You can’t fight the regime in Iran and win. You can only create regime change to rid the world of it. The government of Iran doesn’t care about anything other than its religious jihadist ideology. Nothing else matters to it. Not Iran. Not Iranians. Not Muslims. Nothing.
I am, again, Persuaded. Perhaps enough has been written about how we got here, or rather the psychology of someone that would put the US in this position in the first place. Words like naivete and egotistical and even deluded come to mind. But I think there is another one that is more accurate, and that is Gambler. I am beginning to think this is actually what is behind the mask. Perhaps the other words as well, but definitely Gambler. Just like Putin walking into Ukraine was a big bet on the West not being willing to get involved (how's that working out for ya Vladi?). Trump trying to show he can do it too! Try it out and if it doesn't work, then obfuscate and back out. The Gambler.
What Trump accomplished with this war:
1) He's let Iran make him look submissive.
2) He betrayed the supporters who he promised no more wars and lower prices.
3) He's practically guaranteed the Republicans a disaster in November.
4) He's given people reason to compare him unfavorably to the person he hates more than anyone in the world.
Am I missing anything?
