    how do you feel about the whole iranian general missile thing. that felt like it could have gone very, very wrong. Keep in mind to that he was largely still using the established beuracracy when he came in and this go round he has a lot more intended people and many military people said they had to keep him in check.

      If you’re talking about Trump’s assassination of Qasem Soleimani, then I have to admit that I’m less familiar with thr details there since it happened while I was out of commission.

      From the wiki article, it looks like the root problem was Trump being an idiot and loose cannon by reneging the Iran nuclear deal, leading to a crisis in the Gulf, which he then tried to solve by killing that guy.

      Can you expand on the question?
