    The thing is, he only has to fuck up once. It's like giving someone who's blackout drunk a gun and telling them to shoot someone across the room. They might fuck up a lot and do no major damage, but you can't count on their incompetence forever. And when they're at that level of incompetence you can't count on them balking at something insane, like invading a country with 80 million people, many in major metro areas.

    Some generic Democratic president will still do coups and drone terrorism, but they generally don't have the type of ideological commitment to major wars conservatives have and they won't bungle their way into one like Trump.

      well, i don't disagree, but i am sympathetic to people who think trump's incompetence has led to luck. but with the murder of solemani, i dunno, shit is really really bad so i wouldn't say i agree with it, but i am sympathetic.
