Is Trump Tired of Winning?
President Trump famously promised that we would “get tired of winning.” The question occurs: Has he gotten tired of winning?
That appears to be the case in the wake of Mr. Trump’s declaration that Israel’s war with Iran is over. Today, he is expected to follow up that ceasefire with another one in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
While some perceive such imposed ends of hostilities to be evidence of the President’s power to make peace and, perhaps thereby, win a Nobel prize, such achievements are certain to prove fleeting, at best.
At worst, they guarantee more, truly endless war will be conducted against Israel, the United States and Western civilization more generally at the hands of Iranian and other Sharia-supremacists emboldened by their survival at our hands.
That is the sort of “win” of which we will become very tired.

This does not make sense. "Winning" is in the eye of the beholder. Iran will be very quiet (just like N. Korea, China and Russia) when it comes to antagonizing the US (remember the period of complicity after we conquered Baghdad?). We missed the boat in ignoring N. Korea's bomb program (what is the use of paying for non-proliferation if we will do nothing about it when it happens?), but Iran his an extremely hurt pup and will be licking wounds for a long time. Their leaders only care about themselves (despite their bravado in public), so the risk of death will be on the top of their minds. They have no more allies either. Peace makes sense as long as we keep an eye on the nuclear production in Iran (if we don't, certainly Israel will). The 1980 attack set them back 40+ years and it was not nearly as devastating as the recent attacks. If they want to risk it, I say let them get their 70 virgins.
Israel is not tired of winning. Their opponents have never surrendered, and always live on to continue fighting the War: HUDNA. Mohamed's strategy.
