"It's The United States' Turn To Be Embarrassed."

The Axis of Resistance Was More Durable Than the West Expected
I'll admit that after what happened with Hezbollah and then Syria , it wasn't crazy to think that Israel and the United States had effectively crushed the Axis of Resistance. Yemen, while resolute, could only do so much. Iraq wasn't considered a factor. The other Arab states in the Persian Gulf were either "neutral" or loyal to the US/Israeli side. Iran was thought to be standing alone. And "help" from other allies were not coming. Russia was supposed to be too busy with Ukraine. China was still war-avert; preferring to continue with their plan for true global economic independence (or in the eyes of America: economic dominance). Iran was thought to be standing alone. Then, with the double-dose of "success" in Venezuela and pressure connected to the Epstein Files (and apparently with the lessons of the 12-Day War forgotten), President Trump decided to have the US team up with Israel and attack Iran. And now?
Is There Really An "Offramp" For the United States, and Will Deploying Ground Troops Make a Difference?
If the extra troops is merely a intimidation tactic, it's not working. But if something happens that Trump can call a "victory" (whether real or symbolic) he may have his "offramp." But as we know, that doesn't mean Israel will stop, and if the US does end their participation in this war, the US media will go back to focusing on domestic stories (ICE/immigration, midterms, Epstein, etc.).
