I prefer to overestimate a buffoon one time too much than to be overran by a buffoon through underestimation.

i think this strategy of bravado is precisely for intimidation and obfuscation of what they are capable of. its still very much scary and dangerous, mind you, but its not as hopeless as some say.

they have already shown a few times they aren't as strong as everyone thought. i believe other countries have a good estimation of what the us is capable of at this point.
