Here's the issue: Trump is determining our foreign policy ...
for his base or selfish motives. Meanwhile there's 70% of the nation he ignores ... and more importantly, other nations he needs to deal with regarding our foreign policy. Trump is so myopic / narcissistic, he forgets every action also has unintended consequences.
No one disputes Soleimani is a despicable person. However, if you're going to eliminate a foreign general, have a plan. It's not that hard of an ask. To make the current regime of Iran appear sympathetic and measured to the rest of the world ... it's insane. Unfortunately, Trump somehow pulled it off.
You'd think the US would have a communication plan after eliminating a foreign leader. Unfortunately, they are all over place. They are also all over the place regarding Middle East policy. We look incompetent. We continue to lose credibility.
