Trump says he does not want war after attack on Saudi oil facilities

I agree, he has surrounded himself with mostly buffoons when you compare the personnel makeup with past administrations. imo Iran got a lot more dangerous when it was increasingly backed into a corner like a wounded animal. But I do believe the original decision to trash the agreement in place was because a real president had put it there. He has suffered with comparisons to Obama since he has been in office and I believe, with the fragile ego, that it has bothered him greatly. He wants to leave his own mark on history during his presidency though it increasingly looks like it will be a black one. 

I think that withdrawing from the agreement is all down to him. But applying economic sanctions on businesses and such clearly bears the fingerprints of pompeo and bolton. As does the augmented military presence in the gulf region.
