Food for thought... What's stopping Trump for launching a military strike on Iran in the closing days of his term?
All the normal constraints that would limit a POTUS from making the kind of bold/reckless, long-lasting moves are out the window w/ Trump. What stops him from greenlighting a military strike, drawing America into a war as his final action as POTUS? It's his legal right as POTUS to do it. He has the "justification" based on Iran announcing they are going enrich their uranium stockpiles to 20%. Trump has already unilaterally launched an unprecedented attack on Iran. We've seen how he'll take down entire institutions based on pettiness (GOP lost GA b/c of 250k Trump voters didn't turn out for the runoff vs 30k Biden voters)
So what's to stop him from getting America into a war he'll have no responsibility to manage as a final F-U to everyone involved in ousting him after 1 term?
At this point, I'm not sure if the generals would follow orders from Trump, if they were rash.
So with all other normal constraints out the window, the thing we're hoping for is that Generals violate their oath and the chain of command to do "what's right?"
