I don't know. It's a quagmire where America finds itself with no good options.

Bibi and Israel set in motion a trap that the USA can't easily escape. Netanyahu never believed America would back down, and America never believed it could lose.

So what now?

Do you surrender? Do you invade?

Trump and Hegseth, being the fools they are, were never equipped to deal with a situation like this. The only outcome they seriously considered was Iranian surrender. They seemed convinced that Iran would fold, and gave little thought to what happens if it doesn't.

More accurately, they've been pushing this trap for decades and US presidents have been sidestepping it for decades.

From that PoV it's always been easily avoided.

> Do you surrender? Do you invade?

Clearly the answer is you pay them off.
