I believe that the actual action taken was correct.
But the justification, the international interaction,
and the lack of long-term planning has just fumbled severely.
Shoot from the hip, although romantic, doesn't play well in reality.
We are adults of the 21st century, and we can't afford to be naive or idealists.
The administration if they wanted to take this action (again I though it was correct)
is a sophisticated enough entity that should know how to develop a better overall strategy,
including diplomacy, clear intelligence and logistics.
And they should respect the intelligence of the people and the system
to not bluff their way into getting what they want.
Whether a legit policy or not, it deserves proper planning and communication.
