This is a particularly opportune moment for Donald Trump to alter the world order in the face of China and Russia and to reshape geopolitics in the Middle East.

[Trump] has started a war he cannot win and doesn't know how to end. But should Europe help him?

[T]he United States ... should avoid extreme measures such as deploying ground troops and instead propose reasonable compromises.

Even as Washington may call and claim victory, notional or real, the global pain of the brash and so-called bold and illegal strikes will be real for years to come.

A negotiated deal remains possible. Both sides will have to make compromises but that route must be explored extensively.

U.S. President Donald Trump has already lost his war against the mullah regime.

[T]he U.S. and Israel are fixated on “decapitation strikes" ... [which] is just as absurd as believing the Iranian people would cooperate with U.S.-Israeli military strikes against their own country.

Even this president, who always presents himself as being so sure of victory, has respect for the American voter.

In the U.S., Trump no longer has a declaration of a victory over Iran within his grasp.

Military power alone cannot sustain global dominance, and attempts to assert it in the face of structural decline may hasten the very outcome they seek to prevent.

Trump simply doesn’t care ... about the war’s repercussions on Americans.
