Nobel laureate Paul Krugman looks at a politically bankrupt and demented Malignant Fascist and cautions we should be afraid of what he might do. The opening paragraphs of an excellent article:
"According to CNN, all-out war with Iran may be about to resume:
The US military has developed new strike plans that include potentially using the so-called 'mother of all bombs' to target Iranian energy infrastructure and nuclear sites should President Donald Trump give the order to resume combat operations either before or after the midterm elections, according to multiple US officials familiar with the matter.
Trump says that he won’t order a strike before the midterms. But Robert Pape, author of the Substack Escalation Trap, argues that we shouldn’t believe him — that the bombs may well drop before the midterms. And while I am not a strategic expert, I believe that Pape may well be right, because his analysis of Trump’s political position is something I recognize from financial economics.
You see, it’s a well-understood proposition that the owners of businesses that are on the verge of going bust often engage in destructive behavior. And Trump is about to go bankrupt — not financially (he’s made billions through corruption) but politically. So he, like a failing businessman, has strong incentives to wreak havoc." (our emphasis)
The narcissistic con man is running out of cons (except for ones that enrich him) with his gullible cult members. The deeper he digs the hole of the Iran war, the more deranged and desperate he'll be. Fair warning.
