Recognizing the obvious oxymoron [Trump's intelligence] this is still a relevant issue to deal with.
-
"Greatest threat" - sure - but to what? Greatest threat to the US' position as the main super power? You bet - but I'd argue Trump himself is just as big a threat to that. Also, the US clearly is China's biggest threat...I don't see China (or Iran) start any wars with the US (or allies), but I can't say I have the same level of confidence inthe US not doing the same. No question the US is the biggest "threat" right now.

Book is not a bad idea....I'm the only western scientist on these early papers which might be a bit of a selling point. Ihave some awesome photos of dinners around China. We so need Biden in charge now.

Question - if we start a war with Iran, then surely the new administration can't take over, right? Martial law.

[I wouldn't put it past him]

I agree - obviously all of us can write. Three book chapters is nothing like writing three scientific papers. 3 X 4 = 12chapters, which is a book.

And, to answer @Kristian Andersen question - you had better believe that he is thinking about this.
-
He won't do it though - the idea of holding rallies for the next four years - which is the only thing he gets off onanymore - is really all that he wants to do. Also Trump TeeVee. He likely to do some ["minor"] things to screw with Iran and China to make things difficult for Biden, but as @Andrew Rambaut alluded to the generals are not going tolet him bomb anybody.

I trust you're right Bob... If not, though, that beer in the pub will be on you!
