>CNN: General Dan Kaine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, specifically told senior officials in the Trump administration that the United States needs to "find a way out" of the war with Iran, believing that the military options available to escalate the conflict could have negative consequences.>Trump’s top general is ‘looking for an off-ramp’ from Iran war as US military options remain limited, sources say>Over the last few weeks, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine has privately made clear to other top Trump advisers that the US needs to find an off-ramp from the war with Iran — because the military options on the table to escalate the conflict could backfire and airpower alone is unlikely to achieve President Donald Trump’s stated objectives, according to three sources familiar with the matter.>“Caine is looking for an off ramp,” one of the sources said bluntly.>Caine is not alone in his view that the war has reached a crossroads. He has discussed concerns about the military options for escalating the conflict and raised the prospect of finding an off-ramp from the war with other key Cabinet officials, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance, two of the sources said.https://edition.cnn.com/2026/08/07/politics/general-dan-caine-off-ramp-iran-war
Odds of Israeli perfidy remain high, I wonder if the American people/infloooencers would be able to resist this red meat.
>>540383050Imagine the Iranians planning to slowly ratchet up the pressure on Trump as he approaches the mid terms. Think they'll time an all out attack on oil facilities to spike gas to $10 a gallon the first week of November?
If the current Iranian regime emerges from this with a deal where they can now charge tolls for ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz, does that mean Iran won the war?
>>540383201Probably not. Trump will just memory hole this one real quick bitching about the communists that won’t let him build his dancehall. Like it never even happened. He’s already got shit planned to interfere with the election if he doesn’t like the results: 400k immigrants registered to vote in just 4 states (all who refused to share their voter data). Of course they’re not going to share how they derived these numbers.
>>540383050How do we solve this?Nuke Tel Aviv
>>540383283No. We actually won because capitalism has been protected. Iran is now charging for right of passage rather than just allowing everyone to pass for free like the dirty socialists they were.
>>540383050he looks sad
>>540383050I think that he stopped drawing attention to the endless 1000 year long conflict in the Middle East and focused on domestic affairs then it would improve GOP results in the midterms. It's not that simple though. The second he turns his attention away, something important will explode and he'll be drawn right back into it.
>>540383820The US was never in danger from Iran. Israel potentially was in danger from Iran and Netanyahu has been trying for years to find an American President fooling enough to attack Iran for him. He finally found one
>>540383820good post if it's a joke, but i can't even tell
>>540383050fuck him, every day at the beginning of the war this piece of shit would brag about how many tomahawks we shot into civilian infrastructure, and now he wants to act like he was against it the whole time and he's out of ammo
>>540383201iranians are more clever than that, i say they try to restore transit without the U.S. and score sympathy points
>>540383589The Iranians want to teach the USA the lesson they taught Carter: any president who fucks with them will have a very painful time in office. So they are paying close attention to American politics and surely thinking about how to time their infliction of pain on American voters by way of gas prices to cause maximum damage to Trump.
>>540383820>the most centrally planned and globalized economy of all-time is heckin capitalism retard
>>540383050This story can only be from the military leaking. The idiot who started this war is leaving the US in danger.Bessent has conceded defeat. Just the big Orange Clown hasnt.
