I have to admit that if Trump's new strategy of asking the country he's been bombing to be nice to him, it'll be a revolution in the art of warfare.

What is he going to do next? Bring out the ray guns? Or drop a nuke to stop any nukes being dropped? Perhaps he's really that far gone..

Read to the end. Danny Finkelstein in The Times, the intro to a longer piece.

A simple answer from Iran should be... "We have removed the non-existent mines. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

That will be Trump’s claim and give him his get out to start backing down.

Maybe, but irrelevant. The war will continue without him.

Fake news. He hasn't thanked us for our attention on this matter.

From Senator Chris Murphy:
"I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
Here's what I can share: Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal. But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories. But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production? They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable."
