Ya know, I sucked in a deep deep breath and had all sorts of thoughts about the evolution of quiet asymmetric warfare and it's effect on our politics and global behavior since WW2 ....
... and then said screw it.
Yes, finger off the trigger please lest you shoot yourself in the foot. The JCS probably keeps a shiny mylar balloon to distract him with when he gets like that. Maybe it blew away unexpectedly the other day and then blam ! airstrike !

Cuomo once urged female reporter to eat an entire sausage sandwich in front of him
Cuomo once urged female reporter to eat an entire sausage sandwich in front of him
As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces mounting sexual misconduct allegations from two female aides, a video has reemerged on social media showing the Democratic governor questionably urged a female reporter to eat an entire sausage sandwich in front of him.
The video shows the Democratic governor at the 2016 New York State Fair, challenging NewsChannel 9’s Beth Cefalu to eat an entire Gianelli sausage sandwich.
"I want to see you eat the whole sausage," Cuomo can be heard telling Cefalu, as his daughter Michaela sits quietly next to him. A now-former aide to Cuomo could be seen handing Cefalu a sandwich.
"I don’t know if I should eat the whole sausage in front of you, but I’m definitely going to eat it," Cefalu responds.
Cuomo then invites Cefalu to sit at his table. Before eating, Cefalu snaps a selfie with the governor while holding up her food.
"There’s too much sausage in that picture," Cuomo says, prompting laughter from others at the table.
CUOMO STAFF ACCUSED OF 'INCESSANT BULLYING,' 'CONSTANT THREATS,' LOCAL TV REPORTER CLAIMS
Cefalu told Fox News that her interaction with Cuomo that had gone viral has "nothing to do" with the harassment claims the governor has been facing and that she never felt "pressured" to eat the sandwich.
"The governor was trying to be nice and got me some food," Cefalu explained. "It’s probably the one day of year or story of the year he and I can be a little informal and that’s what this was nothing more. He did not pressure me - he was not hitting on me nor did I feel harassed in anyway."
Additionally, in a statement posted on Twitter, Cefalu wrote, "I was not pressured/harassed this is two people enjoying the one event - the NYS fair - that gives them a little more freedom to be informal. [It's] really sad it’s being turned into anything more."
Fox News also reached out to the governor’s office seeking comment on the video. The more than four-year-old interaction is providing fodder for critics who say the most recent allegations against Cuomo follow a years-long pattern of the governor making inappropriate comments.
Cuomo acknowledged for the first time Sunday that some of his behavior with women had been "misinterpreted as unwanted flirtation," and said he would cooperate with a sexual harassment investigation led by the state's attorney general.
In a statement released amid mounting criticism from within his own party, Cuomo maintained he had never inappropriately touched or propositioned anyone. But he said he had teased people and made jokes about their personal lives in an attempt to be "playful."
"I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended. I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that," he said.
Charlotte Bennett, a low-level aide in the governor's administration until November, told The New York Times Cuomo asked inappropriate questions about her sex life, including whether she ever had sex with older men, and made other comments she interpreted as gauging her interest in an affair.
Her accusation came days after another former aide, Lindsey Boylan, a former deputy secretary for economic development and special adviser to the governor, elaborated on harassment allegations she first made in December. Boylan said Cuomo subjected her to an unwanted kiss and inappropriate comments about her appearance.
Cuomo, 63, said in a brief statement Saturday he had intended to be a mentor for Bennett, who is 25. He has denied Boylan's allegations.

Donald Trump bombed Syria on two occasions, roughly a year apart, in April of 2017, and April of 2018. The first attack, against the Shayrat airbase, was a unilateral US action with Tomahawk missiles only. The second was a multi-lateral action, with military assistance from Britain and France, being a mix of aerial bombing and cruise missile strikes.
The reaction to the first bombing, both from Democratic politicians in the US, and liberal US media outlets, was broadly supportive. After saying he was not going to further America's involvement in the Syrian conflict, Trump gave the appearance of beginning to change tack, and it looks like many of his political opponents sought to encourage this. There was no further action until the second, and final, isolated attack a year later. There was dissent from this praise by both Democratic politicians and also plenty of Republicans:

The stated reasons for criticism were varied. From outright resistance to further involvement in Syria, to the lack of a coherent plan from Trump (i.e. Trump had no plans to bomb Syria further).
Come the second Syria bombing a year alter, where Trump managed to recruit France and Britain to the effort, and there was a similar mix of criticism from US politicians. The New York Times claimed that it conformed somewhat to party political lines. But that seems to mean that Democrats were broadly in favour of bombing Syria, but that any such retaliatory bombing ought to be followed up with further bombing, so that the US was bombing Syria more consistently, rather than sporadically.

Does that mean that there will be pressure on Biden from within his own party to bomb Syria regularly, now that he has made a start?

Unfortunately this kind of thing happens all the time all over the U.S. The Floyd case happened when there were other things going on that caused it to be a big deal. Notice the young man is not black. A couple of months before George Floyd was killed a cop in Las Cruces, NM killed someone the same way. But it was a hispanic cop and a hispanic victim. So, it doesn't fit the narrative we are supposed to pay attention to.
If we could depolarize people on the race issue and just look at the police issue (which in my opinion is bad training, incorrect focus and too much military equipment) we would be able to solve some of the issues.

It's like when you go to a Museum and your mom says you can't touch anything - you just have to. Both Trump and Biden apparently just wanted to show everybody that they were in charge. It helps when negotiating.

Now that's some good Vice Pres material - Biden feels them up, then Cuomo does his "magic".

Just from a body language p.o.v that says a lot about Cuomo. Putting your hands on anybody - pure power play bullshit. Doing that to that poor young kid - Jesus.
In an all male setting I've had people clap my back way too hard or do what DT does - shake your hand and they sort of pull you in real tight up on your tiptoes. Dominance foolishness.
I don't have kids but take solace in the fact that anybody who put their unwanted hands on any of my three attractive nieces they would pull back bloody stumps.

I love a good blow-s**t-up story
Can't imagine living through a time when there were LOTS of those things falling out of the sky.
WWII bomb found at university detonated
March 2, 2021
The University of Exeter bomb — discovered on campus decades after World War II — has been detonated by the UK’s Ministry of Defence. Watch the drone footage of the explosion, which left behind a crater “the size of a double-decker bus,” according to local police.
