I’ve only seen a handful of articles from these folks, but they seem pretty thoughtful. This one is no exception. My favorite part:

Given the number of variables, however, much will depend on the wisdom and restraint of Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini, and the people around them. And that does not bode well in the short or long term.

This is the closest I’ve ever seen them get to humor, but it works.

Trump probably hopes that the United States can absorb limited Iranian retaliation and try to stay out of deeper involvement in the war. Such a ploy could work, but it is incredibly risky.

Lmao that is a lot of assumptions baked in there pal

Ultimately, Trump grew impatient with the diplomatic option

Ah, bully want use fists not words.

Israel and the US are rogue states. International law is dead and that bodes ill for all of us.
