      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.

      It's important to remind people that the toddler president with dementia has good instincts on foreign policy.

      It's important to encourage the toddler president not to launch wars that will get many people killed. Unless of course you are a centrist Dem who loves unnecessary wars.

          Yeah, I mean, there's poking at potential truths and trying to assuage his insecurities. We need to pick one.https://twitter.com/Avi_Bueno/status/1141912197473419265?s=19 …

          On the one hand, it's important to point out that Trump may have backed down from striking Iran because Putin made it clear that's not what he wanted. On the other hand, due to Trump's insecurities, he will think the only way to counter this narrative is to actually strike Iran. pic.twitter.com/RkBNMUaVp0

          Agreed. But I think the people who portrayed a deranged, impulsive militarist as something of a peacenik already have blood on their hands.

          I think the people who lost an election to Donald Trump because they didn't highlight his impulsive militarism but rather warned he was an isolationist are the ones with blood on their hands.

          You said that Trump would be to the left of Hillary. You said that people shouldn’t vote for her. You and your “progressive” bros have so much blood on your hands, I don’t know you can even type.

          Sure, all those centrist Dems that led us into unnecessary wars. Remind us who they were again? FFS, the GOP is doing what they always do and you’re still slinging mud at a figment of the alt-left’s imagination.
