19. There are only two long term options: 1: Accept Iran's demands, declare victory and leave. This is by far the best

option for us and the world, but very unlikely, since it would be next to impossible to spin as a victory, and Trump can never accept defeat, especially in these circumstances.

2: Escalate. That's what these briefings are for. That's what Trump will eventually do, since the current situation regarding the strait of Hormuz is untenable.

However, escalation is likely to fail, and then what? Tactical nukes? Trump is more than capable of pushing the button because he is a psychopath and doesn't have long to live. Also, he wants to be an important historical figure and popping off a nuke or two will surely do that.

This Iran war just gets scarier and scarier.
