President Trump's war in Iran isn't so much a strategy as a game of "Risk," says the Times Opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie. On "The Opinions" podcast, he explains that the administration sees the world as "we big, they small," with other nations as non-playable characters reacting to America, the "protagonists of reality."
The Trump administration is confronting mounting discontent from allies in the Persian Gulf who have complained they were not given adequate time to prepare for the torrent of Iranian drones and missiles bombarding their countries in retaliation for strikes launched by the U.S. and Israel.
