Our country has, quite self-consciously, given one person, the President, an enormous sprawling military and enormous discretion to use it in ways that can easily lead to a massive war. That is our system: one person decides.
I think Floridaman is an incompetent conman, in way over his head, who has systematically dismantled a large tranche of support, both within his government and from other nations. Based on his record in office, I fear that the people who typically would and that we as a country need to help shoulder the load will approach this like they would any madman with a gun. Very warily and unwilling to destroy their careers or endanger their countries for someone who will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.
Now Jim will as always jump to his defense.
