conflicted

Jon Huntsman deconflicted our attack
lest Russians chip a nail without due cause.
But no one trusts that Trump will have his back
contemptuous of diplomats, and laws.
Obama was too prudent to commit
to proxy war, with no good end in sight.
But Trump--unthinking--wades into that shit
expecting Fox will trumpet that he's right.
binSalman, and Macron think we should stay
'though no one has conceived an exit plan.
Assad seems disinclined to quit the fray.
If anybody's winning, it's Iran.
Not quite a policy, just bombs, and words.
And no one advocates for murdered Kurds.
