## Resource

Hawk references a June 16th Atlantic article by Tom Nichols, a 25-year professor at the US War College, titled "Trump Does Not Understand the War He Lost." The piece examines statements Trump made at the G7 summit in France, where he reversed his own stated positions, claimed he never cared about regime change despite having said the opposite repeatedly, and described Iran's new leadership as rational, non-radicalized people he enjoyed dealing with. That new leadership includes individuals who lost family members in US airstrikes.
