time, but as long as he can hog the headlines yet again with all is fine. The tricky thing is dealing with blowback, and the more he wastes, the healthier the balance sheets of US Arms companies will be. So all is good, no?
His world view reminds me of somebody unleashing a toddler with a crowbar on a Super-Computer. Lots of damage, visible and invisible, and lots of sparks and explosions, but in the end, just another wacky day with Donald.
After this week though he could break with tradition and spend a weekend in Florida playing golf.
