It's funny and horrifying. Dollars to donuts that nobody laughing now would find it funny if Japanese PM made a joke about not trusting a regime willing to use nukes against noncombatants. Tremendously unserious to see this as just funny

The divide in America is between those who think this is hilarious and those who find it horrifying. (H/T It’s hilarious)

For context, in May 2003 the Iraq War had 74% approval The President needs to clarify the objectives/endstate of the fight & communicate w/ the American people, rather than think some sophmoric social media posts or whining about the press from SecDef will be enough to get by
@markdtooley@markdtooley

I cannot recall any military action of last 80 years that started with such low approval. Public opinion in war is very important. Successful statecraft requires persuasion.

@NewReaganCaucus @CountryFirstRep This is right. If the cost of this war is merely $1.00 extra per gallon gas for, say 25 years, it is a bargain. Realistically, we are likely 300 Purple Hearts deep into a war that will yield a marginally gas tax increase of $3.00 or more per gallon and a deep recession.

@CountryFirstRep $1.00/gal in the short-term to obliterate the most evil regime on earth is a small price. We've gotten decadent.

📢New WP: Minimum Wages and Workplace Injuries Using California state and local minimum wage increases 2000-2019, we find minimum wage hikes increase workplace injury rates for low-wage workers. A plausible mechanism is work intensification 🧵 w/ @rjisungpark & Michael Davies
