'Trump Is Losing Control of the Widening Conflict:
His lack of planning has left the administration with dwindling influence over the direction of the Iran war.'
These two statements are both beyond understatement. Trump is not just 'losing control' of this madness, he has not had any control since the first hours of this shockingly stupid, brazenly illegal and immoral attack.
I wish directors of 'advisory firms' could stop saying things like ' The war has been costly, resulted in the deaths of 18 U.S. service members and wounding of hundreds, and caused vast economic damage.' - without acknowledging the massive death an destruction the US/Israeli war has brought to the region.
In Iran, there have been anywhere from 3500-6000 people killed and tens of thousands injured. IN Lebanon, at least 4000 people have been killed since March, tens of thousands more injured, and a million people have been made homeless by Israel's flagrantly illegal occupation. Many more have been killed across the region.
It looks like his only option domestically is deflection. With every horror-show "renovation" and installation of lackeys into offices of great responsibility, he hijacks our attention to the war. But the high cost of his ridiculous building projects--which he could just as easily do in the private sector without our money--only adds to tax resistance. And siccing the justice department on innocent Americans is getting awfully close to home, and the natives are getting restless.
As long as the orange convicted felon is making money off this war and the no-balls majorities in congress let him get away with it, he has no interest in ending this war.
What's the loss of thousands of lives compared to his unending grift?

"And now we'll go after the Cuban people!"

No real leader uses threats and insults to try and win a war.
As I see it, Tump made two massive errors from the get-go:
1) He thought Iran was another Venezuela. It is not.
2) He failed to take into account The Law of Unintended Consequences (a close relative of Murphy's Law). One wonders if he's ever heard of either one.

And he is literally blowing up tax funds with every ineffective strike and continued military presence.
