Donald Trump's strategy for not winning

Apparently, Donald Trump isn't interested in winning if it doesn't include a months-long cease-fire and a months-long negotiation. At some point, the U.S. needs to get serious and eliminate the IRGC and the Besij. Further, it must arm the Iranian people so the Iranian people can take control of their nation. According to Fox News's reporting, "The president also told Fox News the U.S. operation involved the deployment of 49 Tomahawk missiles alongside fighter jets targeting radar and air defense systems. The strikes reportedly hammered positions about 40 miles outside Tehran and along Iran’s southwestern coast on the Persian Gulf. Trump warned that the United States is prepared to rapidly escalate military action if Tehran does not soon sign an agreement to end the ongoing crisis. 'We'll bomb the S— out of them tomorrow,' Trump warned."

Who cares? Bombing the daylights out Iran means nothing. Eliminating the IRGC and Besij is everything. They're the elite military and the domestic enforcers. Without them, the Islamic regime crumbles. Escalation is nothing. Winning is everything. That's the Kelogg Doctrine:

“I would reach a point right now, Sean, of saying, ‘We're just done with you guys. We're gonna go in, we're gonna finish the job,’” Kellogg said. "Having a protracted war is not the American way of war," he continued. "It's a war we've been conditioned to in the last few decades, where we’ve done things in Afghanistan and Iraq. We ought to go back to the way we did it in World War II and World War I and just finish the job."

Kellogg went on to argue that the United States should "obliterate" its adversaries' ability to continue fighting and force them back to the negotiating table. "When you need to come to the table, you want to talk to us, you've got our phone number," he said. "Right now, we're playing their game, not our game. Let's play our game and force them to come to us."

Mr. President, this isn't the art of the deal. It's war. Finish it. ASAP.
