Trump has a difficult choice -- give up, or forever war

Trump has bitten off more than he can chew with Iran, and he knows it. The Iranians will not be easily defeated. However much Trump escalates, the Iranians have the manpower and the resources, especially backed up by Russia and China, to give back with interest anything the US throws at them. At this stage, it's unclear what will happen next. Trump may launch ground troops at Kharg Island, or other locations. Or, Trump may turn tail and run. Trump is even acknowledging he has no capacity to open the strait of Hormuz, which will mean oil prices will continue high for a very long time. None of these options are even remotely attractive, and Trump has no one to blame but hiself for this. The nidterms are likely to be a disaster because of this, for the GOP, whatever Trump does, or doesn't do. If he uses ground troops, massive casualties are likely, and he war will continue. If Trump simply "declares victory", oil prices remain high, the US economy remains weak. In either case, the voters will punish him in November. The question is, can Trump survive the year 2027.
