Ross Harrison, an analyst at the Middle East Institute in Washington, said Trump campaigned on a promise to end "endless wars" and "stupid wars" in the Middle East, but now he is involved in a conflict that "seems to have no strategic logic at all." In the United States, a question we have never understood is: Does political logic still have weight in the Trump administration? During Trump's first term, we did see them looking at the poll numbers and looking at the performance of the stock market. But the question is: if the number of U.S. military casualties continues to rise, Will this actually affect the president's decision-making? It's not clear yet. What drives Trump now may no longer be conventional political pressures such as midterm elections or economic shocks, but that he is more concerned about how he will be positioned in history. The real concern is that the president's personal psychology matters more than the political cost. Questions that one would normally use to measure a normal president, such as whether the midterm elections and the economy will affect his decision-making, may now be irrelevant. And it is this that makes this conflict particularly dangerous.
