We are headed yet again for a potential quagmire Syria with
its Herculean complexities that could cost the lives of thousands maybe
more including our own. Let's see where have I heard the words never
ending war? Oh yes, the so called easy war this nation has been in for
17 years. Worse yet, if Trump responds through military power Trump
risks opposing his best friend Putin who suffers no fools. One can bet
Putin is laughing at the fool Trump because Trump is now between a rock
and a hard place worrying about the red line crossed and worrying about
Russian blackmail if Trump should engage Russian aircraft or troops.
The
other side of the Syrian war is at least one of "Axis of Evil" powers
which includes Iran. The opposition will be the other power involved in
Syria -- Russia -- the man at its helm Trump most admires for his
capture on power, Putin. So what will it be Mr. Trump -- attack Syria
and risk encountering Iran and/or worse Russia (a major power with
nukes) or make the threat and not act thereby losing one half your
base--a Shakespearean conundrum. The other half of your base is made up
of rightwing extremists of the isolationist Linburgh variety. It's
called damned if you do and damned if you don't. Add to that
investigations of collusion and corruption galore of your
"administration" and you are like Sisyphus trying to push that damn
heavy rock up the hill.
Too bad you don't drink, Mr. Trump, you will have to endure the stress cold turkey -- an apt appellation of you!
