US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

A great article in the NYT by seasoned journalist David Sanger, about how Trump is trapped by a war he thought would be easy and quick, and how frustrated and erratic he has been acting. All the options outlined for Trump are bad.

 
Went from "We will expel the Great Satan from the region " to this very quickly I see.....

What about the opinions of those "seasoned journalists" who have been claiming for years that Donald Trump wants to completely destroy the Iran through a prolonged military campaign?

Post mid-term elections in the US (3 November 2026 - just 101 days left), the US President will have 2 years to do whatever he wants with Iran without worrying about political or economic repercussions.

They are great at boasting, remember just before this round they were claiming there would be new weapons and they would attack targets outside the region? Their massive reach?

Nope, just Kuwaiti water plants.....
Well new versions of upgraded missiles were used from what all the reports that came out said…….a lot more than Kuwaiti desalination and power plants to be fair have you seen many American bases from Jordan Kuwait Bahrain Saudi Arabia and etc being blown up why are we pretending like these things didn’t occur and it only occurred because these countries allowed these bases to be used to attack Iran and that these countries own civilian infrastructure was badly degraded because trump attacked Irans civilian infrastructure first while using arab lands to attack Iran.

Sorry this whole fiasco showed that if an Arab country doesn’t join in fighting against Iran they stay safe and sound from Iran retaliating attack but emphasis on retaliatory
