I, too, do not think he'll, but if he does, it'd be with the full, enthusiastic cooperation of the military and the CIA.

Tbh I think the easy prediction on most particularly crazy high profile things Trump proposes is “He will walk right up to the line, extract a meaningless fake concession, then declare victory and seek credit for never stepping over it”

lines.snail.skin•70 days ago

Which is still bad, right? Like it softens a norm badly at the very least.

nutedawn.bsky.social•70 days ago

Oh it’s very very bad, utterly corrosive, but politically effective which is the only thing he cares about

nutedawn.bsky.social•70 days ago

Also of course it only takes him *not* backing down one time for total catastrophe and his brain is turning to mush so

sharonk.bsky.social•70 days ago

yeah part of the reason i'm mad is because that it basically gives future NatCons grounds to be expansionist

lines.snail.skin•70 days ago

Exactly what I was thinking.

I think that was true of his first term. I don't know of Donnie even remembers that it was his strategy back then, or if he only remembers the meme version.

nutedawn.bsky.social•70 days ago

The First Term North Korea strategy, basically, which he did on a bunch of other stuff and which usually works because lots of anti-anti-Trump people are happy to say “See, silly libs discredited again!”

Yeah, despite the first term North Korea strategy being a complete failure. KJU is just as belligerent towards the US and the missile tests kept happening in 2019 and beyond.

lildonnyb.bsky.social•70 days ago

We test missiles all the time.

Oh the concessions are all for his own corrupt ends. Actual governance isn’t part of the equation. Like, the only hope for a non-imperialist Trump is that he’s too busy worrying about his own nonsense and generally incompetent to actually do anything.

The longer they have staffing control over these institutions the less true this will be

Trump isn't invading Canada. He might order military operations that violate Mexico's sovereign rights & there's always an outside chance a Republican President will fully invade Panama. (None of this is good for US interests.)
