2020 is off to a rocky start

There's no bottom with Trump. He'll do anything to escape accountability. I just spent the night glued to the TV watching Rachel Maddow do two separate live shows reporting on the unilateral assassination of Qassem Sulaimani. Speaker Pelosi confirmed what we all assumed, that Trump ordered this killing without congressional approval. He has no idea this will lead to a full-blown war. All the while I'm thinking I could be redrafted back to the military despite my retiree status. Or maybe the news is so overwhelming and the hour is late. This is the kind of shit that keeps you up all night.

I doubt you'll be drafted back into service, not if you have had some history of health problems etc.
the law of unintended consequences, alive and well
BTW, doesn't it say somewhere in your constitution that the president cannot commit a crime? Does that mean that he's not culpable for anything he does while in office, or that, should he commit a crime while in office, he's automatically removed?
With all that is happening worldwide, it's gonna be a yikes for my country with the Mutual Defense Treaty and all. That treaty is a double edged sword. If we get invaded, America will help defend. If America wages war, my countrymen will be mobilized too. With Trump trying to wage war in Iran, it's going to be a problem.
Whats reaching an impasse for now regarding this is our pottymouth president, who is petty against America and is trying to gain more diplomatic ties with Russia and China. And it's going to be a problem if my president breaks off from that treaty even further if my country gets invaded.
It feels as if we are at a crossroads, and it's not good.
