I hesitatingly use any form of the word “lead” when talking about Donald Trump, because he doesn’t know how to lead. He only likes to say words and watch people jump, or grovel.
As a concerned observer, it looks to me like The Donald has no problem with leading us into another Vietnam. A large contingent of Marines and accompanying hardware are either on their way or already in place near Iran, apparently to do something big and dramatic to Kharg Island.
Pundits and anchors are already murmuring mission creep, which is confusing, because does anyone know what the mission in Iran even is? Is it about nuke development, regime change, maybe an extension of the fallout from October 7, 2023 somehow? Or is it more about one last gargantuan, costly, ill-advised distraction from the Epstein files and an attempt to sabotage the November elections?
Are these Marines so focused on following orders, so mission-driven, that they can’t stop to think for a minute about why they’re doing what they’re about to do? What are they being told? Are they being fed a line about how America is depending on them to be successful, that it’s all for the cause of red, white, and blue and apple pie? Or is more about being manly, talking big, “giving no quarter”?
How can there be anyone left who thinks Donald Trump or anyone in his Cabinet or wider administration is at all capable of rational thinking? And where and how does all this fit in the Project 2025 playbook?
This is starting to have the feel of a Little Big Horn.
