Of course he (Trump) fell for it and both under-estimated how prepared Iran was. They were prepared for more than 30 years and they knew they were next after Venezuela.

Iran's foreign minister Araghchi was smirking at the fact that "they were waiting for them".

In the last 72 hours, you have just seen a preview about why he was smirking. Even when the pilot survived as his fighter jet was destroyed, landing deep in Iran would have almost 0 chance of survival since any plane deploying US troops would be immediately shot down.

So with both the US and Israel's own arrogance, they fell right into Iran's trap.

Europeans who condoned it definitely were. They didn't understand their own reliance on oil.
