irulent Trump-hater George Will penned a column in the wake of the Iran attacks titled “At last, the credibility of U.S. deterrence is being restored.”
Do you think Will turned a corner about President Donald Trump? Hardly.
If you want to know who restored the credibility of U.S. deterrence, Will isn’t saying. You’d think it fell out of the sky.
The most he will concede is that “Donald Trump’s administration has chosen not to wager U.S. safety on Iran’s abandoning its multi-decade pursuit of nuclear weapons, or on Iran’s acquiring them but not really meaning ‘Death to America.’”
Wait. Trump’s “administration” made that choice? To whom in the administration is Will referring, if not Trump himself? The secretary of Agriculture? The EPA administrator? The guy managing the nation’s helium reserve?
Despite admitting that Trump has engineered a profound reversal in the U.S. standing in the world, George Will is sure to go right back to writing about how dangerous and incompetent he and his administration officials are. He will have plenty of company, to be sure.
