Because the term isn't up yet and taking him down for being unable to perform his duties would be greatly damaging to US optics-based politics.

You're right. But how is it not damaging to US optics-based politics to have a dementia addled old man start a war with Iran?

I don't know, i never seen starting a war being damaging to US politics, it usually gets their numbers up.

Good point. But why does no one care about his pudding brain? I just can't understand. The whole country was like, yeah he's unfit. They after he dropped out no one cares.

Peak idealism in politics. For some reason they are completely unable to think in a cathegory of system, it's all just comic book to them where colorfully dressed people run around and the rest of the grey world is a background that just happen, no agency, no reason, it just is. So despite having a really clear indication, that is completely identical politics of Biden and Harris they think problem is gone because person is gone. This didn't happen in year or 4, that was trained by long decades.

That's when the war is harmless to US interests. This war has the potential to increase Iranian influence (and decrease US influence) in the region. That is, to put it lightly, not good for oil shareholders.

Nearly all of those wars were also lost. This also didn't harm them in the least, even genocidal scum like Cheney are just hidden for few years and them publicly rehabilitated by the opposing party. USA is more and more resembling one big Holden Bloodfest.
