I think its Kushner who drives most of it. He's the dude working for the White House who couldnt even get a security clearance.. I think its crazy that my security clearance is higher than people negotiating on behalf of the USA..
They hold the most powerful card imaginable. The American publics weariness of perpetual forever wars. Not to mention strangulation of regional and world economies.If Iran had any more cards to play they certainly would. It is just tying up some loose ends and house cleaning now. It's all over except the crying, mostly by the lefties and the doomers.
We are most definitely winning. No two ways about it. If a couple months is a forever war to the average American then our attention span has gotten to that of house fly. To the libs and the Doomers it is, but they were saying that after the first day. Most Americans are smarter than that, I used to think a lot more, but it is still the majority.They hold the most powerful card imaginable. The American publics weariness of perpetual forever wars.

There is no winner we are all losing.
We have been in conflict ad nauseum for the past 30+ years, this is just the newest chapter. Trump has little support, even less now.We are most definitely winning. No two ways about it.

You realize that the U.S. has been at constant war its entirety, right? Our history is one great big war. The last time there was an extended period without a conflict was in the 19th century.

A couple of months down the road ours, as well as the rest of the world's position is worse than when it started. Economies are being strangled, ours included. The lifeblood of our economy isn't pumping. Something has to change soon. We know it, Iran knows it, the world knows it.
If that's winning ................

In fairness, though, exponentially less costly in American soldier casualties. Personally, I would rather spend money on modern weaponry than lose troops (when war is needed).Also the act of carrying out war has gotten ever so much more expensive for us to prosecute while our adversaries spend much less and often fight us into a bog of attrition.

Agree 100%. But we had no problem sending troops to die in needless wars, either.The problem is the military industrial complex (which Eisenhower totally warned us about and here we are 70 years later) is powerful encourager of war and dying troops are a discourager, ipso facto, we end up with more war (when it is not needed)
It's getting harder and harder to shake the allegations that he's a pawn for Netanyahu. 85% of Americans agree on almost nothing, and they definitely don't agree on the war with Iran. The guy is living in his own reality, or just pretending to so that Mossad doesn't release video of him with underage girls.
