Behind Trump’s war fever lies profound weakness - Salon.com US wages fast-escalating war, with no clear motivation and no realistic plan. It isn’t fooling anyone

“None of this is entirely new: Since the Vietnam era, America’s attempts to project strength on the global stage have often looked like embarrassing weakness. But the MAGA regime acts as a force multiplier, revealing and accelerating the declining empire’s worst tendencies.”

Lindsey Graham is the little war devil on Trump's shoulder The South Carolina senator and noted war hawk pushed Trump on Iran. Now he says "Cuba is next."

“But Graham is the Senate’s version of LeMay — a hawk who wants to see the United States use its mighty military to settle scores and punish any and all who have been a thorn in its side. And he has learned how to persuade Trump to be his instrument in that cause.”
