There was talk of arming Kurdish and other fighters in the northwest. This may be ongoing and fact that Rubio sorta sidestepped the question leads me to believe there may be an insurgency from them in short order.

no its not, or they'd be in the fight now. Honeslty its bullshite from Trump always wanting to make a f deal. All they are doing is arming themselves and digging in deeper. It's frustrating.

There is no reasonable explanation other than there is no real plan

“Operation Trust me Bro”

Has thus far cost $50 billion, brought our munition to levels it will take 8-10 years to replenish for some systems and 13 lives lost.

We still have zero concessions on anything nuclear

The IRGC is convinced that the USA is flaccid and weak and has absolutely no stomach for a fight inside Iran to topple the IRGC.

I believe that this War is over. There will be no more strikes against Iran, no matter what Iran does or doesn' t do. Iran won't make a deal. They will stall. They strongly believe that this War is over and they have survived AND will survive, because they believe that the USA is weak.

I believe the reason is that if it is a prolonged fight, Trump needs congressional approval.

If they are a series of separate skirmishes, he can side-step.

The shah spent twenty years dismantling the autonomous Kurdish state. If they’re armed they’ll just return the favor and claim the country for themselves.

Kurds aren't going to help us in Iran. We've abandoned them multiple times in the last 10 years.

Turkey, Syria, and Iraq don’t want their Kurd populations getting any ideas about sovereignty either. They surely won’t support arming the Iranian Kurds

The Islamic Regime is convinced if they can survive until the US midterms they will remain in power because they believe the American people are going to hand power back over to the Democratic Socialists.....aka their partners in the Red/Green Alliance.

Hmmm

Every time I hear Trump say he will extend the cease fire is another day I contemplate voting for Sen. Cassidy.

Or - maybe, just maybe Trump is working on getting a lasting peace deal in place that ensures Iran doesn’t try to bring their nuke program back to life.

Do the dims really want to be seen as the reason we had to tuck tail in this? At this point couldn’t it be viewed as bailing Trump out?

The greatest military in the history of the world was no match for the most incompetent President and Secretary of Defense this country has ever seen. They have made it a shambles.
