On the one hand it may be an at home political maneuver to put the Democrats on the hot seat. With things heating up overseas it’s harder for Pelosi to sit in the impeachment articles. If he is so bad why is she sitting on the articles.

The economy is having trouble. Now it may start to look, to the rabble, that there is no end to their troubles, that the rulers can not push Trump around, and the only solution is a regime change. A popular uprising that results in a revolution that unseats the current rulers. I don’t know but Trump has been masterful at manipulating the masses here, maybe he can do it there?
Anyway just some thoughts for conversation.

The Obama administration wasn’t presented with the opportunity to take out Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad early Friday, former national security adviser Susan Rice said Friday night.
“Had we been presented such an opportunity, what we would have done is weigh very carefully and very deliberately the risks versus the potential rewards,” Rice told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.
So, we're back in Iraq. I wonder how that will go?
