Donald Trump is gearing up on a big decision: Should he escalate the Iran war to the point of a crushing defeat that ends the USA’s status as a world power permanently? It’s a difficult decision. On the one hand, further escalation would kill thousands, disrupt the world in economy in ways that will cause massive suffering, and render his nation a doomed shadow of itself. On the other hand, going out in a blaze of glory like that would be pretty sweet. #Iran #trump #usa #war #westasia
