Do you think that Trump believes that making the world worse as he is doing will somehow make it better for him?

Or is he just doing this because he doesn't know better or is he doing it because he's just evil, or what?

When it comes to Trump it's best to ask "how will this action line his pockets?"

Here in Europe we've rocketing oil prices and talk of rationing. Here in my little corner the economy is highly reliant on oil refinery and if the ships don't come it's going to be bad. On a personal note Dubai is a sizeable market for my sheep and they help keep my bank balance healthy. The war could affect my pocket.

It feels the war isn't against Iran it's against everyone

I don't think he believes that

I think he knows he has no choice but to do what his handlers tell him to do... otherwise, they will Epstein him in prison... if he doesn't

Have you seen these CCTV videos, where a larger animal wanders into a store, panics and creates total mayhem and chaos trying to get out again? That's the equivalent to Trump.

[msc545]

If I understand correctly, you believe that he is fearful? If so, what might he be fearful of?

[goaded]

Consequences. It's why he ran for president again after all.

[msc545]

@goaded he has not always faced such dire consequences, yet he has always behaved in the way he is behaving now. How would you analyze it given that?

[DryGermanGuy]

@msc545
I think being fearful would be attributing too much thinking to him, it's more the complexity of a brainstem reaction, just panic. His politics are just ramming something through without thinking about any consequences and the following week, after enough bad press, ramming it in the opposite direction, again without thinking about any consequences.
