A few hours ago top US political news was “Newly redacted emails showed Administration officials said the freeze on Ukraine’s military aid was done under “clear direction” from Donald Trump. I’m sure the timing of tonight’s killing of an Iranian general was just a coincidence.

Ignorance or apathy? Trump didn’t know that assassinating a foreign general would start a war? Or he doesn’t care?
(Or both?)
