The Trump administration is already in danger of losing control of the swift chain reaction and political storm unleashed by its killing of Iran's top general, Qasem Soleimani.
President Donald Trump's claim that the drone strike last week made Americans safer is being challenged by cascading events that appear to leave the US more vulnerable and isolated.

Is this who we want to be? - Jarrett Blanc
The House Foreign Affairs Committee slammed President Trump on Sunday after Trump appeared to write that his tweets served as sufficient notification to Congress in the event of a potential military strike against Iran.
So if we have to leave Iraq, are we just going to leave all that weaponry, the technology, the helicopters, to the Iranians? The stuff that cost us a trillion dollars, 20 years and innumerable lives?? That we were suckered into, because there were NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION - Bette Midler
