1. The Strait is open. The war results in the Strait closing. The goal of the war? Open the Strait. We have lost here.
2. Iran always said they wanted no nuclear weapon. We start a war. Now they say they won’t agree to a peace treaty that precludes a nuclear weapon. We lose here.
3. Where do we win? We knocked out most of their military! But wait. We weren’t at risk from their military. So we can’t count this as a win.
4. And world approval? Lose. Moral ground? Lose. Wasting our resources? Lose. Inflation and affordability? Lose and lose.

You can’t deny any of this. But Trump says we won big.

25th amendment time.
