"This is what happens when impulsive, ignorant men — intoxicated with blowing things up — utterly bungle a war. ...
In sum, Trump did not get regime change or an unconditional surrender. His lack of strategy gave Iran advantages (e.g., control of the Strait of Hormuz, asymmetric missile/drone capacity) that neither he nor his yes men anticipated."
~ Jennifer Rubin
"He therefore flails about, desperately trying to end this debacle without total humiliation. Thanks to the considerable leverage Trump’s blunders have given them, the Iranians surely expect to avoid Trump’s most draconian demands. They want the war to end, but not at any price."
"If only the U.S. had competent negotiators and a sane president, a deal might be reached soon. We don’t. Tragically, more lives will be lost, billions more spent before the war’s end."
"Despite all the positive words and all the tough words from President Trump, behind closed doors, he understands that he is in really deep trouble, that he made a huge mistake.
When leaders are desperate, they do foolish things."
~ Tymofiy Mylovanov
"Donald Trump has lost his Iran war. He is the Iranian hostage. ... If there is any consistency to Trump’s policy, it is a series of frantic attempts to justify his original blunder and extricate himself from its dire consequences."
~ Sidney Blumenthal

"So, a ground invasion then, huh? We’re no Dionne Warwick or Mulan, but assorted half-assed boot-ground raiding into a country of 90 million people sounds like a strategy to do not much more than get a lot of (American) servicepeople killed."

"Other presidents have been accused of negotiating with themselves. Trump is negotiating with his imaginary friends. There’s no reason at all to believe that these talks are actually happening."

"Overwhelming violence of action" as the solution to all problems
"His utterances each day about the war and the global crisis he has created make as much as sense as 'light inside the body' during COVID."

"Trump can't read so he gets his briefings on video. Hegseth won't read because it's not manly. Rubio denies being able to read, to fit in. Pam Bondi fears reading because it's usually a subpoena."
