    For almost a week now I’ve been going to bed expecting to wake up to the US officially joining the war. But it’s still just all talk.

    I’m starting to think he isn’t gonna do it.

          He seems to be very sensitive to whether people like him or not, though, and what the country in general wants. It’s like some media/entertainer sixth sense he has that helped him get elected.

          On the other hand, he watches Fox, which always lavish him with praise and they seem to be pushing war, so I still have a reason he’s going to do it.

    • Personally, every say since Trump called for “unconditional surrender” the chance gets lower. Trump’s wildcard is that he might randomly change his mind either way, but I would argue that a lot of the build up is part of his cabinet’s efforts to make a potential war look fast, cheap (in terms of losses), and popular.

      They thought he’d go all in on day one and now they’re sweetening the deal.
