If you look at this war as an isolated event it makes no sense.
If you understood the geopolitical ramifications it was inevitable.

I think his plan is: Bomb Iran. Send Americans to die there. Wait a few weeks for the protests to kick off, then seed them with violence ... send in the troops to American cities. Americans die here. Try to stop the elections, because they're all toast if Congress switches with a big enough majority. He's so unpopular, there's no way he survives this politically unless he gets to stay as a dicktaster.
