A friend asked me at dinner tonight how long I thought the war would last

I was stumped. If Trump is wise he'll end it in a couple of days but it looks like he will stir up the Kurds, Baluchis and perhaps even the Azeris to rebel. The Kurds I expect will fight and die and be betrayed by the Yanks in Iran as in Iraq and Syria.

All because Trump wanted to score a win and was conned by Netanyahu. The War of Trump's Ear.

"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months." Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, when asked how long the Iraq War would last (Feb 7, 2003)
