It's a truly terrifying moment in human history. Donald Trump is vowing a massive missile strike on Syria.
And taunting the Russians.
While we wait to see whether Israel and Iran will declare war on each other and trigger an all out war in the Middle East. Or even the Third World War.
And to make matters worse, if that's possible, Trump has never sounded so crazy.
Well at least we now know what Stephen Harper expects for his strong support of Obama's missile strike on Syria.
He wants Obama to do the right thing and give him his Keystone XL pipeline
It really is the stuff of nightmares. Obama caught in a trap of his own making, and John McCain helping him to dig himself into an even bigger hole.
By getting a U.S. Senate committee to back Obama's punitive missile strike.
In return for an even bigger war:
It will be about a week before we know whether Obama will get to fire his missiles at Syria.
But what already painfully obvious is that just his threat to launch them is causing havoc in the ranks of his own supporters.
Because by now I think I've heard all of these arguments for or against.
Just from my own friends. And the one that scares me the most is this one:
Golly.Thank goodness for small mercies. It looks as if it's going to be a peaceful long weekend after all.
Apart from the roar of fighter jets flying low over my house on final approach to the nearby air show. Because there's nothing like being woken up by a CF-18 eh?
But at least the big Syrian Air Show has been temporarily grounded. Obama blinked, and that show has been postponed.
I see it's going to be an apocalyptic weekend. The unofficial end of the northern summer that is never long enough.
The sound of fighter jets flying low over my tree house.
And of course this ghastly nightmare.
