Well, he finally did it! We are now realizing our worst fears as the “deflector in chief” actually is starting a war to redirect attention away from his impending impeachment trial.
While no decent human being will mourn the death of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani, this action was just another strategically useful step in this administration’s continued attempts to provoke Iran into a politically expedient war. This “mob boss” will stoop to anything to protect himself from being brought to justice, and if American lives and treasure are lost as a result, so be it. To my conservative friends who will grasp at anything to defend this “criminal in plain sight,” particularly by rubbing their hands together as their stock portfolios flourish, your leader is successfully destabilizing the Middle East and world oil prices will follow. While President Trump’s domestic, energy-producing buddies will again reap benefits and will be pocketing another windfall, I would bet other economic factors will suffer mightily. Enjoy your portfolios while you can, you’re in for a “rough ride.”
