I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, I just believe this administration has become so unhinged that that sort of logic no longer matters. I think he wants to drop a nuke. I also think that as he continues to lose it, the more depraved members of his admin as well as other countries are finally able to push him over the edge and there aren’t any generals left to stop him from escalating until it gets to that point. That was his last chance to get a peace prize and afterwards he specifically said he no longer felt constrained to peace. The ultimate narcissistic injury response.
I don’t blame you for feeling that way. However, from my perspective very little of Trump’s foreign policy is a major departure from historical US strategy. I know it can seem like Trump is singlehandedly driving the US down, but I think he’s more of a symptom than a cause.
