I can say without hesitation that it was a good thing, for the US and the world, that Trump called off the attack.

I cannot say HE was "wise" to do so unless wise means he was right to worry about how a war might hurt his election chances--AFTER he had already ordered deadly airstrikes with strategically assessing the consequences ahead of time.

He was neither "wise" to back himself and the US military into this kind of corner nor wise to order a strike nor to publicly discuss a recall, nor to signal Iran that his hands may be tied by his re-election plans. (They have a lot of Hollo types over there in Iran, who grasp the dynamics of US politics better than US voters.)

So this is still about knowing the difference between good and bad judgment.

You aren't going to "duly note" my hypocrisy now, are you? Maybe just let folks "decide for themselves"? LOL

I can over simplify it for you.

It's like finding a hornet's nest. Then smacking said hornet's nest with a stick. Then not sticking your dick in the hornet's nest after you smacked it with a stick. And everyone would agree not sticking your dick in a hornet's nest after you smacked it with a stick is a very wise decision.
