Right now he does not have the nukes, and he does not have a conventional
delivery system. He is a long way from getting them... and he is getting weaker

A world leader takes advantage of nationalism, jingoism and xenophobia to take
his nation on an ill-advised military adventure in order to strengthen his
country, but in the end actually weakens it.
