So, Where’s the BindleSnitch Commentary on Trump’s Re-election War?

“Is Trump trying to distract us from impeachment? Is he “wagging the dog” to try to win reelection? If so, not very skillfully. He’s still impeached and still faces trial in the Senate. And this is far too early for a rally-round-the-flag election ploy. By November, the Soleimani assassination will be old news — and there will likely be thousands more U.S. troops deployed in the Middle East than there are now. Having promised to end our long-running wars, Trump will have kept all the old ones going and added a new one.

We can only hope it is a low-intensity war, not an apocalyptic one.

If you saw the images of millions of Iranians in the streets at Soleimani’s funeral, you have to anticipate that Tehran will respond to his killing. Trump will then feel he must respond to the response. How far up the ladder this escalates depends on leaders, on both sides, having the sense to understand the need for proportion and restraint. Yet there is no evidence Trump even knows what those words mean.”

So, here’s my question:

If you would post for the Washington Post or comment on MSNBC, why not do so here?
