What’s the over-under on when this non-war ends? Mines, market down, cyber attacks, etc
Americans didn’t ask for this, and once this becomes truly uncomfortable if it hasn’t already, I can’t see support for this continuing. Trump likes quick hits, and this seems to be anything but.
I’d guess Easter, but that may be overly optimistic.

I think the over/under is more like 3/31
I'll take the under.
The war ends when those who believe that they are fighting in the name of Allah are powerless.
Hopefully, we are providing the people of Iran proof that Allah does not give a shit.
There may be temporary cease fires, since the attention spans of democracies are poor...
...but the war will continue.
If the Left is successful, and is able to initiate a unilateral temporary cease fire, the Islamists will just use the time to re-arm before the next round of the war. This will make the war longer, of course. I figure 100 years, give or take 50, with the intermittent breaks that will occur when the US electorate gets weary of war.
What a luxury...to be able to delude ourselves that we can just decide that we are weary of fighting people, and that therefore the war is over. Our enemies never tire of wanting to kill our children, so deciding to pause the war is really just a decisions to allow the Islamists to re-arm.
If we committed to this 100%, we might be able to end this war in a fraction of the time. But, we won't. Half the nation already wants to pause to allow Iran to re-arm.
Americans are in denial but Iran has been fighting this war for over 40 years.
And Americans keep tiptoeing around that fact. What would you have done if you were all in charge? Send more cash? Pretend that everything is fine? Appease even more? Continue to "negotiate"? What would you all do?
