Washington Free Beacon: Mattis: ‘If You Threaten Us, It Will Be Your Longest and Worst Day’

Unfortunately and I hate to say it, all bark no bite. No one is taking him seriously, certainly not any foreign power. "Mad dog" reminds me of a friend's now deceased 17 year old Chihuahua. This dog was blind, virtually deaf, crippled, and had no teeth (the dog could only eat liquefied food) but MAN COULD THAT DOG BARK!! This is an apt description of "mad dog." All bark no bite, essentially a funny joke to foreign powers and a sick one to Americans.
Sadly, at this point, in regards to foreign policy team Trump has disappointed. It still could be corrected but at some point the major world powers will run out of patience with us. On the upside, not electing HRC probably did buy us some proverbial time to get this right but this time is rapidly running out.
