Subject: Re: Trump confesses
I think it's a different reason.

I don't think he's failing to end the war because Bibi told him to. I don't think he gives a rat's ass what Bibi thinks or wants, and he would sell Bibi down the river for a nickel if he thought it was in his best interests to do so.

I think it's because he's in a box where he can't get a positive outcome. Because of the opinions held by his supporters, like Dope1.

He tore up the JCPOA, and went to war with Iran even though in February they were willing to agree to a bunch of stuff, based on a core belief: Iran can never be trusted to keep their word not to pursue a nuclear weapon. That's the founding principle of his Iran policy. It's the core of his argument against the JCPOA. Of his supporters who pay any attention to Iran at all, it's the central justification for why he was right to abandon the JCPOA. That there's nothing that Iran can agree to that can be counted on.

So it doesn't matter what Bibi is telling him - there's no satisfactory way out of this. Because we're not using ground troops and the air strikes (predictably) failed to topple the regime, the war can only end with an agreement, not the unconditional surrender of Iran. But no agreement can ever be good enough, because of the founding principle discussed above. So there's nothing he can achieve that his base will accept as good enough.

He's just reaping what he's sown with his constant disparagement of the JCPOA as weak and useless, and his years of persuading his supporters that there was a better arrangement to be had. He F'd Around, and now he's Found Out....that he was wrong, and there wasn't really any materially better deal to be had from the Iranians. And that we didn't really have any way to force the Iranians into a better deal using military power. That in this situation, going out there and "tuning up" Iran wasn't going to get us what we wanted.

Trump never admits he lost and frequently doubles down. That's why the war hasn't ended. Not because Trump cares about Bibi.
