“No one really knows what goes on inside the mind of President Donald Trump. But judging by the significant, ongoing U.S. military buildup in the Middle East, one can make an informed guess: He thinks a big war with Iran is a good idea. If that’s the case, he’s wrong — dangerously so — and he needs a dose of realism. This administration already claims to be guided by a ‘flexible realism’ in foreign policy. But no variant of realism, however flexible, recommends a U.S. war on the Islamic Republic at this juncture.” (02/20/26)
