Time For Keynesian Bombing Of Foreigners

One year ago this week Trump launched a tomahawk missile attack on Syria in response to a "chemical weapons attack" on civilians. Just like the one that was staged this week. Couldn't they at least change up the dates a bit? I would trust the CIA a bit more if I knew they weren't responsible for starting the civil war in the first place. Trump was even liked on CNN that day:

The one thing that has been missing from this Roman Circus over the past year, was a good war. By this time in his presidency Bush had already launched one war and was inventing an excuse for his second one - the one that destabilized the Middle East, leading to the civil war in Syria. A fortuitous chain of events for the Military Industrial Complex.  Nevertheless, compliments of massive defense budget increases, and constant chest pounding, the defense company stocks have become ever-more overbought and over-owned. Just waiting for the bomber-in-chief to pull the trigger. 

War is the ultimate recession trade. When a president can no longer wring monetary concessions via the standard legal process, the only avenue left is executive order. 

Any questions?
