It's a combination of a few things:
Seize the largest oil reserve in the world, specifically that has heavy crude which is the type that America has lots of refineries for.
Set the tone for the rest of the world, some macho bravado bullshit, just typical little insecure dictator stuff.
Distract from domestic issues: Epstein, economic issues, ICE abducting people in the street, all the corruption from the regime (pardoning crypto criminals because they paid Trump $2B, etc)
God damn, two FUCKING inches.
Two inches?
I'm guessing it's a reference to how far the piece of glass from the podium that hit Trump's ear as a result of the first assassination attempt was from hitting him fatally if it had been the bullet, which it wasn't.
