"Both Putin and Trump clearly acted out of a kind of megalomania. Their behaviour is evil and unlawful, but rational motives are not the decisive factors. Rather, Putin and Trump are primarily concerned with their own greatness. Or what they consider that to be."

Greg Dworkin quotes Acyn of MeidasTouch, who says,

"Trump on Iran: We really had regime change. This is a change in the regime because the leaders are all different. I think we can say this is regime change."

"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."
