Trump: "Sometimes you need a ground campaign, but we have other people that will do the ground campaign for us."
Joe Kent, who resigned from the administration over this war, thinks the ground option is in play.
His read: with the diplomatic track dead, the military has already started the groundwork so the choice is ready the moment the order comes.
So who are the "other people"?
Joe sees nobody who can actually carry it.
If meaningful boots go in, they will be AMERICAN boots, and the first casualties start what he calls a blood debt that locks Washington in for years.
It gets darker. He laid out why any plan built to truly topple Tehran reaches nuclear weapons with frightening speed, right as Netanyahu resurfaced at Dimona for his first publicized visit in nearly a decade.
He was dead serious about where it ends if nobody hits the brakes: an Israeli nuke and an American shrug.
The exit still exists.
In his eyes Trump is the one president who could declare victory tomorrow, leave, and keep his base.
Would that base really punish him for taking the win?
