War in Iran makes Donald Trump weaker and angrier - The Economist
Kyiv • UNN
A reckless campaign against Iran weakens Trump's influence and Republican unity. The conflict could force the US to abandon Ukraine to punish Europe.
An ill-conceived US war against Iran will change the course of Donald Trump's second presidential term. This is reported by The Economist, according to UNN.
Details
It is noted that Trump's "reckless campaign" could make him more dangerous.
Even a short war will change the course of his second term. A war that lasts for months could lead to his downfall
In their opinion, the reason is that the fight against Iran diminishes Trump's three "political superpowers": his ability to impose his own reality on the world, his ruthlessness in using his own leverage, and his dominance over the Republican Party.
Even without Iran, the power of these Trump strengths is likely to diminish after the midterm elections. Wars accelerate change
Journalists also do not rule out that Trump may turn away from Ukraine to punish Europe for his likely defeat in the Middle East. At the same time, the war in Iran reduces the power of the US president, and his actions could weaken American alliances, benefiting China and Russia.
Recall
Earlier, US President Donald Trump called the Pentagon's request for $200 billion a "small price" for providing the army with everything necessary to wage war with Iran.
