Beyond that it's looking like another case of 'hurry up and wait'.
It's also bearing an expected resemblance to, 'Find me someone to kill as a way to distract from my broken promises, lies, and chronic criminal activity.'

Or that the impeachment has tipped him over the edge and he's completely lost the plot.

He is trapped. I think the impeachment hammer made him scared, and just like a drowning man he is hitting the waters around him to swim. I doubt he will ever make it.

I understand that Trump was presented with a list of options for responding to the embassy protests, killing Soleimani was one of them, indicated as the most extreme. Naturally that's the one he picked.
With the recent missile attack directly from Iran (no deaths reported) a lot depends on how Trump responds to that. Hopefully his advisors will leave the most extreme option off any list they give him this time.

I think Trump is about as worried about being removed from office as he is of turning up pregnant.

I think the Iranians pulled their punch.
Nobody killed - and they call it "victory".
Just enough to quiet the bloodthirsty home team - and not quite enough to give Trump an excuse to go ballistic.

@ AtlasS33 You also didn't use the full term the way he did, even before we changed the rule. Context means a lot to the mods here.

I heard news that 30-ish people were trampled in the burials of that general.

Make that 56 dead (last time I saw a figure) and over 200 injured.

He never knew where the plot was.
