It was the beginning of the New Cold War. We narrowly escaped a nuclear 
war during the first one. We may not be so lucky this time. How is this 
hard to understand, let alone "crazy"?

Easy. My argument at the time would have been based on this:

'Retired senior US military pilots are increasingly alarmed that Hillary 
Clinton’s proposal for “no-fly zones” in Syria could lead to a military 
confrontation with Russia that could escalate to levels that were 
previously unthinkable in the post-cold war world.'

'His successor, Joseph Dunford, told the Senate last month that a no-fly 
zone would “require us to go to war against Syria and Russia” before 
walking his assessment back under pressure from proposal advocate John 
McCain.'

Nevertheless, I would never have voted for Trump. And, of course, he and 
the despicable Mike Pompeo may still turn out to be worse than anybody else.
