I have expressed unease over the way things are going with the United States government, especially the executive branch, over these past two years.
The news of court cases and filings, some related to the Mueller investigation and some not, firings/resignations, and policy changes on both foreign and domestic matters have been particularly intense over the last few weeks.
Still, I wasn’t prepared for the torrent of news this week, especially the sudden announcement of the withdrawal from Syria and the subsequent resignation of Secretary of Defense Mattis.
And the week isn’t over yet.
It’s likely that there will be a partial government shutdown. It’s possible that, with the president being so unpredictable, some other countries might take provocative actions, thinking the US is too preoccupied to respond.
I’m really scared.

It’s nice that you are able to speak for your fellow Canadians. I used to think that there were certain issues about which all people of the United States agreed, but it seems that is no longer the case. The divisions are so deep. It is one of the things about which I am most sorry.
