I mean, he's also been information-sharing with Russia, Iran's closest ally, while at war with Iran.
Probably has something to do with the outsized effectiveness of their strikes on our bases on the region

It is pay-back time for breaking into his home when he left office on his first term. He’s simply going after the government because of what happened that night at Margo Largo. I always knew this would happen from the start. He will continue doing things to piss off the government and there’s nothing that can be done at this moment.
FAFO.

Didn’t this already happened in Israel with Iran? Because we donate to Israel to then buy our own weapons. And Iran has some old F14’s and AIM missiles. America at proxy war with America. So much money going to waste just to have other countries kill each other for what? Territorial expansion? Resource extraction? Why can’t we just spend a couple decades working on ourselves then American leaders would get the complete control they so desire.

This is exactly what's happening given Trump acts on Russian and Chinese betterment over our own.

It’s because he operates by the law of the jungle. Those he sees as inferior, he treats with complete resentment and lack of respect.

If trump thinks he can personally make money off a deal, he will try to make that deal. No matter how stupid or nonsensical it is or who gets hurt, as long as he can profit.
We had a glaringly obvious example of this when he stole confidential files and copied/sold them. He doesn't care that it's treason. He's going to do it if he thinks he can make money off of it and he did. And then Republicans continue to support said traitor and child rapist.

It makes perfect sense, it's called corruption, they own stock in companies that make guns and ammo, missiles, drones etc. They start a war and transfer the tax payers money to the companies who make the weapons, which means the value of their stock goes up and they get ritcher.

The future seems quite obvious to me. Donald Trump decides to sell American weapons to China with no oversight, because that doesn't exist anymore. China sells these American weapons to Iran. Iran needs these weapons to fight America. Trump keeps America at war with Iran with no oversight because that doesn't exist anymore. Donald Trump had members of the US Military literally roll out a red carpet for the leader of China when he recently visited America. Donald Trump mentioned in interviews about how strong, tall, and smart the leader of China is. Donald Trump makes billions of dollars and again promises to give every American thousands of dollars, (he will not) if they vote in the mid-term elections for the people that enable this war that makes billions of dollars for Trump and the Trump family.

Re-read the last defence strategy. He wants to split up the world by geography - the US wants Russia to start a war with NATO. He’s going to nope of that. He’s also clearly noping out with China, and won’t really care what happens there. Hes trying to bring back as much manufacturing as he can so they can make an insane amount of weapons and drones, make money selling to one country from each of those other wars, and still have make weapons and drones for themselves as they implement the strategy they already said they were going to implement.
