They had no right to keep playing when we were ahead.

Because this is moronic at every level.

He doesn't understand war in general, this war specifically, and its pathetic.

Conversely, Trump thinks reality will be shaped by whatever he thinks.

The war is over, won a while back, and Trump also thinks he is immortal!

What is the opposite of 'sane'?

Trump is probably unaware that Iran was once called Persia, and has a long history of fighting wars the strategically smart way.

"From the Achaemenid conquests to modern U.S.-Iran conflicts, Persia/Iran’s history is defined by its resilience, strategic military campaigns, and the ability to maintain a distinct national identity despite repeated invasions and wars. Its legacy includes both territorial expansion and cultural influence across the Middle East, Central Asia, and beyond."

But Trump isn't a student of history, and probably doesn't know how to use Google.

We're basically being raped daily by earthly manifestations of the spirit of abject stupidity.

This F47 comment emanates like Hawking radiation from a vast black hole of stupid from which no thought can escape.

I assure you on that point.

Trump is a classic bully type who doesn't know what to do if his victim gets up and punches back.

No one in his immediate vicinity is keen enough to tell him his expiry date has long since passed - and that is by deliberate design on his part.
