The might of the U.S. military remains unquestionable, but America’s standing in the world has been demolished and the president’s vacuous, unpredictable nature reaffirmed. President Donald Trump departs after speaking with reporters during a news conference in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House, Monday.
a two-week ceasefire deal announced Tuesday. Or it may not. But the president, having boxed himself in by threatening to commit what wouldAdvertisement The might of the U.S. military remains unquestionable, as does the bravery and dedication of the men and women in uniform. But the war — spearheaded by fools and promising disaster from its inception — has delivered a different defeat: America’s standing in the world has been demolished and the president’s vacuous, unpredictable nature reaffirmed.to go to war. A February presentation by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that Iran’s ballistic missile program would be easy to destroy, that the regime could not close the Strait of Hormuz or attack neighboring countries, and that the government would be overthrown. These assertions are not only risible in hindsight, but regime change was considered ludicrous by U.S. intelligence officials, with CIA Director John Ratcliffe reportedly calling it “farcical.” Still, killing Iranian leadership and crippling the country militarily was achievable, according to advisers, and it captured Trump’s imagination. For a world in search of hopeful holiday messages, Trump’s profane social media rant stands out for all the wrong reasons | EditorialIran and America needed to get ahead of the expected retaliation against U.S. assets in the region, Trump was no innocent tricked by Netanyahu; he was an addled gambler thinking his luck would hold. The president had already disregarded Congress and international law with strikes on boats in the Caribbean and the Eastern Pacific —of more than 160 people since September — and he had faced little consequence after bombing Iranian nuclear sites in June orWhile successful in swiftly decapitating Iranian leadership and destroying the country’s navy and air forces, after five weeks of bombing, Iran continued to strike America’s Middle East allies and control the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world’s oil flows. This sent fuel costs soaring, with gas in the U.S. reaching more than $4 a gallon on average.approving of Trump’s actions. The president also never sought the American people’s support for the war, nor the constitutionally mandated permission from Congress.It is undisputed that Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, contributes to instability in the region through proxies, and is working on developing a nuclear weapon. It is run by a cruel regime that does not tolerate dissent. Antigovernment protests earlier this year, spurred by a dire economic situation, were met with overwhelming violence that But rather than make a clear case for why the U.S. needed to strike an Iran weakened by the June bombings and internal discontent, toin helping rein in a rogue nation, the Trump administration was still trying to explain itself weeks into the war.full of questionable assertions — including that Iran was imminently close to having “so many missiles and have so many drones that no one could attack them” — and completely ignoring the fact that it was Trump who abandoned theTuesday’s ceasefire was declared a victory by both sides. But what did the U.S. gain after spending $45 billion and counting? What do the deaths of more than 1,500 civilians, including 244 children, and 13 U.S. service members resolve? Iran’s nuclear ambitions linger, its hold over the Strait of Hormuz has tightened, the damage to its conventional weapons programs is unclear, its regional proxies remain entrenched, and there’s a new generation of ruthless hard-liners in Tehran. They say there are no winners in war. But perhaps the biggest loser is an America led by Donald Trump.{"ENV":"VXAEQVwxYwZoTV1CdBxaTXxNc150MXhCfGYMCg==","CONTENT_BASE_PROD":"a2N8BFgxTVpUc2cCXQhWA3xweAZ3DGAEf3NSBnYidAd8cGAHdzJ0TXxgYEBjMnAGfGBjXnQcc11rYGRPYDJnWX9wdEB0DGdef3NdW3Qhf1x/cGAGdyJ/XXxNeE12IXBNa2NdW3QLb18=","ARC_ACCESS_TOKEN_PROD":"a2AFB10uUVhUY2cGXAteA3xjfEB3HGRPfHNwBHQcY118TXAHYzJzXHxjUk93HHAGf3NWQGAMdAR8XXBOdAx/WH9jXVt3HHgAfE10QHYic1l/YGRNdiFvWXxdfE10ImwEfGNZWncMd1l8c2daYyJkBXwFa1p0MnNea11aBnYidE98YHtbdiJ8BHxwY150MnRPa110QGMMdAR/Y3RNYwx0BnxjeEBjIWBCaGNzWnQhb1xrWndbYAtwB2tdWkBgHHBMa2NdW2Mib1l8cH9adjFsBw==","GRAPHQL_KEY":"U3NdQFsxQk18f3wEWzJaTGtjYEB0HGxPfF1VXmAMYAd+c3AGdxxeTH9zZAR3DGQEfGBnXXQcZ1x8Y2tedCFzXHxNd1x0DHwEfF13X3QiY1lrY2ROYDJwQnxNcE9jMXhCf01kBg==","GATEWAY_URL":"fwVVX1oheAVTYFlOdj5kA3xgeEB0IndYfGNaT2MyZ1l8c2BPdAx0QmhaZEB2ImRNfFpgBnccd1h8Y2gHYzFgTXxgfAdjC3wEfF1rXmBUY1hrYGdbdiFgBw==","GATEWAY_SLS_URL":"fwVoBVgcWUZ/cEFEYD5wA3xgeEB0MmABfHN4B3cicAd/YGBPdCJzWWtjaEBjImRNfFp8QHQicAV/cHxPdwt8AXxgZAZ0MWNefF1/XmBUY1loXV1adFR/Xw==","FEEDS_URL":"UwVjXVhUQQFUXXtCWwsFA39zf1t3IndcfHNkT3cMdEJ8Y2AHdxxwBnxjVk9gHHAFfF1wT2AMcAF/Y2RAdiFsBGhdVVt2IntZfAVkT3QhYAF8YGRNYzFjWGtdWk13MlYGfF1aTXchb15rXX9aYyFsBnxzVgo=","RESIZER_KEY":"fG9aT1g+UV9VWmRNXRxgA3xzZE10DGQAfHB4BGMMYAB8WmBNdzJRX3xjdAZjMmwAfHNWBXQcYAdrXWhAdiFvXHxaYAd0Mm9faF14BGAMd1xoXVZNYAtgBmtddE1gMWNfaFp0T3Q3CAg=","GOOGLEANALYTICS_ID":"a293R1w+Y19/b2AHYAtwA39jcAZ3DGBNfE1aT2MyYAV8c1oHYDJ3WX9wYE5jIntZ","TWITTER_API_TOKEN":"UllBQ1wIZ0RSXWhOYy58A3xdVk12MnhCfF14T2MLYAB8Y1IGYwxRXHxzeE50C2xMfAV0TmMifARrXWBPdBx/X2hdZAdgHH9dfE1jWmMxbAR8cGhAdyJ7XWtadAZ0HGAEaFp0QGMxbAZrWmBOdAtjXWtdf1tjIWAGfGNdXnccXk9rWmhOdjJzXXxze1tgVGBCa11nW3ccd1x/YGgCdyFvXmtzc1x3HHQAa3BrWnchbAB8Y3NaYAxZXWhgd1x3MWQFa2NdXGAxeARrXXNbdDFvWXxwe19gVHNefGB0QGALe1hrcGdad1RgAWtga1pjMWAEf2B/X3cxZE9rYGtedzFgBGgFZ1t3MnQHaE1dXHdUcAB+Y3NdYwtkB2tzZEB0IXgHa3NVXHRUeEJoTXQCYDJZXmtja110MXgGa3NkCg==","GOOGLE_CLIENT_EMAIL":"f1oAXnccXQdVWmgGYFR4A39jVkB2InRCfGNaT2MMcAF8cGhPdBxjXnxjeEBjDGNefFpgT3YyZABoWnRAdCFvWHxjcEBgDH9efGNZXnQcf1x8WngFdzJWTHwFY1pjIngEfwV/W3YhY1hoXX9aYzFvXH9Nf15jC2wBfGBnW3YhcAVrXVVaYyJsBmtje110Mm9faGN7XGAxYEx8BWAFYyF4T2hNVgo=","GOOGLE_PRIVATE_KEY":"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
