Donald Trump has put himself in this position.
Numerous reports appear to confirm that Trump launched a war of choice against Iran at the behest of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Trump administration does not appear to have a plan to end the war.

As gasoline prices continue to rise in the United States, the president has made a series of increasingly bizarre statements about the end of the war and the status of negotiations, which the Iranians claim do not exist.
In the United States, journalists have noted that Trump appears to be trying to manipulate the stock market with statements that he perhaps invents on the fly.
Before the markets closed Tuesday, Trump was at it again.
This time, the president made contradictory remarks during the swearing-in of Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security.
Trump was hilariously asked how he hoped the peace deal would work on a human level: “President Trump, on a human level, how hopeful are you that this peace deal will work? »
Trump couldn’t understand that he was a human being: “As a human? And on what?”
The reporter asked again: “On a human level and not as president of the United States? How hopeful are you that this peace agreement will succeed?”
Since Trump is incapable of humanity on any level, he said:
I think we’re going to end it. I can’t tell you for sure. I don’t like saying that. We have won, this war has been won. The only ones that like to continue are fake news. The New York Times, you read the New York Times, it’s like we’re not winning a war where they don’t have a navy or an air force or anything.
And we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country. They can’t do anything about it. For example, if I want to demolish this power plant, this very large and powerful power plant, there’s nothing they can do about it. It’s for me. That’s all they can do. Yeah. And yet, if you read the New York Times or if you watch ab, c, fake news or NBC fake news, you would say it’s a close battle.
It’s not a close battle. They are totally defeated.
Trump then absurdly claimed that he wanted to capture and reuse Iranian navy ships, but Pete Hegseth wanted to have fun shooting them down, even if the ships don’t fly.
Things got even crazier.
