The U.S. has officially quit the UN Human Rights Council.

It really doesn't matter who the war is with. The fear is that he will start a war, period. Speculation on who that war is with is inconsequential. War with anyone is a bad thing.

You can point out all the bad predictions you want, but Trump's penchant to conduct international diplomacy by the seat of his pants, with no consistency other than when it involves Russia, with frequent face turns, an eagerness to bow up to allies and praise dictators, and his apparent weakness in agreeing with whoever he spoke with most recently, no matter the implications on previous commitments or statements, makes Trump a very dangerous individual. This is not to mention his constant need to see himself in the media, to be the center of attention, it does not seem far fetched to believe that Trump would start a war for no other reason than because he thinks it would get more people to talk about him.

And what's fucked up is you and Trump supporters right now mock the idea of a war with anyone in particular as if it's not even a possibility, but if Trump were to attempt to start a war, his faithful would be lock step running the propaganda gauntlet and regurgitating whatever the defense of said war is everywhere they can without a second thought.

It's just pretty sad to see where you currently stand. You mock those who are weary of war, as if the fear is not justified. Whether or not Trump is president, the fear is justified. Whether or not a person in particular can predict who that war might be with, the fear is justified. Particularly in an age where the power of the president has expanded to such a degree that we've been at non-war in the middle east for literally decades.
