Please explain how this ends
Reductio ad absurdum (argument to absurdity) is a logical technique that disproves a statement by showing it leads to an impossible, illogical, or absurd conclusion.
We agree the war is ongoing. Can we agree that sending Mossad Jared and Witkoff to Pakistan as "American" negotiators proves we're totally unserious about any negotiation, there is no off ramp and that the war will only end when one side is clearly victorious?
From Iran's POV they want USA out of the Middle East. They've already made a good case for it by rendering many of our bases inoperative. They are backed by Russia and China who are providing ISR, but, so far no weapons. Their capacity to continue the fight is robust.
From the USA/Israel "Alliance" POV we have to default to what Bibi and Greater Israel wants. If you had any doubts before, it is now embarrassingly obvious that Bibi is the lead partner in the USA/Israeli relationship. Trump crafted an off-ramp through Pakistan, Bibi vetoed it. From our senior partners POV, they want Iran, the entire Middle East destabilized so that they will rule the world. They want to destroy Iran as a nation and take down the GCC in the process and thought that Trump would do it for them.
How does this end, who "wins"?
