Is the U.S. winning the Iran war? “As Donald Trump says, ‘we’ve won, it’s over, it’s over, it’s over,’ we think about how far we are from a kind of decisive victory that would really end this in a way that everybody can be confident it’s over," said David Ignatius.

"What's been so striking is how many of those very same Republicans who were calling for the release of the files, had promised to get to the bottom of them, are now saying things that are just the opposite," said Stephen Hayes.
"What [President Trump is] interested in at any given moment is 'am I winning?' and 'is this a victory?'" said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social.
Why did President Trump decide to go to war against Iran? "Why now is still an open question," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "I think a lot of reasons are he felt emboldened by Venezuela, and he's becoming increasingly comfortable with power as he goes further into his second term."
"You've had the purging of the press. ... I think it's a notable thing. I'm a former Pentagon correspondent," said @jonathankarl.bsky.social. "It's like [Pete Hegseth] doesn't want to face — not any dissent, because it's not a matter of dissent, but even questions that veer from the orthodoxy."
"As a Pentagon reporter, we have learned over two now administrations: watch what [Trump is] doing, not what he's saying," said Idrees Ali. "The tea leaves and the movements indicate that this is going to get a lot tougher and a lot stronger really for Iran."
"[Trump] came in as an America First president, that he wasn’t going to get involved in international affairs. I think the shock is not that he has so many different ideas, but that it's so at odds with what he promised the administration would be,” said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
"Gas prices are up 50%. Consumer confidence from the University of Michigan's survey is at its lowest point ever," said Idrees Kahloon. "This is really not the set of economic priorities that you want to be sending before you go to the midterms."
"Trump reveres royalty, and he loved the state visit that he had in the United Kingdom," said @tylerpager.bsky.social. "The Brits see this as an opportunity to reestablish a good relationship with Trump because they know how much he reveres the king and the queen."
"The question that becomes is, if you don’t have a new regime, if you don’t have a change in the country … does this mean that we have to do it again in five years or 10 years or one year — who knows," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social. "[Iran has] made clear that they're not giving up."
Why is JD Vance going to Pakistan to negotiate a peace deal with Iran? "This will be the most senior in-person discussion between America and Iran since the 1979 revolution," said Karim Sadjadpour. "The Iranians actually requested to negotiate with JD Vance for a few reasons."

I call bullshit. Caleb says he's not against anyone and claims he's just there to "preach the gospel." He wants to make sure public school kids aren't exposed to people or beliefs that differ from that of his fundamentalist religious group that he pastors in Belfair, a 35 mile drive from Tacoma.

Donald Trump went to a military high school and thinks he knows more than about war than our admirals and generals. The cost of his arrogance? 13 dead Americans, 150 dead Iranian children, Gas prices spiking at home, and a war with no off-ramp.
