Trump can’t back down. He has no other method of operation than application of further force to make his opponent yield.

You will do what I want, you’re making me do this. This is your fault I have to hurt you more. Anything you do in retaliation is your fault and not a justifiable reaction to what I’m doing to you and I will hurt you harder for everything you do to defend yourself.

He’s an abuser.

If he were to stop, that would mean losing face and the possibility be were wrong.

No narcissist can do that.

Yeah, going into a negotiation with a very public message of KISS THE BOOT OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES will generally have people going pretty far to keep it from looking like you're getting your way. It's a matter of dignity, and a lot of people take that quite seriously.

Imagine all it takes is the US and Israel to legit say say sorry to Iran and show Iran respect in the future to restore energy security and know you are fucked because of pride

Given the people involved, 'all' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence.

They did just defeat Trump ... he has no respect for anything.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He respects Vladimir Putin. Or at least his cock.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

That's envy. He dreams of being like Putin ... of course MAGA basically made him that way.

LIES! FALSE!
What about the respect for the hard work child traffickers put in? What about the redirect for other dictators? What about the respect for other child rapists?

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 3 points 23 hours ago

That is envy and sense of entitlement to "his share" ... its almost respect, but is still just the formless emotions of a soulless man baby.

I mean, there were 2 ships hit with drones… there are reasons for the insurers to be afraid

Yes, they fear the hot war Trump started without consulting any allies (except Bibi) nor any preparation

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Yes, they fear Irans response to the hot war Trump started. Why is this such a difficult concept to grasp?
