I think he’s only holding off the ground invasion until after the mid-terms. Not because it would work, mind you, but because that bald zombie fuck, kegsbreath, and the other yes-man goons tell him it’s a good idea.

They know ground troops now would fuck them in the mid-terms, but they’re itching to do it. When it turns into another Iraq/Afghanistan he won’t be around long enough to care. All of them will be focused on fucking up everything they can before they take the money and run.
