1. He will leave the

mess, as all republicans do, for the next Democratic administration to clean up.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. And, given the history, he should have known better to have attacked such a populous country for no reason

What a mess he's leaving this country with - on all fronts. But this may be the worst.

3. Iran will keep fighting

They have clearly stated they are fighting until they get concessions and reperations.

4. It isn't complicated. He can get out the same way he got in. Just leave.

Nobody wants us there, other than Putin and Netanyahu.

Europe doesn't want us there because we are only making matters worse for them.

Our "friends" in the region (bonesaw et al) don't want us there, because this is just making Iran attack the countries that host US bases.

The American people don't want a war in Iran.

The American military doesn't want to be there because it is a loser in every respect. Nobody can even define what "winning" would be. There is no upside to this thing.

The Iranian people don't want us there. Even though they have lived under a repressive, fanatical religious regime, we are just making it worse for the average Iranian people.

So, the way out is to get on your horse and ride out of town. Simple as that. I don't know why the media would spend even a minute acting like it is any more complicated than that.

5. It's not that simple for the ego-driven felon. He's afraid of being seen as a "loser"

Not that half the world and most of the American people don't already think that...

6. Right. But the media doesn't have to play that game. Just leave.

7. The other Gulf states in the region beg to differ. n/t

8. Please explain.

Are you saying they welcome having Hormuz shut down?

Are you saying they welcome the drones and missiles being fired into their countries at US bases?

Are you saying they welcome the Iranian people gaining more incentive than ever to brink their nuclear weapons to full capability?

Please name which countries you think welcome these things.
