But seriously, the incompetence of the Trump White House to have anyone in it for longer than about a year is probably the crowning triumph of the Trump administration; there's no way he's going to invade somewhere if he constantly fires his invasion planning team.

I guess we'll see who eventually replaces Bolton, but it'd be hard to get worse than him and I'd guess this should lower tensions to some extent with Iran etc.

He keeps trying to get into the Trump admin somehow and it never goes anywhere

Pretty sure he’s also facing a bunch of lawsuits as well

If not invading countries and killing people is all we're judging by, Carter would still be way better. Remember that civilian casualties in the wars we were already fighting climbed significantly after Trump took office. Tearing up the nuclear deal with Iran was bad too, as was the warm embrace he's given MBS (and his war in Yemen even as the consequences of that conflict became clearer) and Netanyahu. I'm trying to stick to the region, but pulling out of the Paris Agreement on global warming makes meaningful action there less likely too, and there aren't many regions of the world more vulnerable to rising temperatures than the Middle East. The contrarian take that Donald the Dove is secretly good is extremely myopic.

It's more like Donald the Coward or Donald the Blusterer. You can conjure up all the crap you want about Trump because he is a narcissistic moron invested entirely in himself but if he doesn't start any wars, for whatever reason, that is a good thing whatever you feel about him as a person.

Christ. Yeah that would be a lot worse.

Although TBH Trump being a narcissistic idiot has been way, way, less bad of a White House admin than I feared in November 2016. Fortunately he only follows through with about 5% of his stupid ideas because he has the attention span of a goldfish.

If this actually came through and President Deals literally winds up wrecking all US diplomatic credibility + winds up handing Iran 15B $ JUST so that he could say: "Obama made a poo poo deal compared to the latest one that is totally unlike his and I just made :smuggo:", I would laugh nonstop for an hour.

Is he out of prison, then? Because that account was last active 2 hours ago, which means either he or someone else is using it, and as far as I knew, he was still in detention.

Where do you see that? I don't see any info about ABS being picked up in any corruption drive or whatever. Also the 'prison' they were using was like the Ritz Carlton in Riyadh, so it wasn't exactly no amenities.

The only thing I find about him are a bunch of older articles about him being a weeb and/or gamer, like https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/93swa3/so_uhm_is_there_a_hack_going_on_or_did_i_just/

From what I've seen the more consistent theory seems to be that he's the SON of one of the imprisoned saudi princes, specifically this guy but all the people who have personally played with him think he's like 15 so there's probably a few years yet before he himself gets gets imprisoned.
