" see the US is exhausted in every way -- militarily, financially and I can see the American people have lost their enthusiasm for war."

Psychologically of course after so many years, the public is sick of the war, but militarily and financially the US has hardly scratched the surface. In relative terms, this war is a small effort and a small burden, compared to some others.

The US is still the only super power, and spends more money on the military than the rest of the world combined. You can't argue with the fact that the dollar is still strong, and it is where the world goes in times of crisis. Yes there are complaints and grumbling, but when the chips are down, who opposes the US? Not China, not Russia, not Europe, not anyone!

Far from exhausted and still financially strong in spite of all the underhanded tricks dealt from New York. How can you argue differently when the evidence is apparent daily?

Maybe tomorrow things will be different, but for now, the US still has an overwhelming abundance of the world's capital and good will at their disposal. Who can stand against them? Who is willing to oppose the clear will of the U.S. and Israel?

Iran is playing a dangerous game imo. Doubly dangerous as they know full well the influences driving US policy, and those voices are not friendly to Iran.
