Trump's foolish war.
Iran’s military capabilities—though substantial—did not pose a threat on par with those of Russia and China and should have been prioritized accordingly.

Opinion | This Is Not a Man in Control of Himself

Trump is in far over his head. He lacks the skill and patience to find a way out of his self-inflicted catastrophe. Unable to will a better outcome into existence his response, familiar to anyone who must manage the emotions of a young child, is to throw a tantrum.

You always have to pay attention to what is actually happening, not what Trump says is happening. Because Trump lies about everything. Too often media serves as Trump’s daily stenographer, passing along his propaganda verbatim.

Hoodwinking the MAGAs.

Trump’s Iran war victory boast has echoes of Bush’s ill-fated ‘mission accomplished’ claim US president says all major sticking points have been ironed out ahead of peace talks, but some of his assertions seem dubious

Hmmm. Not so fast, sounds like a deception. The Straight of Hormuz was open before the war. Iranians acceding to constrict their uranium program was the main point of the Obama treaty [JCPOA] which Trump trashed. The Iranian regime remains with their missiles. 🤦

Trump’s mental state is in decline – and it’s time we talked about it Increasingly incoherent speeches, a highly volatile temperament and brazen narcissism. The president’s behaviour is much easier to understand, writes Alan Rusbridger, if we all come to terms with one ...

"The second coming of Trump has been accompanied by the creeping acknowledgement that he might either be mad or senile. And as things fall apart in his mind, so anarchy is loosed upon the rest of the world."

Trump Looks Frantic So much bluster signifying nothing

Moronic lunacy:
"The thing Trump most wants to do—extract a face-saving deal from Iran before he wrecks the world economy and Republican electoral chances along with it—remains beyond his reach. The more brutally Trump speaks, the more frantic he looks."

Why Trump’s Speech Was So Worrying Certain outcomes to the U.S. war in Iran now seem more likely than ever.

Trump's speech on Iran "was perhaps the clearest evidence yet that the leader of the world’s predominant superpower is an utterly chaotic thinker, whose aptitude for his job—never obvious to begin with—appears to be in accelerating decline."
