The USA And Israel Have Started Bombing Iran: A Primer

Phillips P. OBrien

Though he has campaigned for years on reducing America’s military interventions abroad, and much of his base therefore adopted this belief, Trump has become increasingly enamored of the use of military force within specific limits. He has seen the US military as a way of getting cheap wins, of executing what he can claim are overwhelmingly successful operations and for which he can take credit. It has led him down a very different path than that he had campaigned upon. He now sees using the US military as a real political plus, though he has to do it within certain parameters. He will not want US soldiers to die and he will desperately need to convince the American public that the US of military force is a success.
