'Once you get your hands on the levers of power, you realize they're not connected to anything' - Tony Benn. Whatever happens, it won't be up to the narcissist Trump who's already got the $100M Adelson IOU hanging over him, plus the $10M from Sisi and goodness knows who else. His script will be handed to him and he will deliver it via the auto-cue. The decision of whether or not to bomb Iran (or wherever/whoever/whatever) will not be made by Trump. But like a good puppet, he will read out the decision. Does he even know where the Panama Canal is? I doubt he could point to it on a map. Poor Lavrov with his wealth of historical knowledge having to deal with Rubio who thinks God gave Israel to the Jewish people and Iran should be eviscerated. It's going to be a fun year.
Not much fun for the Middle East populations or Russia or Ukraine for that matter. Can't think why Scott has so much faith in this maverick. It doesn't make sense
