It begins to look as if the only way to make Iran back off is to continue the conflict. Part of me believes Iran is losing, and also that Russia is losing in Ukraine. What remains to be done is for the West to increase military force in both cases. Scary, but effective? Is there a better way without surrendering to Iran and Russia?
One problem is that President Donald Trump does not have good people advising him. Isn’t there a talk show host that knows something about war/peace and international negotiations?
One thought: What if Mr. Trump runs out of people who are totally incompetent? He might have to draft a few advisers or nominees who can actually help.
