This further reinforces something I’ve been arguing for a while now; Trump doesn’t want to start a war.
He’s a big fan of military power. He loves flexing, loves brandishing his YUGE military. And he loves quick, decisive military action. The bombing raids in Nigeria and Iran, the kidnapping of Maduro. But he doesn’t like war, and he’s very, very hesitant to push for any kind of protracted military action. He wants quick, easy results. He wants instant gratification. War is long and complicated and messy, and when people die everyone gets upset at you. Trump doesn’t have the patience or the willpower for long term projects and war is very much a long term project.
He was out of control talking shit before though, unpredictable, even as he reliably sold out to powerful interests he needed on his side. He’s less cognizant, and less in control of anything, than prior. In the 2020 election he was very active in leading the attempt to start the steal for instance, something he would be incapable of now.

Yeah, classic bully behavior. He doesn’t want a fight, he wants to push a smaller kid to the ground and take his money.
He’s a fucking coward, that’s the word.
Setting aside all other evil shit, having a coward running the world’s deadliest war machine is a nice change of pace.
He is not calling the shots, the project 2025 people are.
He’s never been anything but a puppet.
