Donald Trump starting a small war in some “shithole country” represented my worst-case scenario for a demented dictator backed into an electoral corner: a kind of mirthless joke. But today I read that he asked top aides last week about the possibility of striking Iran’s nuclear facilities. The senior officials “dissuaded the president from moving ahead with a military strike”, warning him that an attack could escalate into a broader conflict in the final weeks of his presidency. Trump still has access to the nuclear codes; the sooner he is out of the White House, the safer the world will be.
