Huh? David Pakman speculates that Trump to end war is going to go along with making essentially the same Iran nuclear deal negotiated by Obama. Trump during his first term ripped up the original deal for no good reason.

Basically returning the land Israel ceded to Lebanon in the 1980's when Israel went after Hezbollah - funded by Iran's ayatollah Khamenei (Iran seems to fund a lot of the nonsense in the area)
Also my uncle died in the barracks attack in Beirut in 1982 from a suicide bomber.

Me at 46: It's only a matter of time before they start conscripting us old dudes in operation cannon fodder isn't it?
I'm sorry for your loss.
The area up to the river is being described as a "security zone." I'm not sure Israel ever ceded land to Lebanon, but it's certainly been a battle zone dating back to the late 1970s.

NEW: Each day since the start of the war in Iran, U.S. military officials compile a video for President Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours, U.S. officials say.
One described each daily video as a series of clips of “stuff blowing up.”

I think Israel is currently doing too much and going after old grievances.
Iran does too much and can basically print money with their oil reserves.
I'm not sure if us being Israel's sugar daddy with handouts and Iran's sugar daddy via oil purchase is a wise decision and I think we've seen Donald Trump has a pisspoor record of keeping ratchet whores in line (which is what both are acting like)
So what were the military objectives they were briefed on?
You can't name objectives clearly. That only brings on accountability. Everyone knows this.
IMO this contrived military objective is like most things the last 10-15 years of the National R party.
It wasn’t perfect but Obama’s admin did hard work getting the allies on board and negotiating the Iran Nuclear Agreement. But bc it was Obama the Rs ran w tearing it up on day 1 of any R presidency. I don’t think any one of them would have done it except the one. The leader of the cult. He was just stupid enough to do it without a back stop. The others were, like w a lot of topics, beating their chests and raising money to feed the base.
Everyone but him (even Rubio and Couchtabator knew better) knew that any strike on Iran would have huge energy/economic consequences. Hell it’s why every administration including Regan, Bush 1 and Bush 2 didn’t attack Iran.
He’s backed into a corner. BiBi played him. He knew exactly how to draw Trump into his war and after the bombing campaign this summer Trump felt cocky. He forgot that Iran controls the taint (Strait of Hormuz).
Now we are paying for it. Service men and women will continue to die for it. We are weaker for it (as evidenced by his Greenland bluster ahead of Davos and our allies calling his bluff and now calling it again).
