We stand at the brink of war, and no one is exactly sure why

We stand at the brink of war, and no one is exactly sure why
As a Jesuit, Francis knows that the purpose of prayer is to divine what the Divine would have us do, not buy him off. Still, he must please his base who thinks otherwise. It may or may not be the same with Trump. He is either an incompetent who believes what Fox News dishes out or craven, meaning he is playing to his base of avid Fox viewers.  Is Trump really Anonymous, seeking plausible deniability for the damage he has wreaked, or truly stupid? We may never know. I suspect the answer is both.

Trump likely thought that a wartime president would never be removed, so his real enemies were Pelosi and Schiff. Last night, the circumstances changed. The mention Dubai was mentioned, Trump realized he had personal skin in the game. In order to save Trump Golf World, he demured, showing that Iranian leadership is neither craven nor stupid. Disaster averted.
