Is it true that Trump is just making a way to delay his trial with the senate that's why he bombed Iraq? This kind of big issue triggers WW3. Does he even think?
Calling it WW3 is stupid and arrogant (USA and Iran are NOT the world), but a "new" conflict to "unite" the masses back home sounds pragmatically correct. Maybe he could be re-elected (or thinks so) from this?
They could make of Iran another Iraq, but the costs of a new invasion, can he justify it? Well provoke so then they "have to defend" (invading) sounds like it It'll do the trick...
Funny how a little executive order allowing a lone drone to fire, can actually easily overcome the Legislative branch. Congress is overrated.
