    “Trump is notoriously mercurial”

    That is putting it mildly.

    Research his personal history, and that of his family. His behavior was already well-known back in 2015, but the American electorate was also turning mercurial by then. His masturbatory social media campaign fit right in.

    As Antonio Gramsci pointed out, culture is upstream from politics, and politics must inexorably follow.

    It is possible that civilization is screwed.

    Regarding the method of attack, refer back to the August 20, 1998, Tomahawk missile strike against an al Qaeda camp in Afghanistan — a high tech masterpiece and an abject failure

    Ask ‘why’, in depth, regarding the latter.

    Then ask if the potential “policy” might be built upon what’s essentially a technological myth.
