All Trump is doing is to find what formula of words and behaviors that lead him to the highest level of popularity. Or said another way, reduce the maximum amount of shame.

This is the sort of thing he has always done and always will do. He's crazy, and this is one way he acts that way.

Trump has actual voices in his head. They are legion. Putin and Netanyahu are just two of them.

*** Vladimir Putin Vows Unwavering Support for Iran's New Ayatollah ***

Meanwhile, Dummkopf Trumpf bleated to junta apparatchiks that he's open to murdering Mojtaba Khamenei (Source: WSJ)

Why is the spiritual head of a religion a legitimate military target?

The US is a country of killers led by a cheap mafioso wannabe.

Why would he want this war to end?

It's weakening America.

It's creating an increased demand for oil.

Trump rolled back Russian Oil Sanctions.

Putin is dangling his oil in front of Europe and they'll capitulate soon enough.

This all a win for Russia.

Great points, Clownshack.

The French moved their aircraft carrier to the Middle East and Ukraine may be sending anti-drone weapons to the US.

Europe is weaker now thanks to Bibi.

But Vladimir Putin vowing his undying loyalty to the new ayatollah doesn't cost him one ruble.

And Putin still needs Shahed drones from Iran, so he has to make nice with the Iranian military-industrial complex.
