America might be the world's bully, but I doubt whether its current administration is capable of taking on many issues at once,. So, despite the fact that the media can be used as a tool to harness our attention with one headline story, while government perpetrates other horrors in the background, I'm not sure that the current story can work so effectively in the Trump administration's interest. Because it is not just the media but the US government that is going to become bogged down in this issue and its repercussions.

Instead, the danger is more in what happens while we are not watching, elsewhere in the world; what other regimes and US pawns are doing.
