If you are telling ordinary Iranians to get to the streets to topple their government after tens of thousands were just murdered for protesting, while also suggesting there is an off-ramp for Iranian officials, it does not inspire confidence

News Analysis: President Trump propelled himself to the highest office by promising to focus on “America first.” The self-declared “president of peace” has since chosen to become the president of war, unleashing the full power of the U.S. military on Iran with the goal of toppling its government.

In the past two years, I attended numerous government and think tank meetings where it was fashionable to question and debate the casualty figures in Gaza as a way to distract from the human tragedy, Israel's brutal conduct of the war and Israel's ultimate aim (ethnic cleansing).

I really like this from Robert Paxton as an explainer of Trump's role. He has hatreds and enjoys seeing women, blacks, and dirty leftists getting roughed up and killed. He cares nothing about how it works so long as he is delivered the violence he enjoys.
We saw in the previous chapter how the self-indulgently bohemian
 Hitler spent as little time as possible on the labors of government, at least
 until the war. He proclaimed his visions and hatreds in speeches and ceremonies, and allowed his ambitious underlings to search for the most radical way to fulfill them in a Darwinian competition for attention and
 reward. His lieutenants, fully aware of his fanatical views, “worked toward
 the Führer,”26 who needed mainly to arbitrate among them. Mussolini,
 quite unlike Hitler in his commitment to the drudgery of government,
 refused to delegate and remained suspicious of competent associates—a
 governing style that produced more inertia than radicalization.
 War provided fascism’s clearest radicalizing impulse. It would be
 more accurate to say that war played a circular role in fascist regimes.
 Early fascist movements were rooted in an exaltation of violence sharpened by World War I, and war making proved essential to the cohesion,
 discipline, and explosive energy of fascist regimes. Once undertaken, war
 generated both the need for more extreme measures, and popular acceptance of them. It seems a general rule that war is indispensable for the
 maintenance of fascist muscle tone (and, in the cases we know, the occasion for its demise).
