It seems in his second term, Trump has show more bluster and a greater willingness to use military force than in his first term. Just this year: Operation Southern Spear vs Venezula; Operation Midnight Hammer on Iran; Operation Rough Rider in Yemen; Attacks in Syria, Somalia, Nigeria. Threats to launch attacks inside Mexico. Threats against the sovereignty of Greenland, Panama, and even Canada.

Is all this simply an effort to distract from Epstein and other woes, or is there something more dangerous going on here? Could Trump be starting to exhibit signs of megalomania? Is he starting to get addicted to the adrenaline rush of using the vast military power at his disposal? And is this happening parallel to his noticeable cognitive decline?

One more thing to be alarmed about going into the new year.
