    The fact no attack happened suggests someone knew he wasn’t on the sacrificial plane.

    If you are the Iranian military, would you want your enemy to be led by Mr Trump or someone else?

      Maybe someone else wouldn’t bomb elementary schools. Sure it’s a maybe, but maybe that’s a worthy dice roll.

        I saw a take that was just “he has no attention span, the only way to get him to care is to make it feel engaging and exciting”

        And thus the idea of the attack was crafted to get him re-invested in the war. To make him see it as important and not just an annoying thing he wants to go away. And… given that kegseth went with him… yah… feels like a stunt.
