Starting a war because you have a gut feeling everything will work out the way you want it to isn't a brilliant plan? Who could have known?

I don't think this exposes ONLY the Trump administration or ONLY Republicans as being clueless about the exercise of power on the world stage.

Being a high-level US politician is like being a nepo baby (put aside how many of them ARE nepo babies). After a few generations of being so powerful they don't actually need to be good at anything or know anything, people get so lazy & act so carelessly. Because it always works out for them.

Until it doesn't. Until the power starts to fall apart.

It's fun being a US citizen beginning to realize how fucking deeply unserious the US really is. I mean, it's fine. I long for the downfall of nation states as a fucking concept, so I'll get over it, but... Geez. When an Empire falls apart it's long & slow & ridiculous, huh?
