This is the big irony; the best-case scenario for Trump is that the Islamic Republic survives, which lets everybody declare victory in three weeks and go home so the media can anoint him with a Triumph and make fancams of explosions.

State collapse or civil war makes this impossible to end.

we disagree there. But the sides of the argument are clear enough.

For those who may not remember, funding an adversary in a proxy war in Afghanistan was a big part of how the US bankrupted the Soviet Union.

To say this after bombing a school and killing nearly 200 children is baffling. Admiral Cooper has no credibility and should resign.

they ARE in fact using VZ as a model. Leave the criming but take the publicity.

I appreciate that their is a legal and operational difference here, but if the US can obtain what it wants from the Swiss it will operationalize that cut-out action that makes the distinction moot in the real world of humans.

Dan is not wrong, but not right in a way that matters (other than legal)

I can see how Israel can achieve its strategic aims here. I’m really struggling to see how this ends well for the US.

at first blush, this seems right. However, I think we would all be remiss if we didn't ALSO say that they were told this stuff was illegal in the first place and did nothing to update the software for that possibility because they did not care.

I read it to say "we think we can do this in 45 days". "think" of course will be the operative word.

Trump couldn't stomach the collapse of the economy due to tariffs, but due to whimsical death -- apparently not a problem.
