"Concepts" of a strategy.

No strategy is technically a strategy, confuse the opponent!

Of course he's exasperated - he has dementia. He lacks the cognition to be anything but exasperated. No way he has the capacity to understand the situation.

It's not just dementia. There are other DSM categories that apply: primarily malignant narcissism and being a cunt.

being a cunt.

Having never studied psycology or ever opened the DSM, I must accept this as a valid mental health diagnosis that could be given.

True. My grandma would be the same were she in the war room with the generals.

He fucked up so badly that there are no good options left. The least bad is to surrender, even if it means paying compensation, and to get the fuck away from Hormuz and Iran.

So now he's just looking for scapegoats but has no ideas of his own that won't make things even worse. He's too vain and stupid to ever admit that it's his fault that he was such a dim bulb as to get suckered by Netanyahu's tired old sales pitch.

And if we surrender, we’ll pay both reparations AND Iran will keep the Strait shut to punish us until Trump is either peaceably or forcefully removed from power.

trump exasperated that, after starting a potential WW3, it still isn't enough to deflect from his pervert degeneracy. Release the trump/epstein mp4's.

Ok, this comment is pure gold. So true - thank you.

Note how an attempt was made to appease him by pointing out there were some "tactical victories", before immediately pointing out they are facing defeat:

The same official warned the administration has “had a series of tactical victories,” but is “facing a strategic defeat without clear policy guidance or a decision about where this is going.”

And it seems the victor doesn't feel compelled to negotiate:

Another person close to Trump told NBC News that the president has become increasingly discouraged by Iran’s refusal to strike a deal.

This yields strong "Who knew?" vibes, though concerning provoking war as opposed to addressing a nation's healthcare needs:

“The president is exasperated,” the ally said. “I don’t think he believed it was going to be this difficult to get the Iranians to agree to a deal. … There was not a real strategy for how long or what they should do to get to the endpoint.”

“He did not intend this to be a long, drawn-out war,” the ally added.

Pedophiles and dummies are the two things his whole administration is made up with.

That's not true, there are also toadies.

They generally fall into the dummies category.
