While we're on the foreign policy thread, Trump seems to be shaking up his staff. Tillerson is out and the CIA neocon, Pompeo, takes over at State. The gal that headed the Thailand torture site will now run the CIA. Cohn is out and Kudlow is in. There are rumours that Bolton (a well spoken neocon warmonger) would replace McMaster as National Security Adviser next.
It seems to be a race to who we go to war with first. Will Trump test Russia in Syria? Will the Ukies attack the Donbass again? How long before we bomb Iran? And of course the fat man in North Korea wants denuclearization, but that includes the US moving it's nukes out of South Korea. That ain't going to happen unless South Korea agrees to it, and if they do I'm damn sure we'd put sanctions on them too.
