Daniel Davis Deep Dive

President Trump’s TruthSocial post tonight makes it appear that he only agreed to a ceasefire w Iran to reload our ammo in the planes and ships. That only reinforces the reputation he has already earned of deceiving negotiating partners into believing he’s engaging in good faith diplomacy, while in reality preparing for the next attack. Iran no doubt expected more deception from us, and has prepared accordingly. But the President will not materially gain from this extra time or ammo reload, bc our problem isn’t adequate quantities of offense and defense missiles. The problem is we embarked on a war without justification, without legal authorization, and that is militarily unattainable. All the ammunition in the world won’t win this for us, bc you can’t bomb a country four times bigger than Iraq into submission solely by air power, and even if u could muster a field army of half a million men - which we can’t - that *still* wouldn’t achieve a victory. Trying would only increase the cost of our loss. The best thing President Trump could do, now that he started a war of choice he shouldn’t have chosen, is to end it quickly. At this point i would cheer on a “Taco” outcome, bc as bad as it would genuinely be, that is less bad than foolishly ignoring reality and still trying to double down and send in more combat power. That will only increase the cost of our eventual defeat (which is now baked in).
