Axios reported that the plan remains in its early stages but that it could set out US policy towards the Middle East for the remainder of Trump's term.

If you read the article, there is nothing "post war" about it. It's just the same as pre-war: support Israel, constrain Iran.

But also:

the plan remains in its early stages

So they just have concepts of a plan.

The whole thing is a nothing burger.

Post-war? I thought we just gonna do this shit full-time.

I could have sworn he said it was over... a few times now

I wasn't aware there has ever been a time there wasn't any war in the middle east. It's the birthplace of civilization, and humans have been fighting as long as they've existed.

You're kidding me.

Someone thinks this cluster fuck is going to end any time soon?

Also, we didn't have a strategy going in, kind of late to think about this shit now.

“Once Trump is finally fucking dead…”

They should put all their focus on getting out of the current quagmire someone in the next 20 years. Don't walk before you can crawl.

YEs, ITS called the continuation of distraction from epstein and friends files.

They would have to truthfully acknowledge it as a war. Something they still deny. Instead choosing the euphemism limited Military action. So I don't see this happening. Which it's just silly to consider the first place. They didn't have an actual plan going in. How are they going to have a plan getting out.

He’ll do the exact same thing he did with Afghanistan - keep it going until the eleventh hour and then announce that the military will be pulling out during the next president’s term so they have to deal with the quagmire.

The only problem with that is he's not planning on ever having someone after him until he's dead

They should enlist all the broccoli hair groypers that voted for this orange shit stain. Before them, enlist the children of politicians that are fine with this war.

Never too late, fellas.
