The phrase “stupid is as stupid does” comes to mind…

Except that this man is… malignant — as well as as stupid.

Trump just demanded the “unconditional surrender” of Iran, in order to stop the bombings.

Six days ago, he killed the entire leadership team that would have had that authority, on behalf of the Iranian people, to execute an unconditional surrender.

This is exactly why you don’t take out heads of state: because then you’re left with no one to negotiate / enforce the putative surrender.

Trump himself said that the people he was hoping would lead… are all dead.

That makes it a little tough to figure out who could possibly offer a surrender that would hold.

The man has less than a third grade understanding of world affairs.

Updated — Friday late: Trump now says “surrender” happens when all Iranian troops put down their arms, and walk away.

This would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic: so every single soldier and navy swabbie and air force tech or captain… must completely… desert their posts, in order for the bombing to end?

Idiot. How will he know — how will he and Bibi monitor?! This is… disgustingly stupid — and lethal to our troops.

And so, our troops will continue dying — for this willful ignorance — day by day.

Damn.
