Donald Trump has laid out four goals in Iran and said the US campaign had been projected to last four to five weeks but could “go far longer than that”.

1. Epstein files not going away.

2. Trump's war with Iran will be over when...

Netanyahu tells him it is, and not a minute sooner.

[Klarkashton]

3. Israel with US support is still waging war on the Palestinians

Even after a "cease fire". So you figure a week?

4. "Another war ended strongly because of Donald Trump. Now give me the Nobel peace prize"

5. Does Iran know that

I predict 4 to 5 weeks of continous bombing will lead to a prolonged secondary war.

6. What are the four goals? I must have missed them being stated.

7. We know it's going to take years, and it'll be up to a Dem to get us out

only for idiots to re-elect a repuke.

8. Why am I flashing back to Russia thinking Ukraine would be a weeklong cakewalk?

The Middle East has always been a tinder box waiting to blaze into a conflagration. What’s the quotation? “No plan of combat survives contact with the enemy”, or some such.

You may well be right, but there’s so many effing ways that this can go off the rails, it doesn’t seem to me like anything but poking a hornets nest out of spite.

9. And how the invasion of Iraq would be a cake walk

that would only last a few weeks and would pay for itself.

Meanwhile, this isn't Iraq and Iran isn't going to roll over and play dead. The whole region probably will go up in flames. Bibi has been hungry for this for decades.

11. I mean, we already have the friendly fire taking out our F15s

That’s about the speed of diligence I’d expect from a Hegseth led administration arm. The guy is a frat boy fuck toy, not an ounce of wisdom or prudence in that jaw full of outrage.

[PatSeg]

13. It is terrifying

Now we're going to see the repercussions of appointing so many unqualified people to important positions. We can no longer rely on military leadership, the FBI, or the CIA to protect us.

10. When gasoline goes up a $1.50/gal next week, he will lose interest in being a war preznit.

With the strait of Hormuz shut down indefinitely, it’s bound to happen.

Trump will be fucked.

12. You and Trump should define "over".

The clearest danger is that the conflict will spread, as it shows signs of doing now.

Then there's the danger of spasmodic outbreaks of reprisals or opportunist attacks in the wake of the major conflict, which could go on for many years.
