"It looks like the US is about to launch a major attack on Iran — again.
The problem is, no one seems to know exactly what Trump is after or why he is doing this now. He’s about to write a new chapter in the long and (mostly) ignominious history of American presidents thinking they can bend the world to their will by dropping bombs on foreign countries, yet he himself doesn’t seem to know why, let alone how it’s supposed to end."

"Donald Trump’s decision to order airstrikes against Iran will hinge in part on the judgment of Trump’s special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, about whether Tehran is stalling over a deal to relinquish its capacity to produce nuclear weapons, according to people familiar with the matter."

"What else is a raging, malignant narcissist to do to distract from his many failures at home? There’s child-rape accusations against him in the Epstein files, the sinking economy and his tariff loss from SCOTUS, his 36 percent approval rating with only 19 percent of voters strongly approving of him, etc., etc.!"
