How on earth could we predict that the most inept and impressively corrupt administration in recent American history would blunder about and fuck everything up (other than all the evidence and the people who knew what they were talking about saying this was a rising risk)?https://twitter.com/vermontgmg/status/1214702040817061888 …

This is where it could go bad, through fuck-ups. Trump, for all his faults, has managed to avoid launching any new wars. He was staunchly anti-war during his campaign.

I think he was in a rhetorical way that resonated with America First but what’s more American First than a war?

I think there is a rising tide of non-interventionism on the right, frustration with the wars that Trump (with paleocon Bannon and anti-war Stone) strategically capitalized on in the election. Gabbard and Carlson are both tapping into it now too.

I mean, it has to, eventually, I hope. It's not sustainable.

The question is will Trump risk that non-interventionist support (Bannon Stone both gone, replaced by hawks) for the ra-ra goodfeels that DC gets when a new war is launched. I honestly don't think Trump wants a war, but I do think we could blunder our way into one.

I don't think he does either. I think he's probably scared shitless. But his idiot bravado compels him to keep acting tough to save face and eventually that approach fails.
