It’s mostly posturing. The last thing he wants is a Kent State situation to collapse his already waning domestic support, particularly while rattling the saber at multiple other countries and waging a tariff war.

I don't honestly think he's thinking that far ahead. I don't even know if he can. You forget, Trump truly believes his own shit. Every word that comes out of him, he believes it. When he goes around and says he's the most popular president in the history of ever, he believes that.
