War!

Trump finally gets a war, even if we are not yet shooting!

Turkey has now invaded the neighboring country of Syria, encouraged to do so by Donald Trump, who, of course, has business interests in Turkey.
Diplomacy, Trump style, carried out by his friends in Turkey

Let us remember that Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait was the justification for our first Gulf War, in 1990-1991.  Then, a causus belli, now just fine if it suits the economic interests of the President.  That is how far Republicans have fallen in just the last three decades. 

Besides enabling Turkey's long term goal to strike a genocidal blow against the Kurds, this act of Trump's is likely to free tens of thousands of ISIS prisoners, very likely resulting in a resurgence of one of the most hateful, violent groups in the world; one that Trump has repeatedly claimed to have personally eliminated.

A two for one- good work there, Trump.

This savage and irrational act on its own should be enough to immediately throw Trump out of office, and perhaps implicate him in war crimes.  Instead, Trump's party is circling the wagons around him, intent on perpetually denying that he has done a thing wrong, and his "base" of miserable excuses for human beings is going to go on proclaiming him the greatest leader in world history, selected by a benevolent God to lead us all into a better world.

Meanwhile, the mainstream press goes on debating whether Trump's behavior is a legitimate use of Presidential power, or just a little on the unusual side.

Well, it will be interesting to start hearing the death tolls from Syria.

Here, if you are interested, is a map showing what Turkey is up to:

Iran is holding maneuvers near its border with Turkey and demanding that the invasion stop. So they're doing more to stick up for the Kurds and prevent a resurgence of ISIL than Trump is. I doubt they're strong enough to intimidate Turkey, though.
