Trump has his fingers on the codes. He is that desperate to obliterate the world to avoid prison.

Even if he doesn’t die the market value of his real estate would decline sharply…

I don’t think Trump feels any angst about going to prison, not after the immunity ruling.

He just wants to push Epstein off the front pages.

I’m guessing he thinks he will get a patriotic boost in the polls, and he might, but he will still be underwater approval-wise.

That he can still pull the 'war president' shtick expecting some kind of boost in the polls. Problem with that is, it's old hat and we're way past that socially. We can see what this is about and he is mistakenly thinking we're stupid enough to buy it.

Or would it be the whole world against us and Putin? I don't like those odds. Of course, I don't like the thought of us going into any wars, but who knows what that abomination in the White House will force us into next.

Not Russia- they can barely feed the meat grinder in Ukraine.

Not China- they are happy to sit back and watch the US in decline.

Now, those countries may help arm Iran, but that doesn’t make it WWIII.
