24. It's not a metter of cahones

People keep debating political strategy and calculations as if that has anything to do with it.

Trump is mentally ill. Malignant Narcissists choose war. Frontotemporal dementia makes it worse. Both conditions progress with time and are worsened by positions of power.

The diagnosis of Malignant Narcissism was created to explain Hitler. Stalin wasn't prepared for Hitler's invasion of Russia, despite warnings by US intelligence and his own generals, because it was so illogical for Hitler to attack Russia at that time.

Trump want's to play with his toys. He doesn't listen to advisers. The people around him won't stand up to him. Malignant narcissism is contagious.

I don't think we are really prepared for what could happen. We have never been here before.
