Trump has lusted over being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (click Google search) for brokering a deal with Iran to assure they stopped their pursuit of nuclear weapons or for ending the war in Ukraine.
Thanks for sharing the link Reece, and thanks for joining in commenting. Trump will dismiss intelligence he doesn't want to hear, and Gabbard may not even share it with him.
Israel--or at least Netanyahu--has tried to convince the world--or at least the US--that if Iran is allowed to have nuclear weapons (which it may already have), the end is nigh. But look at the much larger, much worse actors on the world stage who already have these: Russia, China, North Korea. If only Israel could be less bellicose (and it could, under a different leader) and end its attempt to annihilate Palestine. Accept a two-state solution.
And yes, our president's fixation on the Peace Prize reflects his obsession with Obama and wanting to outperform him. Alas DJT can never become the first Black president.
If we join in the Israel/Iran war, there will be blowback on us worldwide for decades. All the Islamic terrorist groups will be after us. Given Trump's dismantlement of our military and intelligence leadership, we could well see major attacks on the scale of 9/11 here. I hope we don't get involved, but Trump wants his war.
So this is what happens when this petulant child feels emasculated by a poor parade turnout and lukewarm G7 acquiescence: he flies into the sun threatening. Given how he's gyrated so much about what he plans, who knows where he'll land.
Thank you for your comment. Try putting yourself into the minds of the leaders of both our allies and adversaries when they try to figure out what Turmp will do to have a grave impact on the world order.

I tried to make a case that he wants to be a war leader rather than a Nobel Preace winner. Look at all the images of Rambo he promotes of himself.
You're not wrong.
