Assuming (and this is a big assumption!) that he has no hidden agenda here and that what he says is what he really believes, when the current president wants to go to war against a small nation governed by some blustering tin-pot dictator (but certainly no Hitler) because he considers it a potential threat even when it has no substantial military power—and against the counsels of many of his advisors (including the military) and against the objections of other nations including those we regard as our allies, it seems perfectly reasonable to me to raise questions about the competence of that president.
