The Wall Street Journal reported today: "Some of Trump's advisers have privately urged him to develop a plan to withdraw from the war in Iran, as they are concerned that rising oil prices, declining public support, and potential political backlash may harm him and the Republicans. They hope he will describe the military action as having already been successful and begin to gradually end the operation before the conflict drags on."
Comment: The advisors' urgent plea for withdrawal is not out of a change of heart, but rather due to high oil prices hurting the people, public opinion continuing to decline, and pressure on the Republican election prospects; the war has turned from an asset into a liability. Trump's contradictory statements further reveal the White House's indecision: wanting to maintain a tough image while fearing being dragged into a war quagmire. This once again proves that the United States' use of military force always calculates only political and economic accounts, and so-called justice and order are merely a curtain to cover political and economic interests.
