1. The problem with a narcissist is they can only see things from their point of view

He believes Iranian leaders are terrible people so twice he has had them killed. He doesn't have the reflective capacity to wonder what that does in their minds. That they might imagine doing the same to him. Then he attacks them repeatedly wreaking damage we can't even conceive of. Any negotiated peace would not be reliable. They understand the psychosis they are dealing with. It's actually perfectly logical that they see the only solution as assassination.

i'm not supporting the idea. But what would we do in their shoes? This is a question a narcissist never asks. Then, what would one do who already has a history of militant international terrorism?
