 I'm guessing you mean the surprise targeting of the Iraqui General when Trump was president? 
 I lost track of all these attacks. All the presidents do them. I was thinking specifically of the missiles he fired at Syria. 
 ahh, haven't heard of those. yes, it seems like they are all the same. I don't get it why people think one is better than the other.

unless...

they want bad to happen FASTER. Trump has buildings that house people and investments in the built domain. perhaps he doesn't destroy enough fast enough. he might have the reflex to not shoot/not destroy.

when i had a toy train as a kid, there are always the friends who want to race it off the track, and run it off the bridge, knock over the buildings. and then there are the kids that build things and add to the whole miniature world. 
 I’ve heard someone argue that the left and right are the same but the left moves faster toward the same end.
