 There's no end game in site - a Jon Stewart montage showed a panel,
 except all 4 members were Trump, citing a *different* end game and
 whether it was a war or an "excursion".

 We look like international chumps - having to grovel to the EU/NATO and
 to Ukraine for help after Trump burned those bridges so very well.

 What does losing look like? A global depression caused by shortages of
 LNG and oil, oil passing through the strait sold in Yuan instead of
 dollars, printing money to pay for more munitions (and incentive
 bonuses paid to the military-industrial complex to expedite munition
 production) and a collapse of the dollar. Oh, and killing a moderate
 Iranian leader with a pissed off, militant relative who's now got the
 motive and the incentive to create or otherwise obtain nuclear weapons.
