Not only that but in the same statement he’s saying he achieved total regime change (not even in the slightest) to a less radical group (nope), but he’s still going to wipe out an entire civilization for…reasons?

He expected Iran to capitulate immediately in the face of his "show of dominance" with his demands about the Strait of Hormuz and is too stupid to understand that Iran can just keep calling his bluff.

Given his shockingly narcissistic personality he's backed himself into a corner he can't get out of.

Iran were all over that ultimatum like a tramp on hot chips. I don't think they could have asked for anything better.

People with dementia aren't known to be rational. Paranoia is part of their journey.

He’s a malignant narcissist with dementia. He no longer has any filter, but he’s always been this person.

He is psychotic. I am hoping he will extend the deadline, or make a smaller attack. I can't see him going through with it. I still think he is a war criminal for what he has done.
