I think he genuinely doesn't understand
In other breaking news, the sun is expected to set in the West this evening and rise in the East tomorrow morning.
Trump is well versed in bullying weaker opponents to do his will. But he rarely goes up against strong opponents - opponents who are figuratively (or in this case, literally) willing to fight to the death.
He has put himself in a no win situation in Iran. He may or may not yet realize that. I suspect he has an inkling that he’s in a weak position, as he’s getting more strident, which is a bully’s go-to tactic when things are bad.
The big risk is that he will resort to nuclear weapons to “win” in Iran. That would be a disaster of epic proportions.
Let’s hope that he can be reined in before it comes to that.
