The other question is how well our decimated and redirected national security system will deal with the possible threats.
They’ve been concentrating on immigrants with bedpans, hammers and leafblowers.

The problem is, he thinks---or whatever goes on in his brain--in the moment and has no exit plan if this escalates, and it will escalate. Iran just bombed a US base in one of the Gulf emirates (maybe Qatar?). And this time around he has no one like John Kelly or Jim Mattis to show him one. His VP is 39 years old and was a newly minted Senator when Trump chose him, his SecDef is a former National Guard major and not a 4-star general, and his Chief of Staff is a far right bomb thrower, Stephen Miller, and not another 4-star general like Kelly. Oh and his DNI, Tulsi Gabbard? Frozen out because he didn't like what she was telling him because his "instincts" told him otherwise. Like him or not, he actually chose a mostly competent Cabinet his first time around. This time he's surrounded by clueless clowns. Then there's Marco Rubio, and I can tell you this from my vantage point across the Pond--he has zero respect around the world. They see him as a suck up and ass kisser.
