It's Week 10 of the war. But by Trump's count, 'We're into what, six weeks?' Why get into a numbers game when the month-long ceasefire is faltering and US war objectives remain fuzzy. Let neither the gap between shifting goals and the ground situation alarm you, nor let facts confuse you.
The best the war-weary can make out is that neither side wants military attacks to start again. (Sorry, Bibi). The US side from Trump on down is downplaying ceasefire violations, calling an exchange of missiles a 'skirmish'. Pete Hegseth, hair gelled and face fierce, actually said this week, 'We're not looking for a fight.'
