On Thursday, Donald Trump announced the cancellation of a threatened round of airstrikes against IRGC positions in Iran, due to be launched in retaliation for a series of attacks on our regional allies. Once again, talks were about to be reopened, a marvelous “deal” was about to be signed and the war ended. “Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.”
And pretty much everyone rolled their eyes and ignored it. “More mush from the wimp,” was my reaction, recalling a famous Carter-era Boston Globe headline. This circus — threatened strikes, strikes called off for talks, Iranian forces still shooting missiles at us and our allies — has been going on for months now, and here we go again.
