Pete "No-Stupid-Rules" Hegseth is literally a Middle-Ages crusader. His "no rules" edict gives him licence for endless slaughter.
Thing is, these men are not "normal" people that typically fear & avoid such scenarios.
Malignant narcissists (psychopaths) live for power. Only the regular squirts of adrenalin let them know they're still alive.
Ditto Trump & Netanyahu
Not all psychopaths do harm, but this lot is bringing on ww3.

(Pete Hegseth is a modern-day Narcissus: preoccupied with image, extravagantly unqualified for his position yet extraordinarily self-assured, morally bankrupt, intellectually barren and as empty as a shattered amphora.

“ Led by Psychopaths, Israel and the U.S. Are Waging a Psychotic War Against Iran
This is a psychotic war. One that Israel and the United States entered led by two psychopaths. Vainglorious, narcissistic, disconnected. They head the two most fundamentalist and anti-democratic governments in the history of their countries. “

I wish to write my opinion about the war. No filters. It's important to do this because, heaven forbid, a missile will hit our rented apartment in Jaffa or the shelter in the assisted living facility next door where we run to during the incessant sirens. I'm using the free platform provided me by Haaretz, which has been under frontal assault by the government in recent years. It is also my right to make my civic voice heard in a democratic country (still, ostensibly).
Yes, agree, both highly likely have narcissistic psychopathy.
Just a minor clarifying point re the terms used in the article: the author inadvertantly conflates "psychopathy" & "psychosis". These are two completely different psychological phenomena.
But also “Trump Derangement Syndrome” ?
Leading Psychopaths favourite Toy ?

They're mainly afraid of being tortured & destroyed by him
We have all come across those in our lives who display the characteristics now known as Dark Triad Personality. It's a combination of narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. In short, it creates a person devoid of empathy, and they use manipulation as the preferred tactic to achieve their goals. They do not feel remorse for their behavior, nor do they typically learn from their mistakes. The only guardrails are consequences that they can't avoid with their trickery, and even then, it's more of a containment system rather than any type of meaningful growth on their part.
