The puzzling persistence of rando Twitter screenshots, as if they showed widespread or influential opinions, reminds me of old travelogues in which an amused (or outraged) traveler would report that some country's citizens had all been run over by carriages or spat thrice when asked for directions.

Still amazing that anyone calls themself "influencer," as though it doesn't really matter how they influence others, including for ill, or even driving them off. As if therapists started calling themselves "manipulators" or surgeons called themselves "stabbers." Or scholars "professors."
Boring to say, but this should read "a dangerous new phase of the war should CONGRESS ALLOW President Donald Trump to choose to escalate."
A "war" is something Congress must authorize; any characterization issues are dispelled confronting "a dangerous new phase" taking weeks that "may escalate."

If President Trump approves the plans, such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U.S. troops than the first four weeks.
