      As I've said before, best case scenario is that this is Trumpian bluster & will be seen as such by other countries (not just Iran). But it's still hugely risky since a misunderstanding could lead to war. Or to put it another way: USA now dependent on forbearance of others. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1130207891049332737 …

      @ggreenwald A reminder that Glenn has mocked people who criticize Trump’s mean tweets, and today not for the first time trump threatens to destroy a country which would include millions of people.

      Don't forget when Jeet said Trump's foreign policy instincts were good.

      "The thing is Trump's foreign policy instincts are often good but he doesn't know how to make them into policy." Trump doesn't want war with Iran but through his ignorance of policy has appointed Bolton & now is stuck with bad policy. So original position still stands.

      He's not a peacenik but he wants foreign policy of plunder, not of upholding international system. But he's too incompetent to figure out how to get the policy he wants, which is why he's creating instability.

          He instinctively wants to plunder foreign countries and carpet bomb what he can’t haul away, rewarding war criminals who commit atrocities in his name. But he’s too incompetent or lazy to carry it out. Great instincts, though.

          This is the same guy who spent 2016 floating the idea of proactively using nuclear armaments

          this is the pundit guilty conscience equivalent to the speech Walter White gave about how the plane crash he caused wasn't that bad when you compare it to other, bigger plane crashes

          I'm surprised you consider an instinct for plunder and dismantling international institutions good.
