NYT is such trash.
Still whitewashing the rambling senile narcism of a failed businessman leading a fascist regime as a planned "strategy" with "a cost".
Gaslighting is not journalism and neither is this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

All of our sanity?
The style of someone who never got a well deserved slap
Well yeah who couldn't think unpredictability is long term a huge problem, especially when it comes to "deal making" above all things. IE you start with the "we'll give him what he asks for or he might attack us", but 1. that encourages everyone to eventually co-operate to get the bully in check... also it wears thinner when you don't respect deals you've already made. Your unpredictable enough and "give me $1 or I nuke your country", simple request, but if your unpredictability is high enough... they've got no reason to think you won't nuke them even if you give the dollar... hell actually more reason to think possibly the opposite, maybe your possesion of the dollar is the only reason he hasn't nuked you already.
I mean, you can't deny that there is logic in calling dementia "unpredictable style"
His electoral prospects? He has none. He can't be reelected. As for fearing the consequences of his actions, that's kinda the point of working with your opponents instead of attacking them. Treat them like the enemy and you'll be the enemy when they're in power. It's too bad he's too stupid to figure that out.
"Unpredictable style" is code word for "I'm a fucking moron and have no idea what I'm doing I just used bigotry to get where I am".
