"Wars are not decided by social media posts or gut feelings. They are decided by logistics, strategy, alliances, and political resolve. Right now, the world is watching a conflict expand across multiple regions while the person in charge of the United States is posting fantasies about imaginary naval coalitions and claiming total victory over an enemy that is clearly still fighting."

"The picture of the shoes did it for me. Just look at this group of clowns. They’re clowns performing for a ringmaster. Supposedly Trump would just guess their shoe sizes. And if he guessed the wrong size, they didn’t have enough courage to actually get a pair of shoes that fit. They’re wearing shoes because Trump guessed the wrong size. That is a sign of mental illness, I think."

Phillips O'Brien on Iran

How clueless are our leaders? Very

Paul Krugman

"The confusing answer at a press conference in Doral, Florida this week did not befit a wartime leader armed with stirring rhetoric and a lucid plan. ... as the conflict with Iran enters its third week, impacting nearly every corner of the Middle East and causing economic tremors around the world, Trump has emerged as America’s commander-in-chaos."

"'Mr President,' said a reporter. 'You’ve said the war is "very complete" but your defence secretary says, "This is just the beginning". So which is it?' Donald Trump’s eyes darted left and right then down. 'Well, I think you could say both,' he parried."
