Trump has spent months declaring the US has already “won,” yet now insists he wants to “win”! Gen. Caine’s caution about interceptor shortages and civilian casualties shows the military is still aware of the realities, while Trump’s core tenet remains on victory defined as humiliation of the other side. Escalation options like Kharg occupation or uranium seizure are totally at odds with his 2024 pledge of “no stupid foreign wars”! In short, the Pentagon is gaming scenarios, but unless someone convinces Trump to redefine what “winning” means, the search for "new ideas" is doomed to continuing circular logic.
