Comment: The key point is that the head of state of both countries is a sociopathic narcissist.

Your comments about "checks and balances" and "responsibility to the people" are irrelevant.  But I'll point out that the American public does not act as a brake on going to war.  Americans will sign up for dropping bombs on any country, particularly when they're safely out of range.  And there is no effective check or balance on Trump given that corrupt Republicans control both Congress and the Supreme Court.
