THE ANATOMY OF EXPANSIONISM
My initial reaction was, like most Americans that Trump’s assassination of Soleimani was yet another in an intolerable list of self-serving geopolitical moves intended to reinforce the likelihood of Trump’s re-election.

We are diagnosing the symptom instead of the disease. And the disease is oil.
