Is tRump so desperate to salvage his election chances that he'll start a war?

[cynatnite]

He's warring against the Dems, he's warring with China over trade and now we might be getting a real war with Iran.

Bolton must be doing bad dancing in the oval office.

1. He wouldn't be the first.

[cynatnite]

3. The memories will never go away. n/t

[Siwsan]

2. Yes

He probably figures he's got nothing to lose, and everything (including $$$$) to gain. I despise him with each and every cell, in my body, straight down to the bone marrow.

4. I think it's misdirection right now but

he may well try to get into it for his survival

Putin could back some terrorists to create the illusion of an attack from somewhere to start a war.

I think he knows he's doomed if he doesn't win reelection

5. I don't think so. People have been predicting he's going to start a war since January 2017.

It hasn’t happened, and I’ll be surprised if he does.

[Brawndo]

9. He won't start one until he loses on Nov 3, 2020

and it won't be a foreign one.

6. Yes he would start a war in a heartbeat. Regardless of the reason all you would hear is

"Support the Troops" and Walmart would begin selling yellow ribbons for our cars. America loves it's wars.

[SCantiGOP]

7. Yes, he is

And yes, he will.
I have been expecting this for a while. A Gulf of Tonkin type incident, especially if a few US military personnel are killed, could see 80% support for retaliation, and Trump’s approval jumping double digits.
It could well result in Russian ships protecting Iranian vessels in the Straits of Hormuz, and Trump’s ego on the line to take decisive action against them.
Or best safeguard is that I do think enough of the military top brass hate and fear Trump so much that they would expose the fraud if it occurred.

8. I don't think he will start a war. His bark is worse than his bite, and he's too lazy.

He's had plenty of opportunities and reasons to, but really it's one bluff after another.

I also don't think he's afraid of going to jail. A narcissist never believes they will have to pay for their crimes. Their biggest fear is having to admit fault.

If he loses the election, he will blame somebody else, then try to bluff and delay his way out of jail. He might even succeed at it. He's very good at getting away with stuff.

[cynatnite]

10. He handed the military decision-making to the generals...

Starting a war in the first place would be his choice.

[UniteFightBack]

11. I think this is loser issue from all quarters. Very few Americans no matter what stripe would

support this.

[Hortensis]

12. I think he's afraid of but fascinated by his power. Yes.

He's cornered and increasingly desperate. There are many who want him to remain in power who are not.

I also believe he'd love -- and benefit tremendously from -- a nice, big terrorist attack that couldn't be blamed on him and the Republican Party, not that he's conspire with a foreign government to make it happen, of course.

[world wide wally]

13. I'm sure he's investing in the bomb making business right now
