    At this point either Trump commits to a land invasion and we have 20 years and trillions of dollars and tens if not hundreds of thousands of American lives wasted, not even counting how many millions of Iranian lives would be wasted as well. Or Trump backs down and asks China to act as a mediator because there’s no way Iran would trust Trump to negotiate.

      Iran should request to have a hand in selecting the next US leader. In fairness, they couldn’t do much worse than the US electorate…
