"Short-Term Excursion": Trump Has Run Out of Options in Iran

Summary

Of all people, it is the man who railed so often against America's wars in the Middle East who saw fit to start what may be the most dangerous Middle East war of all. The man who accused his predecessors of waging endless wars in the region – wars he has called, in his own words, "ridiculous," "disastrous" and "destabilizing." Now Donald Trump, as U.S. president, is waging such a war himself, and Operation Epic Fury has the potential to become even more ridiculous, more disastrous and more destabilizing than any previous U.S. war in the Middle East.
