It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

School history lessons minimise the role of women, report finds
Campaigners say key stage 3 curriculum plays to misogny and teaches a ‘false version of the past’

Recent reports show that Peter Thiel Guru Curtis Yarvin met with Labour Peer Lord Glasman and boasted about using the N word.
Why does this matter? Because Glasman claims to have a strong influence on the Prime Minister’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney
