War of Ego

Trump, tending to his easily-wounded ego, is going to launch a ground invasion of Iran, and its only accomplishment will be the deaths of thousands of American troops. Of course, if this happens, Trump won’t relent, but will double down. He’ll send in tens of thousands more, and they’ll die too. Iran has 610,00 active-duty soldiers who, being soldiers defending against an invading force, have a will and reason to fight viciously.

I have a feeling that multiple people surrounding Trump are using variations of the familiar middle school phrase, “Are you really going to let them make you look like a fool?” or, “Iran is embarrassing you on the world stage!” We all know what effect this has on people like Trump. Soldiers will die because of it.
