 Iran attacks: Netanyahu's dangerous gamble | The Communist

Unlike his partner in crime, Donald Trump, Bibi Netanyahu does NOT have progressive amnesia. 

He doesn't quite check as many boxes above as Donald Trump but is worse at others. Unlike Donald Trump, he is an extraordinarily brilliant schemer that is excellent at calculating the consequences of his diabolical actions, both short and long term. He is anything but delusional and instead is pure evil.

Dark triad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad

All three dark triad traits are conceptually distinct although empirical evidence shows them to be overlapping. They are associated with a callous–manipulative interpersonal style.[9]

High scores in these traits have been found to statistically increase a person's likelihood to commit crimes, cause social distress, and create severe problems for organizations, especially if they are in leadership positions.[15] They also tend to be less compassionate, agreeable, empathetic, and satisfied with their lives, and less likely to believe they and others are good.[16] However, the same traits are also associated with some positive outcomes, such as mental toughness and being more likely to embrace challenges.[17]

A factor analysis found that among the big five personality traits, low agreeableness is the strongest correlate of the dark triad, while neuroticism and a lack of conscientiousness were associated with some of the dark triad members.[12] Research indicates that there is a consistent association between changes in agreeableness and the dark triad traits over the course of an individual's life
