Trump: "This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!"

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The U.S. Embassy in Iraq is, & has been for hours, SAFE! Many of our great Warfighters, together with the most lethal military equipment in the world, was immediately rushed to the site. Thank you to the President & Prime Minister of Iraq for their rapid response upon request....

....Iran will be held fully responsible for lives lost, or damage incurred, at any of our facilities. They will pay a very BIG PRICE! This is not a Warning, it is a Threat. Happy New Year!

The Bushies liked to invent neologisms with a a decidedly totalitarian tone.
Homeland.
Alliance of the Willing.
Operation Enduring Freedom.
Desert Shield.
Warfighters.
Ludicrous and alarming at the same time, aimed at their low-brow supporters.

I would not put it past that asshole to stage this whole thing as a "Wag the Dog" incident to distract from his impeachment. It reeks to high heaven.
