    Two weeks ago, I was saying this guy was desperate for an off-ramp for this war. I really thought that there were other options that made sense from the perspective of saving face and making a show of it.

    I did not expect it to be “surrender completely, pay hush money, declare undisputed victory”.

    BUT I SHOULD HAVE.

    After all this time it still seems preposterous that someone so stupid and utterly incompetent could be holding the levers of power after all of this. It is so beyond belief it is amazing.

      As others have said elsewhere: he does this with the complete supine support of Congress.

      These people aren’t smart. They don’t think strategically. They literally can’t think beyond the first move. They can only comprehend “Give them a lot of money, and they’ll surrender.”

      The guy that can think 2 steps ahead could overthrow this administration with a knock knock joke.
