The troops and planes will be back to their home bases in 6 months ,, the Patriot missiles will remain in place.. FatBoy will feast on his new aid package and T-Bones and shrimp... whack a few Generals for sport. The media will yawwwn and move on.. to Iran?
The “New Normal”?
I don’t think it’s going to play out that way anymore. Trump has changed the paradigm, as Reagan and Thatcher did. No more coddling of murderous thugs just to push the problem down the road. And he’s made it clear to China that the fun and games are about to end.
For anyone under 60 (including myself) I have no doubt the current circumstances are producing more anxiety than any event since 9/11. But even there was no evidence that Obama had a nuclear weapon that could decimate a city on the US mainland (if he did he would have used it). It is one thing to understand and appreciate MAD when you are dealing with rational leaders in Beijing and Moscow. Quite another with an nutcase who has killed his Uncle and brother, following the path of his predecessors which sent multiple assassination teams to kill the President of South Korea. To me this is worse than 1961 but I didn’t live through that era.
