In the same way you can predict what will happen to a bridge that is unstable. It doesn't matter which bad option he winds up choosing, the fact he's not choosing the good option is what makes him unpredictable.


Look, I'm no Trump supporter and not trying to defend his actions. But this comment just doesn't explain anything. Why would the Russians or Chinese choose to drive over the unstable bridge? The 'bad option he chooses' could be "bomb Three Gorges Dam" or something.

I'm also no fan of war or playing world police. I don't know whether destroying Iranian nuclear sites was ultimately the right or wrong decision. But there is clearly enough debate here in the rest of the comments that it's not obviously the wrong option. Even a broken clock can be right twice a day.
