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 give it a week, then on to Cuba.

Trump made a huge mistake getting involved in a Holy War between two extremist regimes...
Netanyahu's Zionists and Iran's Ayatollahs...a conflict that will persist for much longer than outsiders will tolerate. His best bet is to focus on a JCPOA 2.0 and declare enough damage has been done to contain Iran's threat in the region for many years to come...
End the conflict and give both Israelis and Iranians time to figure out for themselves what sort of regime they really want.
I don't recall any Israelis chanting "death to Islam." In fact, Muslims vote in Israeli elections.
And remind me of how Judaism was spread over continents by bloody conquests.
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.
Cool. And how about when the Russians help them rebuild their capabilities?
Do it all again in 9 months?
Genius!
The Russians are gonna have problems building their own capabilities.
And the Persians will turn to the West when the mullahs are tossed out.
Theocracies are dysfunctional in the modern world.
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?
