I think the Judge and friends are going into another round of pearl clutching. I do NOT think that's helpful or dignified, but I can identify with their trepidation slash existential terror.
Donald is acting like a junior high bully — that "weave" of peace-through-strength with would-be Nobel Peace Laureate — bombing the crap out of a low number of defenseless civilians, AND parrying with tariffs on China to choke Maduro back down to abjection.
Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I think he is placing too much faith in Putin's love for the West overriding his love for Russia.
Not going to happen, Donald, and you're going to have to work a bit harder for that immortality medal, which is actually no better than a plastic bauble in a gumball machine anymore.
