On Stephens and Stupidity

After his trip to the Supreme Court, Trump is scheduled to appear on national TV tonight. From all appearances, he plans to declare victory and go home, leaving the theocracy in place and in possession of its enriched uranium and the Strait of Hormuz. Some victory, that.

Realizing that his fondest hopes for the war are about to go down the drain, Bret Stephens is calling on all of the war’s opponents to lobby Trump to finish the job. Good luck with that.

It was stupid for Stephens to trust a man like Trump to become a war president like FDR or Lincoln. Now he and his friends will have to live with the ugly consequences, which will probably include the weakening of NATO and a further lessening of support for Ukraine.
