I have observed that Trump has a behavior pattern such that when he feels he is under attack, he lashes out at vulnerable targets to take out his anger. For example, the attack on NFL players came at a time when he was under sharp attack from the press. Right now Trump feels threatened. Check this out: Trump is not in control of his emotions right now. But he has all of the power of the president of the US. Will Trump lash out and start a war with Iran out of anger?
It is far more likely that Iran will provoke a war with some one than Trump will provoke one with Iran.
What a joke. The military industrial complex wants him to go to war with any country they think they can kick around.
I really don't think so. Although there is likely plurality among the military elite of this country, you would likely find that there is a substantial portion of them who would welcome such a conflict.
Perhaps you did not understand the context and therefore missed the point. I posted the video to provide support for the notion that Trump feels threatened right now. Looking at Trump's past behavior, when he feels as if he is under fire, he picks on vulnerable adversaries to vent his anger. Iran is vulnerable. Therefore an incident such as shooting down a US drone, which before got a rebuke, might this top elicit an over the top response, and therefore lead to a full blown war. That said, it is speculation, but it is not totally unfounded.
That may have been true a few months ago, but right now, at this localized point in time, Trump is more likely to start one over some trivial offense.
Last week was a perfect example of Trump lashing out. He accused the Jews of being disloyal. He claimed the PM of Iceland was "nasty". He said he was going to award himself the Medal of Honor.. and two other things. Oh he blasted the Fed... and the G 7 Summit. He's a creep.. He just wants to be the center of attention 24-7.
As it becomes more and more clear he is losing his support base and therefore the upcoming election, it becomes more likely he will resort to something like this in desperation....scary to even consider but, there it is.
Exactly. It will create quite a bit of psychological stress from him due to his over inflated ego. As I said before, it may end up inflicted some substantial psychological harm on him.
Read Ivana Trump's Memoirs. Read up on Trump's life and why his parents sent him to military boarding school so far from home. He was a bully who was compulsive about "winning" .. He's never had any ambition except greed.
That will not stop him, and I am unsure of the Pentagon anymore....he has decimated leadership and almost turned it into a fan club.
WOW! It MAY be true https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4539784/Even-child-Donald-Trump-horror.html Amazing. I had just casually noticed the behavior. It may be a bigger problem that I thought. Thanks for pointing that out.
Nope, you don't get "just once more" on something everyone knows is rock solid true. Trump cannot accept responsibility, so he lashes out when he fails and when he is criticized for failing.
Trump could just bomb them with drones and never call it a "war". That would be fine right? Let him go drone some hospitals and civilian wedding parties.
Just so you know, part of the oath that Military personal take when being sworn in, is 'I will fight to protect the constitution of the United States of America!'
Barking up the wrong tree here bro. Never advocated for such a thing. Nor the idea that we had the right to kill Osama bin Ladin because we are one nation under God. Sorry, but I don't buy such ill conceived notions, no matter who they come from. Sorry Charlie. Try again.
Yeah they swear such a thing, but at the end of the day, people with power determine what the constitution means and enforce what they want, they way they want.
