"We have ourselves a Dunning-Kruger president, one who is supremely confident in his abilities on a range of topics where he is completely ignorant. And now he has taken us into a Dunning-Kruger war, defined by that fatal combination of ignorance and confidence." ~ Paul Waldman #Trump #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /1 https://paulwaldman.substack.com/p/a-dunning-kruger-war-courtesy-of

"Especially in an administration so driven by the whims of one man, that man’s ignorance and unearned confidence can have a profound, even catastrophic effect. In the Iran war, we can see Trump’s ignorance operating at multiple levels from the general to the specific, each of which has its own consequences." #Trump #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /2

"Or what they consider that to be. That is what makes them so unpredictable. Consequently, they couldn’t care less about international law. Second parallel: their megalomania has led to massive military miscalculation." #Trump #Putin #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /6

"This is the first war of my lifetime that lacks even a coherent phony justification. It's also the first war of my lifetime in which the president who launched it is simultaneously engaged in a desperate search for a trapdoor through which he can escape." ~ Charles Pierce #Trump #Iran #war #stupidity #megalomania #narcissism #DunningKruger /3 https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a70838293/iran-war-trump-82nd-airborne/
