Bold assumption that he looked at any of them at all for even a moment.

I was going to say exactly this. The man barely even has a coherent thought, he is not reading or looking at shit!

Probably didn't even plug Iran into a search engine once. Definitely doesn't remember using it as a crutch repeatedly.

Well, we attacked the country to the east, spent a trillion dollars, and failed to achieve our objective.

Then we attacked the country to the west, spent a trillion dollars, and failed to achieve our objective.

Why not complete the hat trick? Granted, with inflation, it will probably cost two trillion. But in the end, we'll get the same result - failing to achieve our objective.

That's assuming that "winning" a war is the objective and I don't think that's the case. Lots of people make lots of money from war, among many other objectives, and that is more true the longer the wars drag on.

Trump doesn’t look at anything unless it’s an under aged girl or a Big Mac and Diet Coke.
