"Winning on day 1". My theory on Trump having the Ayatollah killed.
The premise is that Trump thought that by killing their leader, all of Iran would collapse because without him, the US would collapse.
He projected a delusion fueled by his worshipping cult both internally at the White House and externally by his actual maniacal cult.
He IS the state so every other country must be the same. With their leader gone, they’d naturally rally around his omnipresent strength.
1. underpants needs to
less and
a WHOLE lot less. When DU-grade Progs claim to understand Trump or conservatives generally, you know absurdity is coming.
2. If Trump reeeeeeally thought taking out the Assatollah would bring down Iran, why were so many other targets hit? Especially SAM systems? Taking out SAM systems is what you do to prepare for further strikes in the days and weeks to come.
3. BTW, IIRC, it was Israeli planes that took out the Assatollah & Crew on that first day. US planes and missiles hit other, mostly military assets and facilities, targets.
