I wouldn't be surprised if Iran chose this moment to do something. It's a chess game.
By the way, who writes this stuff he reads? Crude, third-rate propaganda.

(7,582 posts)1. Why not? Trumpy has no inner core, and will do what he perceives as a win.
Whatever that is. He won't do a war with NK, however, because running a war takes a lot of time, work, and energy. And Trumpy is, if anything, lazy. If Putin has the goods on Trumpy, he'll do anything to keep from paying the price of surrendering anything that makes him vulnerable. So Putin could direct Trumpy to do anything, and his wish is Trumpy's command.
