There is always a bit of that, but Trump and his team--I believe are aware they hold the cards with the greatest military power and quick reach. Again, the only truly wild card is the Iran leadership--but even their expressions are mostly posturing. IMO--the danger right now comes for Russia and Ukraine. A weakened Russia is a dangerous Russia. The true evil is the American based warmongers who are playing an incredibly selfish and dangerous game over there.
We should stop all support for Ukraine--period. Zelensky is insane.
