Zeeshan Aleem of MS NOW<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>presents a summary of possible results if President Trump follows through on his threat for tonight, successfully or not:<\/p>\n

Even if Trump does order a massive attack on civilian infrastructure, the odds that it will make Tehran budge on opening up the Strait of Hormuz are slim. Historically, the use of air power in this fashion causes the civilian population to side with a government, even one it dislikes, <\/a>against a dangerous foreign intruder. Iran\u2019s government would be a political beneficiary of such a dynamic. And Trump\u2019s mix of bluffing, extending and disappearing deadlines and sudden attacks means Tehran now refuses to trust the U.S. will keep a temporary ceasefire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, should the International Criminal Court<\/em> <\/a>(ICC<\/strong><\/em>) choose to view such an action as a war crime<\/em>, we may have served ourselves a deeply unsavory dish: A President, a chronic liar and arrogant, yet clueless, man-child whose greatest un-secret fear may be going to prison and its consequent loss of social prestige. I don’t think there’s any doubt that he’s used the Presidency to insulate himself from incarceration, manipulating a cooperative majority wing of SCOTUS<\/strong> to produce laughable arguments, supposedly<\/em> of a legal nature, protecting him from the consequences of his own actions.<\/p>\n

If the ICC<\/strong> <\/em>issues a warrant for his arrest and delivery to The Hague in the Netherlands, though, Trump will either run for a country which won’t extradite him, or, more likely at his age, cling that much more tightly to his position, doing just about anything to retain it. The law will not be an obstacle unless law enforcement decides the law is its goal, rather than the President. Which way will that fall out? I don’t know.<\/p>\n

This has the potential to get messy fairly quickly, depending on how fast our court system and Congress decide not to bounce the President out on his ear. If they defy my expectations and actually do remove him from office, then he’ll have to be put on trial for war crimes.<\/p>\n

That’s all assuming he follows through with his barbaric threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
