It looks like soon we'll have massive troop involvement there [as soon as a real or false-flag event causes a lot of US troop deaths]. No real objective has been stated, it is illegal by US and international law, and even who's side(s) they are aligned with and who against are not clear. Another insanity is building and many [mostly civilians] will die. I see no difference in foreign policy and general belligerency between Trump and others prior apart from fine nuances not worthy of mention.
I took note of the idea that Flynn was 'removed' because of this open threat to Iran [which others in the Military and intelligence communities felt - rightly - was suicidal and unnecessary]. So, some of the targets of warfare are different, but most seem the same and I think some new ones are just on the horizon [Korea, China, others].
Meanwhile the Trumpf administration doesn't even speak about genocide in S. Sudan, starvation in Yemen and many other crises - they don't give a shit about human suffering - domestic and even less foreign. At least in the past lip service and eventually some aide was offered by the US...now I think there will be zero. The part of the World not wanted for US Corporate conquest is on its own now.
Il Douchebag Trump does care about human suffering -- he gets great satisfaction inflicting it.
"You're fired!" was his reality TV catch-phrase.
He especially enjoys sticking it to his own voters. He wasn't in the White House more than a few minutes before he rescinded a $500 a year tax cut for lower income home-buyers, hundreds of thousands of whom were his voters.
He rescinded regulations requiring professional financial advisers to put the interests of the client first, thus allowing predatory hucksters to prey on the elderly, another key Trump voting bloc.
The Trumpcare proposals will royally screw lower income, older Americans.
Trump loves to cause human suffering -- hence the proposal to separate children from their parents who get caught entering the USA illegally.
His Injustice Department wants to line up private prisons for the anticipated influx of prisoners from a new war on drugs.
We're in for a wave of unprecedented scum-baggery.
