The president used America’s military not against any real threat but as toy soldiers, with the intent of manipulating a domestic midterm election.
He had hoped that the caravan would arrive at our borders just as midterm was going on. This would allow him to scare the bejesus out of everyone and claim once again why you should vote Republicon. Thankfully the timing was really off for that one and now it looks like all the soldiers will be home for Christmas.
I call it "Fear Theater"
