World War III: The Opening Days

I thought the Morning Joe team had a lot of interesting things to say this morning about this confusing situation, so here they are.

A Rorschach Test

In this complex and confusing situation, the human mind leaps to find some preconceived perspective that will explain what’s going on. 

My own view, if you happen to be interested: Trump, desperate to distract from devastating information about to be revealed from the Epstein files, is crying Havoc! and wagging the dogs of war. 

The MAGA Base

Sarah Longwell, who does focus groups, is the publisher of The Bulwark, and is nobody’s fool, says his MAGA base will be with him if he is in and out in a few days. But if he’s not in and out in a few days, they will start peeling off. 

Trump repeatedly promised them no long wars and no regime change laws. 

This is not what they voted for.

Will Trump be in and out in a Few Days?

Does the pope shit in the woods?
