    This is definitely the pattern. The danger is always that these games of chicken will get out of control and lead to big war but let's hope the pattern holds.https://twitter.com/moira/status/1214730230751023106 …

    I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I am saying that there is a pattern of Trump* bringing us to the brink and then backing off and acting like he's saved us from something. Syria, Venezuela, North Korea...

        It’s not a “game” of chicken. Trump IS a chicken.

        The pattern has been broken. Trump has assassinated the second in command of Iran in Iraq without proving there was a reason.

        He's going to have to respond to this or his base will be disappointed.

        He can say "We won! We killed a top Iranian terrorist and all they could do in response was a missile attack that didn't kill a single American. No need for further strikes." I'm not necessarily saying he'll do this but if he does his base will swallow it.

        Replying to @HeerJeet @chrislhayes

        Agreed. But, this is definitely not a game. Human lives shouldn’t ever be expendable. That’s the problem. Trump’s actions are often just that, equivalent to 5 yr old losing a game of Topple and throwing the pieces frantically in a fit not caring who gets hit in the collateral.
