President Trump departs for the dignified transfer honoring the 4 Americans killed in the Middle East:
"They are indeed great heroes... We're going to honor them... For me, it's one of the hardest things to do as president." 🇺🇸
This is a bombing campaign in search of a strategy.
We are choosing escalation when de-escalation remains an option, entrenching ourselves deeper into a broader war that we don’t have the capability or desire to sustain.
There is not a military solution here that will lead to a win.
More bombing will not convince Iran to open the SOH or to give us the deal we want, it will only harden their position.
Bombing civilian infrastructure will not make the people rise up against the regime, it will rally them around it.
When this effort inevitably fails to give us the win, the next militarily-logical (and incredibly ill-advised) step is for the U.S. to apply more pressure by seizing Iranian ground. Make no mistake: boots on the ground would be a disaster scenario—look at Iran on a map, consider the terrain and what accessing it, and then holding it, would actually entail.
Escalation will only lead to more American casualties until public opposition forces a negotiated deal with Iran or forces us to simply leave & accept Iran as it is. Just like we did with Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and Vietnam.
If we pull our troops out now, we deprive Iran of their justification for aggression in the SOH and of targets to shoot at. We can then use sanctions relief/unfreezing of assets as an incentive for Iran to open the SOH.
We need to focus on our main objective—getting the SOH open.
Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we were to have Trump, his strength and his resolve.
