German media: "Trump's greatest strength is unpredictability"
Commenting in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, it is argued that the Iran conflict not only drains American military resources but also reveals the limitations of the world's leading military power to other nations.
"Trump's greatest strength is: unpredictability"
The Süddeutsche Zeitung published a commentary stating that the current awkward situation the U.S. faces in the Iran conflict is exactly what other countries desire:
"The key to this great-power contest lies in perseverance, and other nations clearly believe patience puts them at an advantage. Now Trump has done another favor for other countries: the war with Iran has already exhausted America’s military stockpiles."
However, influenced by the Iran conflict, Trump is deviating from this goal. His actions serve as a reminder to the world that even the world’s top military power shows its limitations when confronting a regional hegemon like Iran. Furthermore, opposition to military adventurism is growing among the American public, and rising oil prices have further eroded popular support for this war.
Certainly, Trump's greatest strength is: unpredictability.
