This could be the usual macho war talk, but I believe it because the regime in power does not care about human lives. They can survive in the face of huge numbers of civilian and military casualties because of their tight control over their people. That is not the case in other countries, especially the US.[/quote]Seriously not sure if you're referring to us or them. Do you think our regime cares about human lives? You know the honest answer.

I don't see how we get out of this quagmire. Iran can't back down because they know Trump never honors [u]any[/u] agreements anyways. Trump can't back down because he can't afford to look weak. The Gulf States can't support our side because we're allied with Israel. Israel could just stop, but they won't.

If this continues, eventually Russia will openly ally with Iran and the Gulf States will kick us out and start a standoff with Israel. Then the nukes will fall.

Maybe Israel will finally back down soon, then we can declare victory and withdraw ourselves.  Everything goes back to the way it was.[/quote]
Why can’t Trump back down?  He can declare mission accomplished and withdraw troops and carriers.  Fox News will laud him as a hero.  His MAGA base won’t know the difference & will just be happy they can fill up their pickups for less than $100.[/quote]That depends on the Iranian response. They said they want to be compensated for the losses they took. Either cash payback, seizing US property on their own, or destroying US property. I'm all for testing it out, let's declare mission accomplished and see what they do.

My guess is that they'd continue to bomb our bases over there and try to build an alliance to attack Israel.[/quote]
