Maybe or maybe not, but the move is idiotic. Killing an Iranian general is an irresponsable gamble, whether he deserved it or not.
An actual war with Iran might be the thing that garantees his re-election. Muricans get stupidly patriotic when they are at war. Even bad, moronic wars with no end in sight.

"Did Trump just start a war win Iran?"
No, don't be stupid. Iran certainly isn't dumb enough to go to war over this.

I imagine Iran will probably blow something up in retaliation.
Would a hot war actually benefit Trump at this point? I think he would be pressed to spin it to his advantage. Nothing else seems to move his 42% approval rating, and I'm not sure this would either.

Anti-war sentiments are rather strong at the moment. If we had another 9-11? Eh, sure, Trump could pretty easily swing not only his followers but enough of the centrist voters behind him.

Iran may not go to war over this, but people in the region are certainly going to be further inflamed in their hatred for the US. Terrorist recruiting can be expected to increase. Where's that likely to lead?

Where's that likely to lead? Anymore likely than they've been since forever and a day ago? No where it hasn't been leading since the end of WWII.

Everyone predicted he'd do something stupid like this in order to skate out of being impeached.

The oil industry would have been nationalized, and Iran would look to the Soviet Union for protection - there would have been no other options available to it. Khrushchev would have turned Iran into a client state. By 1960 it would have been incorporated into the Soviet Union as Iranistan SSR, and all of the delicious oil would be available to the Soviet regime.
Who knows?

Nice deflect. This isn't about Obama, but about how Trump is destabilizing things in the Mideast to benefit him personally.
