Reckless, Not Bold

Those that are standing in line to praise Donald Trump as making a "bold" move, by taking out the Iranian General, are themselves just as reckless as Donald Trump. Look Ma! Watch me juggle this nitroglycerin!

They are lizard brains. They are unable to think about the consequences of their actions. Donald Trump and his supporters are a cruel and reckless pox that are intent on doing harm to this nation and the world. The Middle East will be changed dramatically by this assassination of Soleimani.

Those "militias" that were under the control of Soleimani will no longer be under the control of Iran, Iraq, or any other country in that part of the world. They have become "free radicals", independent to create havoc as they see fit, in my opinion.

No one can predict how the Middle East will change. Whatever order that may have existed will be gone. The world is a more unstable and unpredictable place. Those that stick out their chests and brag about the boldness of Trump's actions, even while the embers from the bombs are still glowing, do not have the best interests of this nation at heart. They are reckless ideologues. They should be relegated to a more isolated place in America's consciousness.

"Bold" is saying you were liberal back when "liberal" was a dirty word.
"Bold" is being a whistleblower against corruption.
"Bold" is being a person of faith and standing up to Franklin Graham and other right-wing evangelicals.

Putting lives at risk when there is no risk to you is just dangerous and stupid... and anyone who sees that as admirable is just as dangerous and stupid.
