Absolutely masterful strategy from Washington. Step 1: Declare the existing situation with Iran “unacceptable.” Step 2: Launch attacks to dramatically worsen the situation. Step 3: Spend the next few weeks desperately trying to negotiate a deal to return to something very close to the original situation.

Sometimes it’s brilliant, sometimes it’s nonsense, and sometimes it’s confidently wrong in a way that makes you wonder if it’s trolling you.

The Iran war has already cost tens of billions of dollars, with estimates ranging from about $50 billion spent so far. Next time, just ask politely [Happy]  [Grin]  [Sly]
