The Trump admin had a real theory of war: Put on a show of toughness, tell people how manly you are, disdain law, do war crimes, and you win. Earlier losses came from leaders too "weak" to do that. It was a very stupid theory. But they espoused it a lot, really seem to believe it, and acted on it. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:eivqo2tskdfn4dbrm3dv2mku/post/3mruogpzj3s2k
