I have zero sympathy for politicians who use words like ‘unleash the gates of hell’ against a civilian population—particularly when that same politician is bragging about how the U.S. will back them up. You’d think we learned something after decades of disastrous military misadventures, but apparently not. And Trump reentering the scene with more blank checks for right-wing hawks? Color me shocked. The GOP’s foreign policy stance is basically: Let’s escalate everything and call it ‘leadership.’
