Trump shakes the puppet master's hand.

it belongs to the American People
Titles: Trump and We Are the Most Dangerous Nation
Or: We are in Crisis, and Congress Must Take Control of Donald Trump before He Begins WWIII
If I were Rohani (Iranian leader), I’d attack a private vessel in the Gulf of Oman. It would have to belong to a nation that Trump has insulted and separated us from recently, that would cause a delay in American reaction (Trump has a personal fear of causing WW3, (but he and Kushner are convinced they are the bringers of an Armageddon type, historic international collision).
If I were Rohani, I would order an RPG attack from speedboats. For a surprise and a quick getaway. The choking effect of the Persian Gulf waters would drive oil to $100/barrel, and be a great temporary cash boom for both Iran and Russia, and all middle east oil extractors.
A strategy is no longer something that a nation can plan for, more than 2-3 steps ahead, because there is too much unpredictability now. I fear that like us now, the Iranians can only expect so much, and we take a gamble in a game of chance beyond step 1.
I want the United States Congress to do their job and check the Administrative branch and takeover international security activities with votes and not opinion broadcasting and stalling. Because Trump is so obviously dangerous; he makes the United States The Most Dangerous Nation - beyond doubt more likely to destroy cities than Kim Jong-un or Iran or Pakistan or Russia. This president is authoritarian by his very biology and so (unlike presidents of the past) will have no proclivity to ask Congress to democratically decide the fate of thousands and perhaps millions to billions before launching us into a quagmire beyond any Afghanistan, or Vietnam tangled web of warfare that we have known. The Congress must take control.
Worse, the political culture in the USA has become poisonous, with separated media funnels to the people, we may have such internal strife that we cannot defend ourselves, or diplomatically resolve essential and complex (more so by the month that Trump is in office) security issues.
I believe that Mike Pompeo is discovering what Rex Tillerson has, that the confusion and seemingly chaotic state of the Oval Office and the West Wing makes diplomacy, that must have clear communication, almost impossible. Pompeo may resign, or more likely the public presentation will be his firing. It all depends on the emotions of a manbaby.
