Trump wants iran to make a big move, to justify dropping bombs.

He desperately wants to be a wartime president but he doesn’t want the blame of starting the war (he’s stupid enough to think this is possible)

I don't think he wanted a war. I think he wanted conquest without resistance, like a rapist. Now he has no plan or successful way to offramp.

When you have no empathy, you can't actually understand your opponent.

the criminal president turned ice into ravagers, the army into kidnappers, and the navy into pirates.

Causing a full-on war, giving him justification to cancel the election (that he would lose).

The other key difference being between Ukraine’s and the US’s constitutions. There is no legal mechanism for suspending elections in the US

He wants the oil prices to go sky high, to reward all his abettors. Who, if not the oil companies themselves, have invested thusly. Prolly a promise made prior even to getting elected.

So we are just pirates now, right? Kidnapping people, seizing ships with cargo... should we replace the flag with a Jolly Roger?

I’m curious as to why this post is 17 hours old, yet it JUST appeared in my refreshed feed with comments that are only a few minutes old. Hmmm.
