I am pretty sure this idea of launching military action when flailing in the polls is not new. I am also pretty sure some people have suggested that he might do something like this even as far back as the primaries (part of him being unhinged) but of course that kind of viewpoint is not far and wide because it's not something that most talking heads are going to explore.
A little weak strike against one of Russia's allies (especially if it isn't sustained) could also be a great way to act like you aren't a Russian puppet.
All that said, I really don't think Trump is calling the shots here, especially given the things Hillary Clinton said today. You think he really changed his mind in a couple days about this? This meeting with the Chinese president had been planned for quite a while as well.
