Let's F*CKING stop calling the spoils of Trump's war "tragedies" and START calling them "WAR CRIMES." [View all]
I CALL BULLSHIT on calling the spoils of Rapin' Grampy'w war "TRAGEDIES."They're fucking WAR CRIMES.
When he MURDERED 160 IRANIAN CHILDREN with a fucking TOMAHAWK MISSILE, a "tragedy" would imply that it was an unforeseen circumstance and an unfortunate outcome but HE NEVER SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
He's a rapist, a felon, a con man, a racist, a sociopath, and a guy who used to sell steaks on the Internet, with a drunken sexually-abusing tattooed piece of shit Fox News performance artist in charge of the DOD. THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE CREDENTIALS to START a war like this, REGARDLESS of the ethics / legality of Trump doing an end run around Congress to START it.
IT"S FUCKING WAR CRIMES.
Trump has just laid the groundwork for one of the "greatest tragedies in American foreign policy history," according to a GOP analyst.
Stewart Stevens, who was Mitt Romney's chief campaign strategist during his 2012 presidential campaign, argued in a recent interview on MS NOW's "Alex Witt Reports" that Trump appears incapable of recognizing the mistakes his administration has made in the war in Iran. He said that failure could create a situation where U.S. soldiers and Iranian civilians face "complete tragedies" of Trump's own making.
"This is not a healthy human being who's making decisions here," Stevens said. "This is a very damaged guy who's in decline, who has no one around him to limit him, and we've stumbled into this war."
=Stevens added that Trump's lack of an exit strategy could compound the issues he faces in Iran.
