      Not striking is the right decision but the constant zig-zags speaks to what I wrote about earlier today: an incoherent foreign policy that sends mixed messages & increases the likelihood of war.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1141904368356220929 …

      It would be good if the Democrats running for president eschewed the easy "Putin's puppet" rhetoric & talked about the dangers of incoherence as I outlined here; https://www.thenation.com/article/trump-iran-foreign-policy/ …

      It's really important at a time like this for the Democrats not to taunt Trump for being weak (although in truth he is very weak) but rather to educate the public on the dangers of a foreign policy that is fundamentally incoherent.

          I'm not sure why "incoherent" is more dangerous than "belligerent".

          Did you ever wonder why Khrushchev built a wall around Berlin and tried to put nuclear missiles in Cuba? It wasn't because he was an evil Soviet dictator. He looked at how the US had bungled the Bay of Pigs and figured Kennedy was a pushover.

          The place we have arrived at tonight on Iran is Donald Trump’s choice. He chose escalation over diplomacy, without any idea how to get out of the downward spiral he set in motion.

          Yes. Although I think he had no idea that was what he was doing. His only tools are bullying and threats. He has no tools for peace.

          … and there’s really no way he can respond to the charge of incoherence that doesn’t underscore its truth. Voters seem to be enthusiastic about bellicosity right now; Dems need a line that doesn’t feed Trump’s appeal as a tough guy (or cast them as fainting violets).
