There could be some detterant benefit in having someone like Trump. With Obama enemies always knew that he would take a rational approach anf try and avoid war. An irrational President is potentially more scary. He will attack even when logically it is a bad idea.
- jessaustin 10y agoSort of like Luo Ji as the "Swordholder"? That's kind of scary, but actually it's less scary to imagine a single person making occasionally irrational decisions, than a slow inexorable buildup of media hype and intelligence service bullshit with no obvious cause but one possible result. Actually it feels like the election interrupted one of the latter, and I'm glad because I'd prefer we not go to war with Russia.
