i m afraid this could actually get away from the president. it wouldn t be the first time he has lost control of an international dynamic. he could be starting a chain reaction that even the white house can t stop. the region is so tense there could be an accidental engagement that leads to war. i want to find out from senator sanders who are those honest conservatives in the senate that he is working with on this. is trump trying to tillerson john bolten. i never knew that was a verb. the idea that he is announcing in japan that he doesn t agree with his advisers and that he is not in favor of regime change is a different policy than we thought he was pursuing two weeks ago. of course, in the interim, he did say he didn t want a war because by the way as if we didn t know it kills people. he said most importantly war
