asking trump for an "exit strategy" in iran again demonstrates a fundamental level of ignorance as to the nature of the conflict. it's an idea lifted directly from iraq that the democrats are recycling and should not be. it reflects a poor understanding of the situation and makes them look stupid.

there were thousands of us troops in iraq. there are zero us troops in iran.

before you can have an exit strategy, you need to have an entrance strategy, and that is what trump is struggling with - they're trying to get in to iran and don't like the options available to them. the truth is that they have several options, but they won't implement any of them.

this "ceasefire" is consequently not a way out of iran but an attempt to get in to iran. the media is not understanding this. at all.

democrats should be asking trump to clarify what his entrance strategy is. right now, they appear to not really have one, other than to try to get iran to sign things they're never going to sign and essentially let them come in as business partners.

trump does not currently need an exit strategy because he hasn't entered iran. he can really just say "fuck it" and sail off. there's nothing to disengage from.

don't be surprised if trump does actually agree to pay for reconstruction in iran, then hire himself to do it.

they can call it the Iran Board of Peace.

maybe he can even get a hotel built there.
