Except American leadership never admits defeat. It takes the NEXT leader who replaces the original to actually reverse the stupid decisions made. In recent conflicts it has taken a number of iterations of leadership change before America has begrudgingly retreated and pulled their forces out, regardless of the costs. (See Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc etc)
The idea that Trump, of all people, will weigh the costs and rationally decide to make logical choices now is super optimistic to put it lightly.
Trump is just a cog in the machine. The war is costing too much, just the damaged datacenters could be enough to Bezos (one of the true rulers of the US) tug his wires.
And let’s not forget the FED cannot print dollars like crazy anymore, value is migrating to the yuan. So, the money left in the safe is being eyed out by our Tech Monarchs to feed their AI bubble.
I think the Fed will print more dollars like crazy because they don’t want to stop the economy train. The AI bubble will be bailed out like the banks were bailed out in 2008.
However if fewer people were getting those fresh dollars then the inflation would be felt more by the domestic market than it was in the past. Can the US still export inflation?
We will see the same shit as 2008: Those rich people getting the fresh dollars leads to asset prices going even higher. I think it’s already happening a bit now. And the US rich don’t invest in companies that employ a lot of people any more.
No, remember how they fleed Afghanistan in panic, with cameras on them? Nobody talks about it now, entire 20 year of war is glazed over as some oopsie barely worthy any mention.

At this point, the whole world can see what happened though. There’s not enough lipstick for this pig.

Yeah that’s a possible outcome
but will the US admit retreat?

Trump doesn’t make decisions, he’s just the fall guy for the bad ones.
