“War is an extreme action and, thus, triggers extreme reactions. Including extreme stupidity. It’s always disheartening — or ought to be — to see what should be a last resort comes to pass. It’s worse when a war is accompanied by cruelty, callousness, recklessness, and idiocy, though for obvious reasons that might be unavoidable. As for Trump’s war in Iran — which could well be an immense blunder — it has been enveloped in layers of excessive dumbness. I’m not talking about the strategic wisdom — or lack thereof — of this attack, which could precipitate calamities throughout the region and beyond. Or the madness of impulsively launching such a war without planning for what comes afterward. I’m referring to how it has prompted imbecility among its supporters, including at the White House.” (03/11/26)
