Unfortunately The Don only knows about people that Fox tells him are evil. That enemies list is so long that he will never hear about me.

That list includes a large number of administration officials who were fired or quit rather than perform corruption. And since his enemies list is so long, even the National Security Council has numerous vacant seats. He cannot find acceptable candidates who are not on his potential enemies list.

Worse, people he would like cannot get security clearances.

Fox told him that Soleimani was evil. To an egotist, that constitutes proof.

Jack Straw, the highly regarded British diplomat, is blunt. It was a gamble linked to US President Donald Trump's re-election bid. He then said everything Trump does is only about his reelection.

He also said, and this should be obvious to everyone, that it a gamble which would "play into the hands of the hardliners in Iran". How to make war happen? Undermine elected moderates by empowering the extremists in Iran.

That is what Trump wants. And does not know it. Because he has no strategy other than to appease extremists. So as to be reelected. He is more corrupt than Nixon.

Meanwhile a much more intelligent Iranian administration did as predicted. They intentionally targeted airbase regions where humans would not be killed. They performed a necessary and restrained response to avert escalation.
