Trump is considering pulling a TACO on Iran. Would this be considered losing?

The lack of strategic planning is astonishing. But this is what you get from an Administration that doesn’t have a coherent foreign policy, doesn’t know what its goals are in Iran and makes decisions by “feeling it in their bones”. It can’t control Israel effectively, which is the reason we are in this, because while we’re focused on Iran, Israel is going into Lebanon and Syria - in fact, it just carried out bombings in Southern Syria to “protect the Druze minority”. What does this have to do with anything that is happening in Iran? It is Israel that doesn’t want this to end while the U.S. is increasingly saying its goals have been achieved. What is Israel doing to reopen the Strait? Are they going to send in troops? If this war was started jointly, should it not have plans to jointly end this?

Israel is increasingly the destabilizing force alongside Iran in the Middle East, because while October 7 was a tragedy, it has also emboldened Israel to the point where it’s significantly throwing around its military might without restraint, and then hiding behind the U.S. to pick up the pieces. Its democracy is flailing and its government is filled with extremists who believe in Middle East dominance, and not just for their security or “right to exist” which is equally true for those in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and beyond. That makes the entire Middle East much more dangerous, and yet very few people want to have the conversation about how we reign in Israel - particularly when you’ve got the nutcase that is Mike Huckabee endorsing their actions.

Does this make me antisemitic to point this out?

Rubio won't let him do that. Don't be confused on who the real power is behind Trump's foreign policy, because it sure isn't Vance...

I can’t believe Rubio was behind the decision to go cowboy on Iran - that feels like pure Trump / Hegseth

Better for this to end now and for him to declare victory and for everyone to shut up about it so he moves on to something else.

First year associate thinking about making the just from medium sized reputable IP firm to In House. Started at said firm summer of 1L year as a law clerk/patent agent in May 2019, have worked through school and full time as associate since Sept 2021. Feeling very “stuck” in day to day work. Love the patent/IP space but drafting and pros w/minimal human interaction is getting very difficult. Thinking In House would be better, but not sure how much experience needed. Thoughts?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example).
