      While true, i think that in this particular case it is more that reason prevailed. If Israel just goes out assassinating foreign head of states and the US supports that, it will be open season quickly and a very good way of starting world war 3.

        I don’t even think it’s true.

        This sounds like Trump floundering to take credit for anything. And in the absence of something, he invented a hypothetical

        The thing that probably scared Turnip is not WWIII but rather the idea that free for all assassinations would mean that he would be one of the first to get shot at.

          I noticed that he had a thick bulletproof screen on the podium on Saturday. Maybe he thinks he’s riled a few people.

      I really think that’s just all it is. Trump just loves the idea of Kings and dictators. He doesn’t like the idea of them dying cuz well they’re what he aspires to be.
