      1. We need to think about fact the President of the United States accused 2 members of his party of "always looking to start World War III"

      3. It's not clear Trump wrote the tweet (it's relatively literate). Could be Bannon. Still, it's from Trump's account, so he's sanctioned

      4. Trump's (or, likely, Bannon's) reference to World War III is allusion to Russia policy.

      5. Trump made same accusation against Clinton in election: her Syria policy would lead to World War III.

      6. Here's @anneapplebaum on Trump's WW III talk during election, noting it's echo of Russian propaganda: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/why-is-trump-suddenly-talking-about-world-war-iii/2016/10/28/be44cc0e-9d24-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5_story.html?utm_term=.85f9f00fe3b2 …

      7. It has to be said that Graham, McCain & Clinton are all vulnerable to this accusation because they are ultra-hawkish.

      8. But it's also the case Trump (or more likely Bannon) find the best way to respond to Graham/McCain/Clinton is to echo Russian propaganda

      9. Best explanation for all this is ideological: that Bannon so wants white Christian crusade agains Islam that he'll use whatever is handy

      10. Interesting thing about the tweet is it shows that Trump is still all in on tilt towards Russia & ready to defy Graham & McCain on it.

      11. The question then becomes whether Graham and McCain are ready to stand up to Trump on, say, Tillerson. They probably aren't.

          They haven't so far. Which I think is horrifying, considering their stated views.

          Tillers is pretty much game over (devil you know). Matters more on Sessions, who hasn’t yet been voted out of committee. @heerjeet

          Aren't these 25- and 35-year GOP leaders (Graham in politics since 1993 and McCain 1983) near retirement anyway??? DO SOMETHING!
